Hi Friends!

Me and Alex Pardee have been wanting to create a collaboration piece of art/wearable magic for all of you for some time. Instead of me, Greg,  making half of a heart with my fingers and thumb, and then Alex making the other half of a heart with his fingers and thumb, and then us merging those same fingers and thumbs spoken of previously together into one beautiful heart.... we did this: Our VERY FIRST TRUE COLLABORATION t-shirt and print release!
