Pipsticks + Cosmic Medium Collab
I couldnโt be more excited to introduce you to our amazing February Kids Club collaborator, Laura Coleman! Sheโs a brilliant illustrator based in Washington D.C. whose designs are bright, bold, and just had to be turned into stickers!
Lauraโs the woman behind the brand Cosmic Medium. She describes her work as
โconveying the uniqueness, vibrance and magic of the black experience across all mediums from prints to pins and everything in between.โ
Lauraโs penned three books includingย Color My Style and will soon be launching a new collaboration called Black Creative Girlย (sign up to be the first to hear when it goes live!).
