The whirlwind of this past weekend 2 events, 3 days, representing myself and 2 other organizations.
Thank you so much to @dane.arts for putting together such an amazing 2 day outdoor event. I met a ton of new people, new artists and familiar online faces I have never met in person. I sold a bunch of work, but more importantly connected over your stories about what my work means to you.
Thanks in particular to Mark Fraire, Augusta Brulla ,Justin Duris and all the DABL volunteers for creating this opportunity for individual artists.
Also helped spread the word about Northside Arts Collective ( not pictured) though Rhiannon Gurley had lots more conversations about that.
AND I spent some time in the @communicationmadison booth chatting with people, and informing people about @fwdtruth and to sign the petition to stand with the Triennial Artists. Highlight of my time at the Willy St Fair was watching teens pick up handfuls of condoms and educate me about the flavored ones ( stay away from strawberry )
Thanks for supporting artists, for buying local and for connecting Madison!

Sneak peek new small batch works
Sharing some very impromptu photos of a brand new collection I'll have for you at @dane.arts buy local next Friday and Saturday ( OMG a week out already?!)
Collection Queer by Nature includes accessories like reversible printed collars and ties, as well as earrings and pins made using scrap from cutting out other accessories. Zero waste baby!!
Everything made using sustainable materials. One side is printed using risograph printers which print with non toxic soy/ rice based ink and collars/ ties are hand painted/ drawn on the opposite side.
If you peeped my stories you may have seen this first photo of me sporting a removable printed collar yesterday
I couldn't resist printing a small edition of risograph prints and cards. Plus I even sourced eco friendly stickers 😎
Scroll various photos to get a tiny preview of eyeball pins hand printed/colored/ embellished on scrap paper leather( slide 2-3), one of the stickers I'll have ( slide 4) and all the info about the market ( slide 5)
Dane Arts Buy Local is going to be a blast and it's starting off Willy St Fair in style, plus it's close so you can head over to the Fair on Saturday. I can't wait to see your faces take in these curiosities. So stinking excited!
Stay tuned for more detailed previews and info about % I'm giving to mutual aid coming up next week.
