Not right now, of course, but some day.
Until then, she hopes that you spend your days laughing and loving what you do.

The Story:

When I was a kid, I watched my grandfather make hundreds of small items with his hands, over months and years, with no real concern for what he would do with the end result. At the time, I was fascinated by his ability to keep to the task when no one had asked him to. Embarking on my own journey into making, I have learned that his making was a way to cope with the stress of his life. As an adult, I find myself doing the same thing.
 
Hi! I'm TinaTwo years ago, a major book store chain asked me to start making thousands of zombie themed items at a time for them. I had only made dozens by this point. So I had to make a decision. Did I go to a company in China and get these items made or would I buy the machines and start cranking them out myself, by hand, the way I saw my grandfather do it? I choose by hand and in the past 2 years have delivered over 40,000 zombie themed magnets and bookmarks. My days are long, but I know that I made the right choice.
 

I live and make stuff in Washington, DC.
I like to talk and drink peach soda. Above all, I intend to present the absurd.

 

My Friends :

I work with illustrator and designer friends to bring my ideas to life. I couldn't do this without the inspiration of these dudes. We spend hours on Skype, sometimes transatlantically, designing new products. From time to time I make faces to show them what zombies should look like.
