A very overdue update
Brief studio updates and holigay markets!
Apologies for the lack of updates on my substack! Lately I’m focusing more on in person events and navigating the never ending chaos and craziness of the universal right wing takeover (or so it feels that way.)
I have been vending at several markets and fairs in Pittsburgh and beyond! Having in person connection with friends, fans, and strangers is keeping my chin up. It’s easy to fall into doomscrolling isolation (as I’m very guilty of). In person events and connecting with community reminds me that we are all in this together.
In the studio I am deep in preparing for holigay market season. A lot of this includes printing new versions of old works. This week I wrapped up the second edition of OYSTERS, this time the line work is blue.
Since my last post I also have focused on creating smaller works that are affordable and accessible. I translated my PEONY screenprint into a polaroid sized CMYK print.
I also have a new line of stickers! It’s a collection of old and new images.
I also recently helped my buddy Max, the mastermind behind Kinder Being Cafe, screenprint tote bags for Kinder Being’s one year anniversary party coming up on Saturday, Oct 4 (tomorrow!)
Note: I am available for hire to support and assist with your screenprinting projects! Please reach out to me via e-mail and we can talk about if it’s a good fit.
Mark your calendars!
I will be vending at Handmade Arcade Holiday Market on Dec 5-6, at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center here in Pittsburgh.
I will also be vending at Crafts and Drafts at East End Brewing on Saturday, December 13 from noon-4pm. More info soon!
Thanks for supporting my work as always! It means the world to me and keeps me going. More updates soon.
