did you know there are a bunch of local mini print vending machines where you can get a handmade piece of original art for 50 cents or a buck? it's true! i chatted with the artists about what makes these machines so fun and why more of them are popping up:

Planning the 20th anniversary party will likely trim 5 years off my life, but several wins today feel like a reward. I locked in the beverage service. I found out 2 super special guests are flying in for it. Secured 2 more artists for the exhibition. Just gotta keep on going. Hope you show up :)
