I&#8217;m slowly but surely making my way back in my inbox). I&#8217;ve been trying to do a lot of reading &#038; thinking &#038; just sitting still.. Gotta stay balanced, stay in the now, keep it fresh for new ideas, keep believing, etc.. Plus keep up with work stuff at the same time. I&#8217;ll be restocking all of my retailers in the coming week or so &#8212; I&#8217;m printing up a whole new batch of cards &#038; prints this week. Also finishing up a few commissions inspired by previous works that I&#8217;ve sold. My &#8220;Shelter Each Other&#8221; design will be coming out soon as part of a series of tote bags in Germany\/ Europe through Bizarr Verlag, who also licensed my works for a series of postcards. More info on that when I&#8217;ve got it (I&#8217;ll have some for sale too).
