I Love Challah- My Newest Sticker!
My newest stickers just hit my Etsy shop!
If you're anything like me (and my carb-hungry kids), then you already know just how good Challah is. So why not let everyone know, by putting one on your laptop, water bottle, or forehead?
There are certain places whose challahs are perfection, while others don't even seem to be trying. Once you've weeded those out, what you have is delicious challah for french toast, sandwiches, avocado toast, or–my favorite–grilled in olive oil on a pan, and then lightly salted. You can eat it straight, or add a little jam or avocado at this point, but whatever you do, make sure you can still taste the challah!
See below for many of the other stickers I have available, and head over to my ETSY shop to buy a few.

Groundhog Day 2021
According to the Groundhog's prediction this morning, we should expect 6 more weeks of winter. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news!
As you may know, every year I create a Groundhog Day tribute, so here it is for 2021, a year which is so far only slightly better than 2020.

Toilet Paper Book Cover
In preparation for one of the classes (and in consideration of the Covid-19 pandemic currently in progress) I drew a TP Man who I liked enough that I wanted to finish the drawing. Well, once I got started I decided to turn the illustration into a book cover.
I hand lettered the title, and then like a high school student pulling a prank, I TPed the word "The".

Super Groundhog Bowl Sunday
This year, Super Bowl LIV falls on Groundhog Day! That's right, the biggest weather-related holiday of the year, has to share some of the spotlight with the biggest football game of the year. What are the chances??
Fear not, for I am prepared. To get everyone excited for the big day- and also for the football game- I cooked up a drawing to commemorate the mashup.
Tomorrow morning I'll be posting my 2020 Groundhog Day tribute, and I'd love to hear what you think!
Thanks for looking and sharing- I appreciate it!

Stickers for Your Business!
Once the designs were approved, I had them printed at about 4" x 4" (10cm x 10 cm). They were printed on vinyl and die cut because I find squares and circles boring ; )
Doesn't the die cutting make them look so much better?
I absolutely loved how they turned out, and my clients were very happy!
The designs were hand-lettered in Adobe Illustrator, and I even hand-drew the Camp Avoda logo so the whole piece would be matchy-matchy.
OH! And I printed the second one as a magnet, which came out great!

Speaking at RISD
This is a new presentation that we've been putting together for the last few months and we're incredibly excited to pass on our experience to the attendees.
Along with the sharing the writing for our talk with Justin, I've been illustrating and hand lettering images and phrases to help convey some of our messages, and because I'm excited about how they came out, I decided to print up stickers to give away on Saturday.
The event is open to the public, and full of helpful information for those starting out or needing a little help with their freelance careers.
You can register here: Art of Business Bootcamp

Cards for Kenya- A Mitzvah Project to support Health and Education in Kenya
Leo, with the help of his mother and me, has created a deck of playing cards illustrated by him to sell, with the net proceeds going to two places.
The Lewa Wildlife Conservancy Main Clinic
The Lewa Wildlife Conservancy is a non-profit organization that supports sustainable biodiversity and conservation in Lewa, Kenya. As part of their mission, they offer subsidized medical clinics that are the only source of healthcare for tens of thousands of Lewans. You can find out more about them at lewa.org/impact/communities/healthcare.
Proceeds from my Mitzvah Project will help fund medicines, medical equipment, and outreach efforts of the clinics, contributing to the health and wellness of the people of Lewa.
The Africa Foundation in Maasai Mara
The Africa Foundation is a non-profit organization that supports sustainable socio-economic development in local communities near conservation areas. The foundation worked with &Beyond, owners of Bateleur Camp where we stayed, to build a school in the nearby Maasai village. They are now working to open boarding facilities there, so children won’t have to travel long distances every day for their education. You can learn more about The Africa Foundation at africafoundation.org/projects/education.
Proceeds from my Mitzvah Project will help fund the village school, contributing to education and socio-economic development for the Maasai people.
If you would like to support Leo's project and purchase a deck of cards, or if you would like more information, please send an email to leosbarmitzvah (at) bernat.net or you can pick them up on ETSY.
