Photos of my art/CDs I’ve sent to some “costumers” recently! The merch listing is only for the CD and hand printed card for $9.75, but I like to include extra goodies unique to each buyer. Usually a custom painting or drawing along with a handwritten note on a vintage postcard.

Music & CD are linked below!
