Hats
Description: A fun Malayalee saying! In Malayalam (and for many other South Indian languages), "aiyo" (pronounced eye-yo) is used in the same way as "OMG!" But as an Indian-American artist who also taught teenagers, I also recognize that ay-yo is a common middle schooler word, and I'm totally fine with that too! This is a handlettered/hand-drawn piece.
Description: An elegant way to declare your love of banned books. The calligraphy style writing adds a touch of class to your otherwise rebellious thoughts. This design was inspired by a pack of local librarians who were criticized by the community for promoting diverse books. Fight the power! Read banned books!
