I should probably introduce myself… 😅

Hi, I’m Daryl.

I’m an actor turned self published author. I’ve written two lgbtq coming-of-age novels. I know, like, 12 chords and 2 strumming patterns on the ukulele and, last year, I took up ice skating.

MARKET POST!!!
Sept. Weeks 3 & 4

It’s slowed down for us at the markets and I’ve been starting to feel a bit burnt out, so I wanted to lessen the load. This Sunday will also be the last market of the month since next weekend is my birthday! Yay! 🥳

But yeah, that is gonna do it for this month.

MARKET POST
September Week Two
As mentioned in my previous market post, September is kind of a funky month with my schedule so I’m going on a week to week basis.

Here are the dates for this weekend. We’re at our two usuals. We’re there almost every weekend. At this point, it might be easier to post when we won’t be there. 😅

Market post for this weekend!!!
Sept is kinda difficult when it comes to markets. I got a couple things going on this month and I’m not 100% sure on my schedule right now. I’m hesitant to book since a lot of markets have a no refund policy. So this month I’m gonna be operating on a week to week basis. Stay tuned!

I’m really happy the weekly markets I’ve been trying have done pretty well so far.

While I do want to keep myself open, I’m thinking of keeping the two weekly ones as my mainstays as long as we keep doing well. I think the regularity will help in building a good rapport with the customers there.
August Markets!!!
Here’s where you’ll find my pop-up this month...

Unfortunately the market I had originally booked for the 17th was cancelled. I was given a credit for a market in October, but that left that date open, which I’m hoping to fill with Melrose Trading Post, assuming I can get a spot.

It took a few attempts but I figured out how to make a mini mushroom. 🍄

Since I started doing my @darylsdoodles.bsky.social vendor shop more regularly— pretty much every weekend now — most of my free time is spent making stuff and getting for markets. That also means that I’ve been doing a lot of crocheting.

So here’s a photo dump of a bunch of stuff I crocheted. 🧶

Vendor market schedule for July is up! Hope to see you there, but remember to stay safe.
June was disappointing when it came to markets. Some got rescheduled with the goings on in LA and the ones that didn’t were slower than I had hoped, I assume for the same reason. Which, btw, fuck ICE. Let people be, you know? But we’re going into July with optimism. Here’s where you’ll find me…

In light of recent events occurring in DTLA, tomorrow’s market (June 8th) has been cancelled. Stay safe everyone!

Anyway, come out and support. Here’s where you’ll find us…

It’s me. I’m the gay. 😉
June Markets Announcement Post!!!

It is looking to be a busy busy month. We — as in me and the husband (aka My Unpaid Employee) — are testing the waters and doing a bunch of new markets, including a couple of Pride events! Yay! 🥳🌈

If you’re in the LA area, come out and support a couple of gays.

Remember how I made my friend those two “Mouse Ears” pillows? Well, she told me that her sister loved them so much that she stole the second one and wanted another in red, which lead to me making this. 😄

It’s shaping up to be a busy month. 😁
New market added for this month! Here’s an updated list. Hope to see you there. 😁

If you’re in the LA area, consider stopping by and checking out my vendor shop. I sell my pins, art prints, homemade stickers and postcards, copies of my books and even a few crochet items! It’s fun. 😄
Four months into doing markets and this is the first month I have organized in advance. Normally, I post the markets I’m doing like a day or two before, so this a huge step up for me. Success!!! Here are all the markets I’ll be participating in this month!

Setting up my art shop tomorrow! If you happen to be in the North Hollywood area, consider stopping by…

I’ll be selling my stock of homemade stickers and postcards, art prints, pins, buttons, a few copies of my self published books, and even a couple crochet items.

My friend, who’s about to have her first baby, mentioned she wanted to get a Mickey head pillow for her nursery. And since I’ve recently become obsessed with crocheting, I decided to make her some.

Been a while since I last promoted my books here. So, in case you missed it, I wrote these, I’m told they’re very good (and not just by the voices in my head), and you should check them out!
