More announced soon.

Still working away!  //  Posted On: Fri, 09 May 2008

We’re still alive. Spending 10+ hours everyday picking away at the huge amount of work we must get done in our super tiny deadline! All this plush is making me feel a bit like this:

The wonderful dead giraffe is made by Big Softees. What you can’t see in that photo is the massive size of that stack of boxes. It is roughly 10 feet tall by 5 feet wide. Really stunning!

Lucky, for us, we have lots of nice volunteers to help out with this massive workload.

Here you can see one of the Evil Little Girls working on cleaning up some photos. Below we have half of Bobbin for Apples working on mind-melting inventory.

Here I am with my trusty lint roller. I’ve been taking photos like mad! This huge guy was made by Spooky Daddy! We took him for a little photo shoot at the Shangri La Diner!

However he isn’t the biggest piece we have:

This life size big-foot named Claude was made by Superchick Studio! He stands over 7 feet tall! He is super soft… and he is a great friend to hug!

Anyway… that’s enough for now…

You may have noticed the lack of updates here…

Well, they really are coming now. Hundreds of them. Plush from all around the world.

The mountain of boxes has consumed the back room of Cranky Yellow and it is growing everyday!

That photo shows about 20 of the 150+ boxes we will be getting. Wow.

I’ll try to find some time to update everyone on the progress as we move forward. There is a huge amount of work ahead of us… so please be understanding.

I’ve been bad with posting new blogs here. Please forgive me.

Our call for artists is over and we’ve recieved a ridiculous amount of applications. Our judges are currently reviewing all of the submissions and will be posting up the accepted artists ASAP! We’re trying really hard to be ahead of schedule!

I’m also able to release the first two bands booked for the APOP Records location! They are Lovely Little Girls and Panicsville!  It’s actually sort of funny that APOP coincidentally booked Lovely Little Girls the same night as our show because I’m a HUGE fan of them! Which means I’m (even more) super excited about the show!

Excitement!  //  Posted On: Tue, 25 Mar 2008

Okay: I know I missed a few days of blogging here due to… well… the regular insanities of my life. I’ve spent the last two days at the hospital with fellow Cranky Yellow staff member Angelo. Which is why some of you received late responses from me. I had to haul his butt to the emergency room when I found him on the floor of the shop yesterday around 2:00…. and I didn’t get to check in with my computer until today (at 9pm). Rest assured he is fine now!

Anyway… I logged in today to find that Crammed Organisms had been blogged about by Craft and consequently put right up on the front page of their site! WOW! I’ve been dancing around ever since!

I snagged a screen shot for all of you to see! (click it to make it bigger!)

YAY!

Keep in mind you have little less than a week to apply.
Thanks again to Jenny Ryan of Craft for the shout out!

(I’m now off to bed to catch up on the sleep I’ve missed!)

It’s a photo of my cat harassing the local squirrel. I took the photo last spring and didn’t share it with the world. Okay. I know it isn’t plush related but damn it’s cute!
