Moe's first few days of summer.

Way better then Superman, or even Batman...

Its Super Moe!!! Ready to save the art of Letter Writing. Get this note card here, and write a cool saying like:

"Let me save your day, and buy you a drink."
"See your not the only dork in a cape"
"A hero for my hero!"

who is that in that bunny costume?

Defibrillating the letter.

Here is one of my new note cards: great for all of your spring messages. Like:

"I'm sorry to rain on your parade, but I totaled the new car. Sorry."

"April showers bring May flowers, and spring babies!"

"Happy spring. This was the sweetest religiously neutral card I could find, because it is important to stay P.C."

The letter is dying.

While going through the remnants of a not so long ago childhood, I happened upon a box of letters, you know, the hand-written kind. Love notes from my first boyfriend, long epithets from my best friend, containing her laments of being a post-pubescent teenager in an arts high school. But no one writes letters anymore, just emails and text messages. And while the invention of the email has been a godsend to people like me with appalling handwriting (Gabriel Garcia Marques talks about this in Living to tell the Tale) I still miss the hand written note. Text messages are often short and hurried, and emails often feel so impersonal. So I've decided to come up with more note cards for my etsy shop. And who knows, maybe I will single handily bring the handwritten letter back.

What are we fighting for?

Big Mother-flippin Plans

I started my etsy store, I got the wallets and the earrings going, I got my silkscreens turned into ACEO's and I'm working on some more greeting cards. But its not enough, I need more. I got some ipod cozies in the works, and some shrink art jewelry. In one years time, I wanna be a house hold etsy name. I want a sale a day. And dammit, I'm gonna do it.

newbie love.

My new favorite thing on Etsy:. katie by nightwigglers.

Good Ole St. Nick, I mean St. Valentine

Can you smell it? The smell of loOOove wafting through the air? Can you? CAN YOU? Thats right kiddies, its almost Valentines Day. Don't get me wrong, I love love. My shop is called w/luv!!! so I obviously have no problem with love (although you will not find to0 many hearts in my shop, well maybe you will, but they are cool unemotional manly hearts). Valentines day has never been the it holiday for me though. I'm more of a Christmas or Halloween kinda girl. Yes I wanted to strangle all the popular kids who got tons of candy grams in JHS and HS and I never got any even though I knew I was an artist and therefore way to cool to be considered popular cause popularity dosen't matter when your a budding artistic genius. But I digress. Now that I am older (and in a relationship) I look froward to a quite night with my bf, nothing fancy, just dinner and sex. Cause thats what valentines day means right? Dinner, and sex. Right? No? O.k. Valentines day means love. And dinner. And sex.
