Indie in Ypsi: Shadow Art Fair (part 2: the people and the place!)
So, that last post would have gotten out of hand if I had included everything I want to write and show, so I decided to break it into two posts. And now for part 2! This year’s poster and t-shirt were designed by the amazing and talented Melissa Dettloff (aka Mad Dog) who just happens to be my friend and studiomate. The shirts and posters were printed by the ubiquitous VG Kids.
She's clearly pleased her design was chosen.
Here’s a quick look around the fair:

A couple of booths I’d like to feature:
Sarah Bradstreet, working it at the Broad Street booth
the lovely Maria working the Swipple! booth
Swipple!
Their booth debuted a sleek new design this year for maximum art viewing (and therefore purchasing).
And then there was the food! This vegan was pleased as punch about Jennifer Albaum’s Chips and Cheeeze which rocked to a sold-out audience. Thankfully, you can find the recipe over at her blog Scumpdilly.
Jennifer serving ups Chips and Cheeeze! We had ours with lotso jalapenos...
Mark Maynard was also signing people up for his Cycle Powered Cinema project. Mark (my man) has volunteered to help out. MM was posting to his blog live during the SAF, which is pretty funny. There’s even a bathroom video interview with Ryan Groendyk, one of the meisters in charge of the Shadow Brew which sadly got all drunk up before we made it back for our second visit for the day. I hear it was pretty amazing and…”weird” (hey, that’s Ryan’s own description).
As twilight fell, Manhole rocked some Chuck E. Cheese-style limbo action outside under a glorious sky.
I hope you had fun! (I know I did)
