Hi everyone,

It’s been a while and if you follow me on social media, you might know that amongst all the stressors that the general state of the world is throwing around, my mom passed away not too long ago. As it is for a lot of queer folks, shit was complicated, but even towards the end she always enjoyed hearing about what was going on with my job or my creative projects. Thank you to everyone who has been patient with me as I juggled the approximately ten thousand things I didn’t expect when I first planned for a bunch of things, including this project, and extra love and thank yous to my production hero Carrie for picking up some of the pieces when I didn’t have the capacity for it

The hoodies have arrived at their Aspenhearted studio. I'm happy to report that the hoodies are comfortably lightweight and super soft. They've all been screenprinted by TSM Shop, an amazing local Black-owned business who worked with us on samples and did a beautiful job on getting the multi-ink artwork PERFECT even on the very thinnest lines on the design.

The only piece that is continuing to be tricky is the hats. The last samples I got with an alternate color styling on the brim still weren’t quite what I was looking for, so we’re on the next round with those. To prevent any further delays, we’ll begin shipping out any orders that didn’t include a hat. If you did order a hat and don’t want to wait, please let me know and I’ll personally cover the shipping cost to split your order to get you the rest of your items now with the hat to follow.

Again, thanks to everyone for being patient! I fully expected to have this one done and delivered before our little art collective launched the National Parks Oracle Deck that I helped produce, but the world is unpredictable. Please know that I appreciate every single one of you for your support and can't wait to see you start receiving your rewards!
