Made my first Van Dyke Brown prints !
First one of the dead tosses is over exposed but I kind of like it anyway. Second one is much better. I’m definitely going to be doing more of this.

I am extremely honored to have been included in the collective for the first time. The work in here is fantastic and the price for the zine is a bargain.
The money goes to a very good cause as well so it’s a win win!

So what’s stopping you? 😀

Support local businesses online or even better in person. I can imagine a world without book shops to browse in.
Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.
