So what has been going in Able and Game land for the last few weeks? Designing new cards, new calendars and getting ready for all the markets we have coming up till Christmas. The next two months will see us going up to Sydney for Finders Keepers on the 4th and 5th of December as well as the Christmas @ Meat Market in December in North Melbourne. The Melbourne Design Market on Sunday 6th of December and Thread Den's North Melbourne Market this Sunday at the Lithuanian Club on Errol Street as well as our usual spot at Rose Street every Saturday and Sunday.We are looking forward to all of these markets, particularly the interstate trip. Almost makes us feel like we are jet setters!
Gareth and I were having dinner with a friend a few weeks back and the guy making our pizza and pasta had this t-shirt on. I thought it was the funniest thing I had seen in a long time and wondered how old it was. I told our friend I would design a card that had someone wearing that t-shirt, and if we sold one at Rose Street I would buy him a pizza. I still owe him a pizza and you can buy it yourself on Etsy if there is someone out there that makes you heart beat faster.
This is the second Able and Game calender we have designed with a focus on the different fashions worn throughout the different seasons. It is also in A4 format and is available on Etsy. I will be working on some more during the week and hopefully they will feature some ladies. I seem to be drawing a lot of men at the moment.
Gareth and I are both very excited that Able and Game will be taking part in the Sydney Finders Keepers Market in December. The market is on Friday 4th December from 6pm-10pm and then on Saturday 5th December from 10am-8pm at Carriage Works in Eveleigh. We will have our full range of cards including Christmas Cards as well as 2010 Calendars, prints and some other new items I'm working at the moment. For those of you in Melbourne, we will still be at Rose Street that weekend. Gareth is working on a cloning machine as we speak.
If you watched the video in our last post and thought the guy who cleaned up nuclear waste was pretty funny then you might like this card. He is a little bit unsure of himself, something I put down to his lack of protective clothing. We have listed this new Able and Game card in our Etsy shop and it will also be available at Rose Street this weekend.
