Holy Bananas
While I was out on holiday typestaches went naners! And with the SF Renegade Craft Fair, the poster got into the hands of many typestache loving folk. I wish I could have been there say thanks to all who purchased one. So if you have purchased one or blogged about the poster thank you so much.
