HINT MINTAUDREY KAWASAKI -

HOLIDAY SERIES


New release from Hint Mint’s limited edition artist series.

DECOR CRAFTPENGUIN SALT & PEPPER SHAKERS


Pass the salt takes a new meaning with these wind-up penguin salt and pepper shakers!


An illustrated pocket field guide that enables anyone to quickly identify psychotic, violent or mentally unstable bird species.


FOUND #8 reveals the entire spectrum of human emotion, one lost scrap of paper at a time, and introduces you to an indelible, irascible cast of real-life characters.


Heat-sensitive mug magically reveals the woods waking up when hot liquid is poured into it.


The look and simplicity of a paper cup but created with a writable chalkboard surface.


The Slingshot Collective is a radical activist group based out of Berkeley, CA.


A fully-apportioned variety of reading material ready to address virtually any imaginable taste.

Susie Ghahremani’s work is eye catching and quickly heart warming. Her painting style is smooth and echoes her life long interests in nature, animals, music and patterns. Ghahremani graduated from RISD in 2002 and continues her own business, “boygirlparty” in various forms including gift items, crafts and more.

This exhibition, Work and Non Work (the title borrowed from an album by Broadcast) “emphasizes the experimentation and play of my miniatures and drawings that I’ll be showing juxtaposed with the framed pieces.” Facebook event. More info.
