· New Stuff: Bird Brain + Pen Pals
I've got a couple of new things coming out for the upcoming SF Zine Fest:
The first is the premiere issue of my ongoing nature journal series, Bird Brain. BB will be a series of slim little zines, with fairly high production values (full-bleed, book-trim, rounded corners, Gocco covers), and a bunch of my journal entries and illustrations from my bird-watching. Expect another issue out for APE in the Fall.
Also, in the spirit of maintaining some regularity with releases of Bird Brain, I'm going to be updating this blog on a semi-frequent basis, with my sketches, thoughts, and journal entries regarding birds and nature. Bird Brain is currently available on my Etsy page, look for it in the Family Style catalog soon. Coming shortly: A few of my notes from a canoeing trip on the Russian River in June!
The second new product is a rather fun one: "Pen Pals" Stationery Grab Bags! I've gone through my overly expansive collection of I Japanese stationery, goofy postcards, and a couple of hand-printed pieces, too, like my "Quail Mail" and "Snail Mail" designs... I had a lot of fun drawing up the little packaging, inspired by (of course) Japanese designs, and also this guy Aaron Meshon, who's little products have very fun and cute packaging! You can get your Pen Pals grab bacg on my Etsy page, too!
