  • work until you die

    Recently I had the pleasure of collaborating with Sean Thompson using his linocut art. When I saw his work I knew we had a shared ideology and this design would make a great mug. The test pieces came out pretty good and I am looking forward to putting these into production! I really love discovering…

  • Nice Assets Academy closing for winter (maybe forever?)

    Thanks everybody who booked in for a lesson, course, or workshop in the last 6 months.
