Hi friends. I’m very happy to share that you can find me reunited with my pals FAD Market sharing my work for the first time at their amazing Invisible Dog location!

FAD Market’s NYC+Design
May 20-21, 11-6pm
At The Invisible Dog
51 Bergen St, Brooklyn

This curated market is part of the NYC Design Festival, andI’m honored to be a part of it. I’ll once again be showcasing larger Sock Puppet Portraits, and as always I’ll have a pile of the little ones and as many real puppets as I can make.

I’m so excited to finally share that my sixth book of non-fiction “50 Knots for Every Adventure,” will officially release this month, on Tuesday, March 14!

The book is available for pre-order through all the major places, but in a fun and strange effort to weirdly TIE TOGETHER the stuff I do, I’m offering a very limited special edition SOCK PUPPET PORTRAIT in honor of the new book, made from my favorite knot! And this first edition is only available with a signed copy of the book as a package through martystuff.com and Sock Puppet City! ONLY 25 AVAILABLE!

Meet KNOT-TASHA WOGGLE BIGHT, a sock puppet inspired directly by the awesome process of learning so many knots, she’s made out of  the scout’s “woggle”. She’s an avid climber, sailor, and fortune teller. And she loves pie.

The final Nine-time is here: Sunday the Sparklecorn! We enter 2023 triumphantly by offering another brand new Sock Puppet Portrait character - a salute to my most successful style of sock puppets that I offer for sale. She loves to eat glitter and smells like cupcakes and is very good at D&D.

Nine-time was a self-imposed structure I created in order to build a Seres of nine new sock puppet portrait characters. On the ninth of every month from May 9, 2022 - January 9, 2023 , I released a new Sock Puppet Portrait character. Three brand new and six old school re-releases, but all in new styles with new packaging, frames, and dated and edition-ed  tags. For NINE Months! Like a baby, but pictures of socks to build an all new Series of nine characters!

I’m thrilled now to present the SERIES 2, VERSION 2 Sock Puppet Portraits! TAH DAHHH!

I’m thrilled to report that my Kickstarter, RETURN of the SOCK PUPPET PORTRAITS was a huge success, coming in at 110% funded on August 18, 2021. Thank you everyone who supported and shared!

Truly, I just wanted to drop a Big Public Note of gentle reminder to any anyone who was kind enough to support my Kickstarter but hasn't yet seen their rewards. Because most of you should have gotten your stuffs! I sent a big message out in early November via Kickstarter and roped in around 10 of you glorious stragglers, and if you’re in that crew, your stuff is coming mid-November, but I always worry about the power of the combination of Spam filters and the sheer volume of information we are all subjected to. 

Anyhow, there are a few exceptions who should have heard from me personally. Otherwise, there’s a last pile of 30 or so dear souls who asked for rewards, and if you didn’t receive your stuff yet, I for some reason didn’t receive your survey (or something went wrong in the mail). No worries and please just reach out.

As has been stated, no further worries at all if you simply haven’t gotten to it, I’m happy to get you your work whenever you’d like it. And if you have no idea where this mythic survey is, please just let me know, and I can send you your link again.

I first have to fulfill the needs of all of my lovely Kickstarter backers, but I'll also be working toward listing the new characters here. And if you are from a small business that would like to carry them, please reach out immediately for wholesale pricing!

Above you can see the NINE characters I'm offering as small framed Sock Puppet Portraits in the year to come!

I can’t say enough how excited I am to be re-launching and re-branding my Sock Puppet Portraits alongside my entire brand/world, Sock Puppet City. 

The gift that keeps on giving, custom sock puppets of friends, family members, loved ones, pets, sea-faring associates, and so forth.
