Origami With SPF
This bold little burst of origami sunshine is our tribute to the current heat wave, which has officially turned “going outside” into an extreme sport.
Did you know? Origami originated in Japan in the 6th century, back when paper was so precious it was mostly used for religious rituals and royal ceremonies. Fast forward a few centuries and now we’re folding suns in a heatwave just to stay sane.
Why a sun? Because it’s everywhere right now—on our faces, in our thoughts, and apparently... in our art. Plus, paper doesn’t sweat.
Stay cool, friends. Or at least fold something that looks like it is.

Quiet Spiral
This one is funny for about two seconds, and then it starts feeling a little personal. A lone figure sits in an open field, back turned, posture calm, while their head has become a frantic ball of scribbled pencil lines—part storm cloud, part doodle, part “nothing to worry about” from someone clearly worrying about everything. Next to them, on a plain wooden table, sits a single red apple, doing its best despite being hilariously underqualified.
Available as a museum-quality print.
