Alphabetical Aviary

Our head designer and illustrator has spent the last few months preparing for an exclusive gallery show being displayed at The Void Gallery in Saskatoon. The show runs from February 15th until March 2 and features the mixed media illustrations of  North America's natural born aviators.

If you want to see Shauna in person and chat about her wonderful illustrations, letterpress or just receive a patented Shauna Buck wiggle hug, make sure to drop by the Void on February 22nd from 3-5pm for the official reception.

In the meantime here's a glimpse of some of our favorite pieces now on display!

Posters

This time of the year is always a busy one at the studio. One of the many projects that our designer collaborates on is the semiannual poster design for the Flock and Gather Handmade Market. You can check out some of Shauna's previous poster designs here on the Flock and Gather blog. It's unbelievable that the talented folks at Walden Sweets continue the tradition of meticulously hand screen printing each  F&G poster for each sale. Wayne and Dana, the duo behind Walden Sweets, are truly talented screen printers and they are the ones that really bring the designs to life!!
Can't wait to see what the Flock and Gather group has in store for the upcoming spring handmade market!!

Super Strong Magnets

In our backyard we make magnets. Not just any magnets, but super strong magnets that feature original illustrations. And each one is hand pressed with parts hand fabricated right in our own studio.
Some people have asked us, "How strong are your super strong magnets?" To answers this common question, we made a really quick and dirty video.
