For the past seven months I have been hand-drawing the seed packet characters myself. This was always supposed to be temporary until I could pay an artist what they deserve to bring my visions to life. I will always cherish what these seed packets represented.

I never considered myself to be a skilled artist, but I wanted to bring charm to something that could make Groovy Root feel special. In trying, I got a very small (but humbling) window into what it means to put your art on a product. How fun, freeing and even terrifying it can be all at once. Creative entrepreneurship is not for the faint of heart.

This experience has made me even more passionate about my mission to always support real artists in a world that is accelerating towards artificial everything.

So, I am excited to share that as The Seed Club grows, the artwork is evolving too. Next month, you'll start seeing a new look that has been brought to life by an incredibly talented artist, Violetta. She is pouring so much joy into building this world with me.
