Behind the scenes stuff for you all! Started to do rough mock-up of our new box with our new wip artwork! Very excited where this is going even though a lot of this is a place holder! If you want to see the final box in our Kickstarter, click the link in our bio and click to get notified!

Like others, we're reeling from yesterday's proposed tariff hike. This will affect everyone, from designers to your FLGS. Many of the publishers you love are run by 1 or 2 people. Margins in the industry are paper-thin. Scores of great small businesses will be forced to close. It's devastating. -AM🌼
