Stupid Sloth Cards
Drawing
I am Stupid Sloth Cards, and I make hand drawn cards featuring animals wearing clothes and frequently (almost always) cursing. I also make small framed drawings, watercolors, prints, stickers, magnets and other items featuring the same wacky characters. My style is, well, awkwardly cartoony? Simple and untrained? I guess you can just call it, stupid sloth style, with the emphasis on stupid.

Ceramics
Founded by Petra Pankow in Maplewood, NJ in the fall of 2021, bloom ceramics grew out a desire for objects and experiences that are tangible, tactile, and textured - sources of comfort and enchantment. Inspired by the lopsided forms of the natural world, all ceramic objects in bloom’s collection are made by hand, slowly and mindfully, each unique, with the intention of adding a little poetry to everyday rituals – a cup of tea, a lit candle, a flower brought in from outside to be temporarily housed in a vessel that came itself from the earth. -
