My brain scrambled trying to make sense of how to be with family and loved ones this holiday season. Like many will probably come to conclude, plans are going to incorporate much more space than usual. We’re also dealing with more stress, anxiety, and general uncertainty [or at least that’s what every commercial is screaming at me] which has meant more therapeutic doodling on my end. So why not share the anxious love!
I’m super behind on almost every project, including coloring book publishing. Thankfully, it’s easier to order a bunch of prints and cards than it is to publish a book. Here are some of the options now available:
SENDING LOVE
First up, we’ve got the notecards that double as coloring pages! I was so excited to complete this initial concept, which will be expanded over the winter months [and however long quarantines and social distancing continue] so stay tuned. This card features scenes from nature ready for color to be added by either you before sending, or the recipient of your note. The cards and envelopes are made of 100% post-consumer recycled paper — yay!
FROM THE FLY TIERS DESK
Handsome gent, on call to send to your birding buds or fly tying muses
Here’s a familiar buddy from the Maine warblers and classic streamers series, now in notecard format with room to add your personal fly recipe, or give your fishing buddy shit from a distance. I’m so excited to get these handsome buggers out into the world besides in fine art print format! Same deal as the coloring notecards: 100% recycled post-consumer paper to make these cards and envelopes.
SALMO BANANA
The most magnificent fish, now in card format
And now, a sneak peek at a project still in the works that just can’t stay in hiding anymore — at least this guy can’t. Have you ever seen a fish so graceful, so elegant, so…yellow. Have a fishing buddy who won’t have bananas on his boat? Send him one anyway, with room for a personal note on the back. Bananas are great boat snacks.
Welp, that’s all I’ve got for the moment. This is all a glimpse into a much lighter side of work, and I hope it brightens your mailbox someday soon. Pre-order now and expect to get your packs in the mail before December [fingers crossed!] While you’re at it, buy out my remaining fine art prints so I can order new stuff.
