Hello, September!

9/2/2020

It's hard to pick a favorite season, but Fall is definitely in my top 2. It has the best holidays and I love getting out my sweaters and boots. But I'm not here to talk about my wardrobe. 
I'm here to talk about making art, shop updates, and weird dreams. 
I know everyone has been having weird dreams, but the upcoming Presidential election has really thrown the weirdness into overdrive. Last night I was explaining to a young woman why being a feminist is so important, and why the number one problem for women around the world is poverty. Which is true--way to go dream-brain for relying on facts. And while I don't know how to convince people that they should care about others, I do know that value informs how I vote. 
And why I think it is so important to vote in every election--not just the big ones. It's so important that I spend time researching the candidates on the ballot (do you know who's running for Board of Directors at your community college? Because you should).  I was looking around for a shirt that says "VOTE" to wear and I couldn't find one I liked. In true DIY fashion, I decided to design one myself. And then I fell down the rabbit hole of fonts and wound up designing 4 different options. All of which are available at my Society6 shop.

I really liked the shape of the E on this one.

This one is why I shouldn't do line work after 3 cups of coffee. Everything wobbles....

I think this one is my favorite. I like the balance of the white inside the letters against the color outside. 

Do you have a favorite?
