ssshhh! Don’t tell anyone! These are the test prints for the 2009 Hawker family Hoopfest shirts. I adore test printing, mostly because I like printing on “scrap” paper and hugely because I really love my subject.

We are leaving shortly for Spokane via New Orleans/Salt Lake City. Garth is doing the dishes [...]

hiya friends. Lots going on here. And even more will be happening shortly! First, what we’ve been up to:

Thanks for all of your votes over at Ohdeeoh. We were oh-so-close to being in the final round. I thought that I would post the pictures of Jack’s nursery for all ya’ll, along with the little interview that was posted over at Ohdeeoh.

And, the interview for Ohdeeoh.
