New Artist Alert!
Fisk & Fern is a little paper and household goods business out of Austin Texas, owned and operated by illustrator and printmaker Laura Fisk. Her products feature funny little creatures & nature drawings which she then hand screenprints on a range of paper and household goods. There’s always some brightness, happiness, or silliness in whatever she’s making, and hopes to make people chuckle and smile. Growing up, she always wanted to make cards and be a cartoonist, and finally found her way back to doing just that.
Her work has been featured on Daily Candy LA, The LA times home and style blog, Nymag.com, indiefixx, PaperCrave, and Oh so beautiful paper, among other wonderful publications (Go Laura!)

I started Trick Pony Studio over two years ago in Kansas City. Then the economy happened and my focus shifted from making t-shirts to making rent. In late 2011, I decided it was time for change and headed home. I’m now back in Texas (Thank God) & working tirelessly to build the Trick Pony Brand… “

We have flasks, stationary, nail files, makeup satchels and more adorned with snarky phrases we almost feel ashamed to laugh at.
