Hello friends and collectors,

I've been especially busy in the lead up to Lazy Daze - my first really big art market which is this weekend in Cary! Please come see me in booth C303 for new work and a visit to the Tiny Art Department:

I'll have free stickers and bookmarks for email subscribers! Check out more Lazy Daze info and the festival guide (IG).

Tiny Observations August reveal

This month, subscribers will travel to Santorini with this 5x7 art print of "Santorini Passages (Emboreio)" and a tiny linoprint of a church bell tower from Oia Santorini:

My grandfather is from Emboreio, and I love wandering the twisty passages each time I visit and observing how the doors and flora change over time.

The prints plus a letter with a prompt to pause and observe the world around you is all for $10 per month and ships worldwide ($1-2). You can pause or cancel anytime.

If you'd like a bit of joy in your mailbox 📬 each month, subscribe now! The August club cut off is Monday the 31st so don't delay!

For those of you who joined in early August, this will be your first volume! You may get charged for your second volume before receiving the first, but don't worry as fulfillment is done separately for each monthly order.

New Figures zine - exclusive to email subscribers until Saturday

I created these 20 limited-edition handmade fine art zines in my Durham studio to highlight my ink figure drawing work. Each 16-page zine is printed on premium photo matte paper, hand-folded and assembled, and then signed and numbered.

To see all the images and get a better idea of the look, check out the video on the listing or on Instagram.

I'm holding at least 5 to sell at Lazy Daze so you can check them out in-person!
