Even though 2017 isn’t over it’s not too early to reflect on this last year. I participated in many group shows, had my first Mpls solo show at @moderntimescafempls, went to @chicagozinefest and @shortrunseattle, and finally followed my long time dream of making larger prints and tote bags. I still have sales coming up this week at @moderntimescafempls and @moduslocus before 2017 is over, but I’m looking forward to being a bit more introspective, researching, experimenting, working on new projects, and announcing some collaborations in the works. #2017bestnine
