Hey dudes, it's been a while since I've posted because the Yo Gabba Gabba storm is a'brewin like nobody's business. This season, Puny is contributing quite a bit more animation to the show and I don't mean to toot our own horn but... it's all so good it's going to blow your mind.
Here are a couple recent photos of DJ Lance Rock, the coolest cat this side of the tracks.

Is that a Lance hand? I think it is.


Thought this photo turned out nice - he's taking a stroll through our imaginations


How did Lance and I end up in the opening credits of Fresh Prince?

Another reason to like our new space!

The Groovie Ghoulies NY Knitting Factory poster that Otha and I did a few years ago is in the "A Fistfull of Rock & Roll" art book due out in September from Dark Horse. It features rock art by the likes of Shepard Fairey, Tara McPherson, Lindsay Kuhn, Gilbert Hernandez, Brian Ewing, and Art Chantry.

A big part of our job is coming up with names and designs for things...

Usually we do not start by pulling down the old sign...

...to sift through the big pile of letters....


..but that's how we're going to name PUNY Gallery..because it's cheap...

and could have a Minnesota Flavor...

or...different...flavor.

Is this the name?

Do you have anything? Cheat by going to this Anagramgenerator for L I E N S B O O K S H O P and help us decide on something good. Hobo Sin, Honky Op Slobs, Ooh Kelp, Elk Snob?

We can only use nine of the letters...ten if it's one word.

Move was smooootttththhhh. No problems and only a day of downtime. We have some computers to hook-up on Monday morning but the network and all of the essentials are good to go.

Everyone packs up their desk and gets the bulk of the studio packed up in less than two hours.

Cardboard replaces everyone. Stop recycling, start rehabilitation. Put cardboard to work for you.

Yui washing dishes.

And everything into the new space.

...and goodnight 507 E.

There is plenty to blog about...buy it's all been put aside as we frantically prepare our new nest. We're moving this Friday and are under the gun to get it ready. It's gone fairly smoothly as everyone has been chipping in after hours to get things done. There were only a few Money Pit moments including tearing down layers of walls on a whim and then realizing we needed to put cover them back up, our first builders ditching out without telling us, and finding out that most of the electrical had been cut in a 1990s remodel. It's looking like it'll all come together Friday morning.

Our new main address is:

PUNY 507 Hennepin Ave E, Minneapolis, MN 55414.

The new location is great, it was formerly Lien's Bookshop. It's only a few blocks from the Mississippi river and near plenty of restaurants and bars. (including a PUNY fave..Industrial Bar) We have four times the square footage of our three previous suites under one roof!





I'll post more photos after we fix it all up, here is one of Mitch. Hey Mitch.
