if you're locked inside for days you better make something

save the desert tortoise zine... coming soon

e&a product : the Winter Wonderland design

it's finally that time again. winter. that time of year we bundle up, buy gifts, and celebrate with those closest around us. and inspired from this Massachusetts winter (the only one i really know) came two little carved stamps, and three blank cards.

each card is individually stamped, so no two are entirely identical. and in the case of the two blue cards- the white embellishment is done by hand with a white pen. the process is actually quick, allowing me to sell them for only a dollar each. however with the hand made love that goes into each one, it makes it worth so much more to the recipient than the price tag.

e&a product : SAVE THE LAST BUFFALO ZINE!

it's finally here! I will be posting items throughout the next couple days, but first to be re-released is the save the last buffalo zine.

buffalo use to roam the gorgeous plains of the united states unbridled and untamed. now, tragically, we have lost the majority of the wild and TRUE buffalo in the last two hundred years and are down to under 4,000.

what about those buffalo farms? don't we have enough buffalo to keep producing buffalo meat? The buffalo you get from the store isn't the same as the purebred buffalo roaming around Yellowstone. they are hybred cattle-buffalo and don't have the bloodline or the natural instinct to migrate like the quickly disappearing 3,900 true buffalo.

each zine includes 2011 statistics on the buffalo and why they are in danger from the Buffalo Field Campaign, illustrated by myself. each cover is individually hand written and stamped with my own personal hand carved stamps. and to make things even better TWO DOLLARS from every zine sold is donated to the Buffalo Field Campaign! so not only are you being educated on this little known issue, but your money is going to support the Buffalo as well.

so whats a zine? it is a form of self published work (usually by photocopier) that is reproduced in small editions, and can include original and appropriated work. topics of zines can vary from political issues, to abstract thoughts. to read more, i'll link you to the zine wikipedia page.

enjoy, and keep an eye out for the next empty and amazing release!
