#105 - “We Create, Therefore We Live.” Help us spread the word, Gishers! Make a breathtaking “We Create, Therefore We Live” sign that epitomizes GISH to you. You may create our catchphrase out of anything you like (or a combination of materials): calligraphy, paint, candy, collaged magazines, books, buttons, recyclables, skywriting… You get the idea. Schedule or post it at exactly 8 PM PDT on social media and tag #GISH, #BookBash, & @mishacollins. Then, submit the original image to us and share/retweet/amplify as many other teams' submissions across all of social media as you can, too. Make it trend, weirdos!

#66 - As I may have mentioned, I just released my first-ever audio book (available for pre-order now), but there are plenty of pPublic domain books that still need to be read.

#63 - Megan Padalecki’s books feature animals trying to find their way in the world. Draw a page of our new GISHCORP children’s book, "My Place in the World," featuring a cute animal from the IUCN Redlist trying to make its way despite the threat of extinction.
