I had the pleasure of meeting Jessie Oleson of Cakespy, who was in town from Seattle, at the Renegade Craft Fair on June 14th, right before our picnic. We talked about her character Cuppie, her prolificness, and which piece is most popular. I had previously interviewed her via email. Just as I stepped over, two women approached and said that Jessie was the reason they'd attended the craft fair (me too!). I wound up buying an adorable little Diet Coke and Cuppie drawing, much like the one below (via Flickr), forgoing the one of a subway stop near me for another time.
I gave Jessie a mini peanut butter and chocolate cupcake from Kumquat Cupcakery and then asked her some questions about her art. More photos in my Flickr set. Watch here:
