Email to inquire and I’ll send you a little list of fundraisers we’re championing. If an organized charity is more your style, I’ll have a link to suggested options too.
For the book savvy, we’ll be learning the french link method.
Check out this little promo video I made! That’s one of my sketchbooks:
Hope to hear from you! Let’s sew a book!
Thanks to everyone who visited the Eastside Tattoo Convention and Sticky: the post-it show last weekend!
Can you believe that last weekend was the first time I’ve tattooed at an honest-to-goodness tattoo convention? It was! And the Baohaus crew did such a great job along with our excellent support team. It was so nice to see so many familiar faces!
I didn’t make it to Sticky (because of the tattoo convention) but thank you so much to everyone who went out to see it! And thanks to the venue and curator for framing my work so nice!
Postcard Club is in Solidarity with Postal Workers :)
A victory for workers anywhere is a victory for workers everywhere! Sure it’s not an ideal month to have postal workers on strike, but people are more important than profits, always! I rely on Canada Post for Postcard Club, their pricing and delivery is factored into the project and it couldn’t exist without all of the hardworking letter carriers and postal workers.
Postcard Club will be digital only until the strike ends, but the backlog of cards is being saved and will be mailed out when that’s possible.
This year of Postcard Club is about to wrap up! Puzzles are about to have every piece and each character is about to be revealed. As always you can check it out here!
Plus, the answer key and back of the above card is there ;)
