Crazy Crafts At The Degenerate Craft Fair, Time To Productize

Last month my friend Amy Wilson suggested we get some store space in December to sell our work and showcase our projects. Amy rolled up her sleeves in New York and set up the Degenerate Craft Fair (“artist-made gifts and holiday fun”). While I do not see myself as a degenerate, opinions on the matter do vary, and I’m very happy to announce Crazy Company’s co-sponsorship of the fair along with our friends at Kickstarter. 

There are three great and varied locations the fair will be appearing at starting December 4th then scattered across the month: Silent Barn in Ridgewood, the 303 Grand pop-up store in Williamsburg, and BravinLee Programs in Manhattan.

I’ll be there selling dollar square inches of LOVELAND, Detroit which is a huge prompt to productize the property with tangible giveaways, which is something I’ve been wanting to do for a while but have missed while running around like a hypnotized chicken planning, learning, doing life stuff and getting other things in order. There are already square inch paper deeds with plastic magnifying glasses in the works, and the shirts should be ready pretty soon but there will be more.

One of the things I want to do this week is get a whole bunch of square inch tiles and square foot tiles and paste dirt from the property on them. Now, this could look either very attractive/interesting/cute or very ugly. I’ll post some pics as I experiment. But the idea is to package them as physical takeaways of your land, in actual land form.

I’m sure there’ll be some other surprises too and what not, and that’s just me. There’ll be a bunch of cool people with cool art and stuff so you should plan to do some New York Christmas shopping with us. I’m also trying to set up a couple in-person retail spots in Detroit and I’ll let you know what I find here.

Remember: INCHES IN DETROIT MAKE THE BEST STOCKING STUFFERS EV-AR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Merry Inchmas, everybody.
