I have already fallen in love with the adorable works of Aijung Kim (who doesn't love ice cream?!) and Phil Barbato (who doesn't love cuddly animals with great background stories and mustaches?!) and I can't wait to see what else is being produced in Richmond.

Here's a link to some examples of the adorable crafts of Karen DeBonis. Her cards, which combine paper, thread, watercolor, and ink, will also be offered at this year's Bizarre Market at Chop Suey.
