This newsletter will start off a little bit differently than usual today. Some of you may have already seen this on social media over the past couple of days, and some of you have even donated already (thank you!!).

I recently did something I never expected to do and entered my illustration series "Places I Have Lived" into ArtPrize this year. The eleven framed illustrations will be displayed at Harmony Brewing Company for the duration of the exhibition! For a variety of reasons, I'm genuinely excited to have been connected with this venue.

However, the illustrations are not printed or framed yet (the image below is just a mockup I made for my entry), and the cost of eleven high quality custom frames will end up being quite expensive (my initial goal for this fundraiser is just a portion of the projected cost!). If you feel so inclined, you can donate at gofundme.com/f/hromi-artprize.

Every donation helps, and I appreciate your support so much. If you're not into fundraisers, consider a purchase instead at studiohromi.com/shop (including a few different custom artwork options!), share my GoFundMe link with your own networks, or simply vote for my piece during ArtPrize.

Now that that's out of the way... on to the rest of the newsletter.

I won't be writing another book review for the AMI newsletter until at least August, so this month instead of suggested books I've included a list of various interesting links I've collected recently, from the informative to the useful to the somewhat silly. 

Speaking of teeth...

This newsletter is relatively new, so I'm digging back into the archives to feature this project from nearly three years ago: a set of simple illustrations depicting various fixed oral appliances, illustrated for Black Tulip Management, Inc.

I have a few markets lined up next month in Grand Rapids. Visit studiohromi.com/events for details. You can also shop online at studiohromi.com/shop and while supplies last at the following locations in Grand Rapids: Grand Rapids Public Museum Curiosity Shop, Scorpion Hearts Club, and Zabház.

As always, Instagram is the best way to keep up with all of my goings-on and behind-the-scenes goodies, but you can follow me on any of the platforms below or my newly launched TikTok account, and keep up with my blog on Tumblr.
