Right after the Alternative Press Expo, I was interviewed by Hyperallergic about dorklandia. I just realized today that the article was published on Halloween, which rocks. I love Halloween. 🙂
Here’s the link:

Toy production is a pretty big topic in my tiny universe. One of the issues I struggle with is whether to outsource production. It is very satisfying to look over my work and think, “I made every single bit of that,” but if I want my work to get picked up by a distributor and have my toys in stores, I’ll have to go from maker to designer-and-outsourcer to have reasonable production levels. But mass-produced toys lose a bit of magic. On the other hand, being a full-time toy designer would be entirely awesome! So, I keep going back and forth.
Happy November!
