#Today and tomorrow, no matter the weather. 42nd to 57th.

So the Humboldt Made folks posted this on their own social media accounts on platforms I don’t use anymore, so I thought I’d share it to the ones I do.

I made the poster for this year’s Friday Night Market in Eureka, California, USA, which is a weekly streetfair and farmer’s market that happens all summer. It features local music, artisans, food, and produce from all over Humboldt County in northern California.

It has been happening for many years, and is (at this point) a community institution. Humboldt Made is a big proponent of local makers, and are striving to find ways to push the fantastic goods made here onto a larger stage and wider markets. They’ve attended trade shows, invited grocery chains up to wine-n-dine them, and sponsored this event for the last couple years.

It has over 100 vendors, and I’m proud to say that I’m a gold member of the organization. Through it, I’ve made friends here in Humboldt County along the Redwood Coast, and been able to share my work in ways that wouldn’t have been possible if I’d remained in a larger urban area. My art practice has become a reciprocal expression of the community, where I take suggestions and then make art that expresses the personality and character of the region. It is a deep community experience that I never knew I needed in my life before moving here to the area a little more than a year ago.

So this poster means a lot. It has a lot embedded into it, as an artistic expression. It has a lot of meaning to me.

St John's Bizarre #PDX #streetfair

I found it! Had to look around a bit; it’s actually north of the Circle.
A very small street fair on Broadway #today, one block I believe. But there’s also the salesmen and food carts nearby, at the entrance to the Park.
EDIT: I bought a spider plant on the way home for $7 from that nice Hispanic lady on 9th. She said I should water it maybe once a week. I have a better pot for it.

My favorite glasses broke. I have two back up pair left, plus a pair at work.
These did very well, as they’re readers (2s, up from 1.5s* for years) I bought at last Spring’s midtown Manhattan street fairs, about $8 each. I used to be able to find them w spring temples and nose bridge, now only spring temples.
*Note no apostrophe. Apostrophes are for possessive, not plurals.
Almost time for street fairs, so I’ll replenish for ‘26 ~
