Here's a poster I designed/illustrated for this year's Sappyfest in Sackville, New Brunswick. Lots of fun little critters getting sappy, making music, having fun! A variation of this will be available as a limited edition screen print as well at the festival.

A poster for a music festival called Sappyfest, in Sackville New Brunswick. The poster is framed by a wiggly yellow arch shape, with 3D lettering in an arc spelling SAPPYFEST at the top.

We attended XP Summit Toronto this week, not to promote anything (we’re still quietly working away on something new 🤗), but to connect with Canadian devs and creators who are making amazing things. What a joy to share stories with so many talented people! TY to everyone who took the time with us ❤️
