Mollusk Surf Shop- This surf shop is for all those Rockaway-bound New Yorkers looking to catch the perfect wave. The graffiti-adorned sister store of the famed San Francisco surf shop opts for hand-shaped boards by top local and California craftsmen like Manny Caro, Chris Christensen and Rich Pavel. instead of the cheap, mass-produced fare prevalent in today's waters. There's also a wide array of wetsuits, stylish cotton T-shirts, surf literature and just about anything else city slickers need to get ready for their own endless summers.
(Editorial Review by Brian Merchant)

Kayrock Screenprinting- Wolfy of Kayrock made our rockin poster this year!!!! Their work says it all...Be sure to check out their table of prints and t-shirts @Secret Santa Project.

Live with Animals Gallery- about their current show:
The Center of the Earth is an exhibit of over one hundred of Panacea Theriac's puppets from live shows and movies, and also some nature paintings. They represent a complicated parallel universe that is governed by large mysterious entities living in the center of the earth who boss everyone around. From the mean witch Christy Corn Pop, Dusty and Treasure, to Captain Dream Weaver and the Happy Tree! These are not works of art, they are busy portholes. The exhibition will include a live puppet show "The Mystery at Squirrel Ranch" on the opening night and the films Trixie and the Treetrunks, North Pole Nutrias, and Electric Swamp will be shown throughout the month. Panacea Theriac is also known as Miss Pussycat of Quintron and Miss Pussycat, a musical experience. She does puppet shows in rock clubs all over the world and lives at the Spellcaster Lodge in New Orleans , LA .
There will be a closing reception Saturday, December 13th from 2pm-7pm. check it out while you're visiting the Secret Santa Project sale!

I'm sure there are many other amazing artist and performers in this building ,that we would love to meet ...So come on by tomorrow and introduce yourself!...

Bonbon Oiseau Raffle!! Get your tickets at the Secret Santa Project!

2008-12-10T16:36:00.005-05:00

Deb from Bonbon Oiseau has organized a raffle to benefit the Food Bank of NYC (local soup kitchens had to turn people away on Thanksgiving--pretty sad state of affairs).
A bunch of very cool local designers, companies, and artists donated some pretty hot looking stuff and also a few artists from out of state...(Hortensia Handmade Knits/Ann Wood Birds/Therapay Bath products/ Bonbon Hairpiece and Jewelry/Paris Guides from Open Road Publishing/Sesame Letterpress Coasters/Perch Design ceramics and more) ...all together, these goods are worth about $800.

Deb has already raised over $500 and will be selling tickets ($5 at the events and $10 on-line via paypal to deb@bonbonoiseau.com) at the Secret Santa Project sale this weekend. Her goal is to raise at least $2000 by December 21st (that's when the drawing is!) For every dollar we give the Food Bank, Robin Hood will triple our donation. The big winner will be announced on Deb's blog, Your Destiny is Stone Golden on Monday, December 22nd. So make sure to stop by the Bonbon Oiseau table on Saturday and buy your raffle tickets!!
