SquidCat Thinks — What's New

This year, I wanted to challenge myself to branch out into new venues for sharing my art in the world beyond product creation, and I've been lucky enough to hit two goals in one month! I’ve always thought that one of the benchmarks of artistic success is to be invited to paint a mural, so when I saw an opportunity pop up at 934 gallery I decided to apply! I was so excited to hear that I was one of several artists who got picked to paint murals for their building.. The spot I got is called the “Garden Door”...

Since I first started SquidCat, Ink, it has been very important to me that it be an environmentally friendly brand. So from the get go I searched for paper and envelopes that were made of 100% recycled paper, and the protective clear sleeves I use to protect my products are compostable. 

Recently, I realized that somewhere I could improve was my packaging. I send most things via USPS, so I had been shipping in their free mail boxes. But, I'm wasn't sure whether or not these boxes were the most environmentally friendly option, so I went on a search to reinvent my packaging, and wanted to share my results below!
