Ive always wanted to do a Kootenay Critters series of illustrated local wildlife restickable wall stickers for kids and with Amy just giving birth to her second boy we agreed that some fun animal characters would be a good subject.
So far Im thinking a wolverine, painted turtle, pileated woodpecker, a kokanee, black bear …
Any ideas are welcome!

I personally didnt know much about invasive species until I started working on a promotional campaign for CKIPC Invasive Species Week. I was a little embarrassed to learn that in my ignorance I almost ripped up some “Dreadable Edible” Japanese knotweed from the side of the road to transplant into into my garden – because I thought it was “beautiful”. The hidden reality about this invasive species is totally and scarily not pretty. In the UK, the slightest trace of Japanese knotweed on your property – even on your street – is a reason to be refused a mortgage. Underground, its roots – or rhizomes – can spread 7m horizontally and compromise the structure of buildings. Even a fingernail-sized fragment is enough to grow into a whole new plant. I did not know that.
But! it is edible like a selection of invasive species that Rel-ish Bistro in Nelson is serving up for dinner this week. Forbidden Delights. Here is a sneak peek at their menu: promotional banner, ads, menus, rack cards and facebook page designed & illustrated by Pinkdog Designs:
