On the road again

At Undiscovered SF

Was attending a balaykreative.com workshop on Planning events with purpose led by the Gina Mariko and this photo popped up in the presentation from a few years ago at undiscoveredsf.com. This was a banner I created as a punch in the mouth to illicit conversations. The convo is where the value is at and leads to sales. In 2023, I’m planning on a new banner but I don’t know if Dead is still the “right” message. While the usage has certainly grown, it’s still not mainstream. Pro Tip: As a traveling artist, I need something foldable so I printed the banner on a towel.
