Today I'm hard at work making more merch for Renegade SF this weekend, but here's a beardy print I found in Happymeat's Etsy shop to brighten your day.

Small mention of the beard shop in an article about Renegade Craft Fair in Style Section LA.

Found this awesome illustration by Bart Aalbers this morning and gasped. It's been a while since I've seen such a fantastic long beard! His design is being made into a t-shirt, which you can find here.

Renegade LA was so much fun, thanks to everyone who came out to say hi! It was my first outdoor fair, which comes with lots of new challenges and awesomeness, but all in all it went really well. I forgot to mention before that I shared a booth with Keiko of Small Adventure! She's a super talented lady, so go check out her shop immediately if you aren't already familiar. That's her card up above, plus a couple of the awesome leaf pins she was selling over the weekend.

We were stationed very nearby the lovely Fugu Fugu Press, who makes this fantastic moustachioed card.

Didn't get a chance to meet them, but Paste t-shirts were also at Renegade. Their God shirt is pretty beardy (and pretty rad).

And of course, Fuzzy Ink was there selling fuzzy t-shirts and giant plush moustaches! Lot of other hairy items at Renegade, hopefully I'll have lots more to report on after next weekend's show!

These gnomes are so awesome, they don't even need faces. Bushy beards will do.

Really getting excited about Renegade LA this weekend in Los Angeles State Historic Park (aka: The Cornfield)! Here's a photo from the last Renegade Craft Fair I did in San Francisco, hoping to have some cool booth upgrades for this year :) Hope to see you at the fair this weekend!

Just found ivyatoms Etsy shop, with this little beardy gem! I like to think that the beardy guy was feeling a bit self conscious about his facial hair, so his partner is reassuring him, "Yes, your beard really is awesome!"

This talented young lady is heading off to art school in the fall, go buy one of her fantastic illustrations and help her get there!

Less than a week left until Renegade LA! As you might expect, I've still got a million things to do, but in the meantime, here's a lovely illustration from Chris Silas Neal.

A nice day to listen to the Beach Boys, maybe? Fun illustration by Deanna Halsall.

Love this guy, found him on labmassiv.

I'm back, beardos.

Sorry for the long dry spell, I had to go radio silent for a while as I made my move from Oregon to California. It's been pretty crazy down here so far. Not too many beards, but I am enjoying this other new thing I've discovered... it's called sunshine, and it's pretty cool.

Here's a really fantastic screenprint I found on Etsy today, by HelloMarine. Hope I can look this good while I'm out in public for the upcoming Renegade Craft Fairs in LA and SF! Speaking of... I'll be debuting a few new things here on the blog before the shows, so keep an eye out for that!

It's been a crazy week for me: two group art shows featuring my non-beardy artwork, and I'm preparing for a third show next week. So yeah, sorry for the light posting. Here's another more retro version of my sweater vest man.

Also, I'll be away from my Etsy shop and this blog for a few days next week while I move to California, but don't worry, I'll be back to regularly scheduled programming once I arrive!
