Take a break from being depressed that everything you love is being destroyed by slop for a moment and let me tell you about the beautiful symbiotic relationship between graffiti writers, train yard workers, and model train enthusiasts.

I think this little guy is done… but it’s a wood panel so I gotta decide what to do with the edges. Thinking either rainbow gradient OR b/w checks because I always imagine high-bpm ska when I see them flying

Would you pay for a hand-printed bookmark? Or is that more of a freebie bonus item? I got some sleeve samples in case that makes them more legit 🤔
Two bookmarks, one in red ink on brown paper depicting wild strawberries, and one in dark green ink on white paper with a moth and Queen of the Night flowers.
