Hey all! I'm moving all my stuff to a new place in 10 days (fortunately, just a few miles away but still, AHHHHH!) so that means: moving sale! www.meghunt.com/shop If you use code BOXY til Jun 22 at midnight ET, you'll get 20% off everything in the shop. I'll be closing shop for a few weeks after!

I finally got myself together to build out a Faire shop-- so if you know any retailers who might like my stuff, I'll be adding more that way. This summer I'll be making more products for sure, so I will be updating this along with my webshop meghuntillustration.faire.com

Excited to share my dandelion dad hat— my first embroidered merch! I’ll be selling these at Sunny Day Art Market May 10, but also releasing a limited number online (in charcoal) this Friday 4/3 at 11am ET. I’ll also set up a preorder in black! And if you prefer, a patch is coming soon :)

This was a dream gig I didn't even know I had on my list: gift wrap! Worked with the amazing folks at Parliament in Portland to make some special owl-themed wrap for their favorite people.

For 2026 I am committed to more messy mixed media times even though I have no idea where it’s going… this was a fun mix of tempera paint sticks, colored pencils, brush markers and panpastels.
