Fur Face Boy Series 4!
Last night I, along with a few of you guys, attended the Fur Face Boy Series 4 release party at The Public Trust in Deep Ellum. I arrived at the event half an hour early (and FFB was about an hour late), so I decided to grab some grub off of Main St. What better place for The Good Child to eat than the All Good Cafe? I was hungry and my order was obscure (quesadillas and apple pie), but man it hit the spot! The cafe was fairly empty, but it added to the quaint and dimly lit atmosphere. I loved the origami birds hanging from the ceiling and the multi-colored Christmas lights around the room.
After I was good and full, I left the cafe and headed back to The Public Trust where the doors were open and a crowd was forming.
I said hello to Brian Gibb, grabbed a small cup of eggnog, and checked out the prints for the night. The line-up for print artists was Bee Things, Taro-Kun, Blakely Dadson, Steven Hopwood-Lewis, Jeremy Smith, Brent Ozaeta, Mylan Nguyen, Magnificent Beard, Brian Gibb (artist + runs The Public Trust), Billy Zinser, aaand Lily Smith-Kirkley. Check out the images of their work:
After staring deeply at each print, Fur Face Boy still hadn't arrived. No product was allowed to be sold until Fur Face Boy arrived, but the merchandise was set up beautifully. All the styles were organized by size and style to help the event go smoothly.
Fur Face Boy arrived! Yay!
Upon his arrival, the sale of FFB Series 4 began. I entered the tiny space where the product was set up and waited patiently to make my purchase. I didn't even care how crowded it was, because everybody was really polite and it was cool to see how focused Fur Face Boy was with each customer. Fur Face Boy made each customer experience unique. When it was time to officially say Hello, I chatted with Fur Face Boy about The Good Child, the FFB Clean t-shirt, and our possible trip to see TRON: Legacy next weekend (he's got something else really special planned for next weekend, so I understand if he can't make it!). I copped some of his new product and disappeared back into the gallery - which had really filled up!
I met some new people, saw some old friends, and handed out some free stickers. See some of these awesome folks below!
When I was a late teenager, I used to go to Deep Ellum to see all of my shows and events, but now events are spread across the board. However, the turn-out for the event and the product was stellar - I felt alive again in Deep Ellum!
Thanks to Fur Face Boy, the Fur Face Boy team, Brian Gibb, and all of the print artists showcased at The Public Trust for making the evening 100% awesome. Also a big shout out to my new friends and old. Congratulations, Fur Face Boy!
Billy Zinser - MACRODONS! Billy was so super cool, he even signed this limited edition Macrodon for my friend (they make awesome stocking-stuffers)!

Fur Face Vy and Fur Face Angel were running the show behind the tables (keeping our dirty hands off the product), until…
Rolf (works at Fossil, Inc + does freelance) and Ana!
Even Shogun was there picking up some FFB Series 4 stock!

1 Year Anniversary Party!
Last night, I went to the coolest shop on Knox/Henderson…We Are 1976. I visit Vynsie/Derek/Jully at their shop quite often, but last night was special - the three owners invited family and friends to come celebrate their 1 Year Anniversary.
For the special event, they nearly cleared off the shop floor, and left an island in the center to showcase the limited edition prints made especially for the party. Print artists included Bee Things, Bows + Arrows, Dowdy Studio, Fur Face Boy, William Binnie + Tamara Coleman, and screen printing instructors. They also had this rad homemade clock (that I should have bought). Check it all out below!
Seriously, that clock is SO RAD. Look!

I have a special place in my heart for wood-burned/engraved/embossed art.
I had a total blast chatting it up with the Fur Face Boy Crew - Ha, Angel, and Vy. I think I talked to Angel the longest; kid is super real. I was happy to visit with Connor and Matt of Magnificent Beard; Connor told me to check out DKNG and The Invisible Creator Guys - which I must have spelled wrong, because I cannot find it online. Oops. I also talked with Derek, Vynsie, Jully AND the Law's Aunt, who was so excited about their celebration that she wanted to help in any way possible.
Before leaving, I left some NEW, BIGGER, and BETTER The Good Child stickers at the counter. Yeah, they're also free - limitedly free. Grab some!
Big 'thank you' to We Are 1976, all of the local screen printers/artists, and everyone who helped provide food, drinks, and music.
