Collectible #9:
2AM KKD Sandwich
This one I actually wrote and began crafting over a year ago because I wanted to make it so badly – being such a staple of Burlington nightlife. Hopefully it brings some of you back to your college days like it does for me. I heard that Kountry Kart Deli no longer stays open this late so my condolences to the current generation.
Released for Seaba Art Hop 2023.
Collectible #10:
Burlington Slumlord
You know ’em, you hate ’em, now immortalize ’em into a figurine that doubles as a voodoo doll if you place it on your lease surrounded by Yankee Candles. Another big release for the SEABA Art Hop 20203!

Collectible #12:

Ollie was the first Vermont Collectible I tried making back in February of 2022, but I wasn’t happy with the results so put him on the back burner until now. Very happy to finally share his story with others.

Influencer Trespassing on Private Road
Sleepy Hollow Farm in Pomfret, Vermont has been hit with so many tourists and influencers trying to take photos of the foliage that the town has had to shut down roads leading to it.
“Cloudland and surrounding roads become impassable during the Fall, and roads and poorly behaved tourists have damaged roads, had accidents, required towing out of ditches, trampled gardens, defecated on private property, parked in fields and driveways, and verbally assaulted residents,” according to a GoFundMe launched in June by local residents. The fundraiser is hoping to pay for law enforcement to man the road closure and provide new signage for the area.
A portion of each sale of this collectible will be donated to the GoFundMe. You can also donate directly here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/save-cloudland-road
Collectible #17:
Phineas Gage
I want to start doing more historical pieces based in Vermont and thought Phineas Gage would be a fun one to start with now that a CT scan of his skull exists online.

Also as seen at every Vermont ski resort.
Collectible #20:

Celebrate the 2024 eclipse with this limited time collectible, sure to satisfy the gods and grant you and your family good fortune.
Collectible #22:
All Season Tires
I actually made this years ago when I first started dipping my toe into bootleg toys/collectibles. For whatever reason I held off making the packaging for it, but I finally finished it for Art Hop 2024.
Collectible #23:
Burlington Starter Pack
Number two of three VT collectibles I made for 2024 Art Hop, now on display at the The Space Gallery.
It was hard narrowing it down to five things, so someday I might make an expansion pack. What would you include? City Market membership card? Flynn tickets? Bird bike in a tree?
Also, try not to take this piece too seriously. I grew up in Burlington and still love it here. Like all of my pieces this one is meant to be more satirical than anything else.
Collectible #24:
Curse Radio That Only Plays Local Ads
Third VT Collectible I made for 2024 Art Hop. If you’re from Chittenden County, chances are you can hear this image.
Other Vermont works:
Church Street Nudist
Who else remembers this dude? While it’s been a few years since he made local headlines, another nudist was spotted on church street just a couple of months ago.
Eye On The Sky swag
My first shirt was unveiled at Art Hop and was a hit (I transcribed an entire broadcast on the back). @vermontpublic just shared it themselves to the masses so grab a shirt, mug, sticker, or bumper sticker in my Etsy shop while supplies last.
Fake Ticket Stickers
Been having fun crafting a bunch of fake tickets to Vermont attractions and events. They double as stickers so you can slap ’em on your phone case, canteen, etc.
I’ve made around 12 different tickets with various levels of tomfoolery added to them, but since this landmark is weird enough on its own I kept it simple. Every time I unveil a new one I leave some near the location they’re about.
Fake Video Games
What VT video game should I make next?
