While I was in Concord a few weeks ago for the art opening at Teetotaller, we made it a point to stop by CoLab and pop in on Queerlective before the show. I could sing the praises of a secondhand crafts and art supply store forever (and will!! DIY Craft and Thrift!! 46 N Main St, Concord, NH!!), but I was really stopping to check out the Queerlective space and the artists booths, and a linocut caught my eye that made me realize I’d never made this post–!
The linocut was by Coyotesnout, a New Hampshire-based queer artist that I recently recieved a large order from!! I meant to post day off, but things got a little crazy, so here I am now.
I bought some stickers, some pins, and some prints. The stickers are water-proof, and quite at home on my water bottle (a 64 oz. which I carry with me daily), the prints are beautiful and on heavy duty glossy cardstock, and the pins are gorgeous and robust — I wore “Live Queer or Die” to the Queerlective opening, forgot to take it off, and promptly ran it throught the laundry, from which is emerged, unscathed.
Seriously seriously seriously — I very much recommend this shop.
In art news, there are two zine apps I’m putting in for, a show I’m awaiting acceptance for, another show for which I’m awaiting submissions opening, and I’m currently in limbo about a possible commission from Planned Parenthood, haha. After a slow start to 2025, everything seems to be picking up all at once.
Hope you and yours are fairing as well as mine and ours.
Take care of yourselves, and each other.
