TOTE

Tote bag and print

Just finished up a tote bag for Open Space Gallery in Beacon NY. The text reads "Save our city from urban tumbleweeds."

The show opened up on April 12th showcasing over 100 artist's totes. All proceeds benefit the Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, a New York based organization committed to environmental advocacy and education. See all the artists involved, the totes they created, and details here. I was really sick and in Portland when I had to get this finished. Thanks Rob, Les, Chris, and Annelise for helping out with cars, screening/dyeing equipment, and a couple late nights.
