My Balls Love Amy Sedaris (Simple Times: Crafts For Poor People)

I did a mini-collaboration with the lovely Amy Sedaris for her new book Simple Times: Crafts for Poor People in a section called "Out of this World: Space Balls and Blast Offs."  Our friends Tony Longoria, Todd Oldham (tin foil bracelet), Adam Selman (costumes), and Zaldy (wheelchair backpack) also contributed arts & crafts pieces as well. It is HIGH-LARIOUS!

Here are some photos of the book:

Below are some cute vintage ads from the 1950s and 1960s on ice cream that caught my eye"
