We're rebranding, with a new logo and business cards from @whitefoxdesigns.net! They were super easy to work with and I highly recommend them for your next design project. Stickers, business cards, and a new website design to follow soon!

I've made a mistake but realized it in time for Pride Month! I never tagged this sticker as a sticker, so it wasnt showing up on my Stickers page 😩 which explains why they were only selling in person. You can get your own in time for pride here: darkerhorse.art/products/pro... #queerart #pride

Tried my hand at a real #linocut linoleum block. My hands were sore after, but the detail is great. I think I will stick to speedycarve for most cuts 😅 Still getting the hand of sharpening my tools.
