Happy Holidays!


Thanks, Ottawa! You've made this a pretty bangin' Fall/Winter season!
The Winged Beast will rest soon... there is still time to get your last minute holiday orders in! But you will have to be fast.

Looking forward to 2012!

Cheers,

The Winged Beast (Stirling)

Winged Beast Outfitters Returns to Toronto Oct. 23


Next weekend is the beginning of the fall season for Winged Beast Outfitters. And, I'm kicking it off with a little trip out of town. I'm heading to Canzine 2011 in Toronto!
Details:
Sunday, October 23
Toronto – 918 Bathurst Centre
918 Bathurst St. @ 1 – 7 pm
There's a $5 cover, but it's worth it.

Everyone who reads this and lives in Toronto should come. And, tell a friend to come, too.

Here's why: it's been a few years since I've made a stab at the Big Smoke, but I think the timing is right, or rather I have the time (which ever). To sweeten the deal, I'll be rolling out new stuff for the sellin'.

There's this wicked toque, entitled simply "My Pants!".

Click on this pic to find out why it's so awesome.
There will be four new post cards. Some are new, and a couple are variations on old themes. Either way, I'm pretty happy with them. Look out for a limited run of Squid Menace posters.

And last but not least, there will be kitten army t-shirts. Finally, I got off my duff and made these. I had to after I got a lot of demand for them at the Wolf Island Music Festival.
I'm looking forward to this! Hope you are now, too.

Returning to Wolfe Island!


Winged Beast Outfitters is heading to the Wolfe Island Music Festival August 5-6. It's a great little festival on an island near Kingston. I was a vendor there last year, and it was an amazing blast. The line-up is pretty awesome looking. Personally, I'm excited about the Wooden Sky and Jenn Grant.

What will I have that's new? Well, there will be new cardigans and some new t-shirt prints, as well as more up-cycled retro pillowcases and tea-towels.

New up-cycled retro pillowcases!
Also, a couple new one inch pins... and, of course the return of the classics!

So, if you're in or near Kingston-town and looking for a great weekend of music: a) come to this festival and b) drop by my tent!

Lights On and Back at it for 2011


Well, it's time to get back at it.

After Christmas, I was planning to take a couple months' hiatus from Winged Beast Outfitters. I used the time to get my new blog off the ground, Drop The Reference Bomb, off the ground. I've been writing about my other life as a librarian.

Anyways, my break was cut short. A couple shows have fallen into my lap this past week, and I couldn't pass them up. So I've dusted off the screens and am getting ready to launch 2011... which is in fact the FIFTH ANNIVERSARY of the Winged Beast!

And since it's the the fifth, I'm going to do some auspicious things. Auspicious, besides the usual hustlin'! New Website(soonish)! New designs and prints! A special limited edition anniversary print coming out this spring! More music festivals (maybe)!

Amazing, right? It's a lot of new stuff to learn and a loooong to-do list. Still, I'm looking forward to a great year!

More on up coming shows later this week.
