About Travis Jonker
Such a fantastic round-up. Kudos to both you and Carter. Well done! However, I believe The Darkest Hour should read: The Darkest Dark.
Thanks for that catch, Miranda! I updated things.
BEST. IDEA. EVER!!! Love this so much! So many great undercover designs here!!! Thank you, Travis and Carter! This is a design-lovers feast for the eyes!
Hey Travis, Hey Carter, love these…of course!
I am jetlagged from attending NCTE, and live in Shanghai, so you are messing with my mind a bit…
BUT
I don’t think next Monday is the 26th…right? mmmmm Right?
