Hello Everyone

As we creep into the Holiday season just days away towards Halloween
(Batoroo is itching to be released)
Peace And Love Rally is getting ready

First and foremost we want to say sorry that the website has been slow
We are going through a new layout setting
So in the next few weeks you should be able to see something exciting and new!

What are you going to see?

Well right now we have tons of prints
They have been making their way into people's homes
Where our fans have become excited so much to come back for more
T-shirts, stickers.. perhaps they will find the new coloring book at the flee market!

Yes ladies and gentlemen
The first coloring book is out!

On Kindle for now but soon for old school paper
But you can print the book off kindle :)
If you want the coloring book send Chesco a message

Next is greeting cards?
Yup out of popular demand we have started to print greeting cards
Right now it's all about Roblusky
And Capofe
But the other kids are itching for a chance at their hand at greeting cards

Next week Peace And Love Rally
Will be at the Pasadena Flee Market in room V109
Check us out there.

Last but not least..
Few things in the works..

Roblusky decided he wanted tell his story
So there is a coloring book on the way featuring Roblusky

What else?

Toys!
And maybe some animation...

Yup

Brand new creatures are being designed as we speak
And as things progress we will fill you in on it

The animation is being worked out

The Impact Of This Work

Today I had an art portfolio class
I brought the kids out to show everyone
It was powerful to learn the impact of the work I am channeling

When I draw, I feel like they are just flowing through
And with time they start to come together
Never thought of myself as an artist
But as I grow confidence in the work I am channeling
I grow confidence that I am a great channel

Here are some of the comments that brought joy to my heart about the work

"Containing a Philosophy"

"Conceptually Based"

"Complexity and Simplicity"

"Acceptance, each one has its own quirk"

"Evokes the eccentricity of people yet manages to build a unity among them"

"Playful without being cute"

"Ethnic components"

"For a fine art market"

"Connections within connections"

"Elaborate detail"

"Cultural penetrations"

"Revives Critical Thinking"

"Challenges the way we see things"

"It speaks to our human experience"

"Thought provoking"

It was a great experience for me to sit there and get the feedback from people
See how much they really really enjoy the work
Learned a great deal

May 20th 8:00 am to 2:00 pm maybe later..
Pasadena Student Art Flee Market..

Social Responsibility

Dear PALR Lovers

A few days ago we went to the ISS SHOW (Imprinted Sportswear Shows)
We went through and picked up a few catalogs to find a shirt line that we feel comfortable with
Particularly our biggest concern is how their workers are treated
Because of our contributions to non profits around the world
We wanted to devote our inclusion of helping to create jobs in the USA

Sadly out of the hundreds of companies we saw
Only less than a handful of their clothing is made in the USA
US Blanks
American Apparel
And Royal Apparel
Right now out of everyone we talked to we decided that the strongest contender
Is US Blanks

The other attribute that we wanted to consider
Is their representation of races in their catalogs
Again sadly most of the catalogs are lacking in equal race representation
There was even one company that speaks of being social responsible
Yet when we look through their catalogs
Their incorporation of various races as models is lacking

Will our cost be higher because of us choosing to go with companies that produce in the US
Perhaps
What we try to do, is to work out a fair price for both our customers and those who buy wholesale
At the end of the day what might end up happening
Is that we ourselves as producers might have to take a cut from the industry standard
And trust that our generosity and desire for fair work ethics will elevate our sales

Just wanted to keep you posted on the production aspect

In the mean time,
we are working on printing a handful of shirts
And also on art prints and stickers for our fans
Particularly one special fan named Henry
Henry took a strong liking to a particular design and his mother asked us to make prints for him
So the first printing will be called
"The Henry Edition" of that particular printing
It comes out Super Bowl Sunday
Selling at PCC (Pasadena City College) Graphic Department Open House
Starting at 9 AM till 1:30 PM
Come check us out

Peace And Love
