Super excited that @iceatlanta asked me to design their swag bag for this years Salvage Show. It's this Sunday and the 1st 100 people get a FREE bag stuffed with giveaways from the vendors. While I won't be there, there will be a ton of awesome vendors. I'll be at the their summer show in a couple months. Hope you make it to both shows. http://belligerentmonkey.blogspot.com/2016/04/ice-salvage-2016-swag-bag-design.html #newart #belligerentmonkey #indiecraftexperience #ICE #monsters #atlanta #ATL #atlart #yaarabtemple (at Yaarab Shrine)
