I recently read Lena Dunham’s new memoir and now I’m watching 𝘎𝘪𝘳𝘭𝘴 all the way through for the first time. So this just felt correct.

(Original hand lettering on a found photograph, soon to be custom matted for framing.)

Oh hey, do you love slightly nonsensical food- and drink-related wordplay? I have the Valentine cards for you. 🍻🍴

These are in the online shop and at @designarchives.ws in Winston-Salem!

A long-overdue refresh of the Em Dash website has begun! Step one was an updated About page and photo, neither of which had really changed since 2018. 😅

Next up, I’ll be inventorying my work and photographing new things to list online that have until now only been available locally at Design Archives.

My list-making brain is so excited about this process! Stay tuned for further updates… by @emdashpaperco

Oh hi, nice to see all of you again!

This weekend: working on a new design while playing a spooky one-shot D&D campaign with some of my besties.

Look for this as a new sticker soon soon SOON.

A couple of new designs are being made into stickers as we speak! I’m especially excited about this one, which will be glittery!

✨Hell yeah.✨

Oh hi! I haven’t been here in quite a while.

But I went to a local art market today, and seeing other people’s work always inspires me to get back to my own, no matter how long it’s been. So when I got home, I picked up my tablet and sketched out something a friend recently requested.

✨I hope all of you are well✨

Look what arrived yesterday from the printer! Perfect timing, because as always, I personally needed to hear this. Thanks, UPS guy. 💛

Now available in the shop, or at @designarchivesvintage on 4th Street if you’re in Winston-Salem!

Illustrator did something demonic while I was working on my new “you’re doing great” design and I accidentally ended up with a perfect visual representation of my mental state during the last year and a half. 😂

(For real though: the actual digital version is finished now and headed to the printer to become stickers! I can’t wait to see these in person.)

Do you feel like this bizarre letter scramble too? If so, let me remind and reassure you: YOU’RE DOING GREAT. You’re not alone.

A rough draft of a new idea from my sketchbook today. Who else (constantly) needs to hear this? 🙋🏻‍♀️

Sure enough, we battled a lost shipment from UPS, a stretch of life being extra busy, and our own distaste for photographing products and editing photos, but we finally got here!

These new stickers are now available in the shop, or at @designarchivesvintage if you're local.

I've already heard that there needs to be a "make me tea" version. What do you think? Any other proclamations you'd like to see on a sticker? Let me know. ☺️
