THand-drawn greeting cards and apparel — art made to put smiles on people's faces.
A specimen is not a product. It is a record of a moment in which a particular kind of attention was paid — to the paper's grain, to the plate's bite, to the humidity in the room that afternoon. It is what you are buying. The piece is only the evidence.
Each edition is numbered by hand and archived against a ledger that outlives the shop. When you acquire one, you are added to the same book.
