January 27, 2010 - Introducing DEVON URQUHART
For those of you who've been following us from the beginning, you know htat our unofficial band mascot is a beautiful little locust lovingly known as "Loki." Lately, a lot of people have been asking where Loki came from and I'm completely embarrassed that this information has not appeared on our site before now. Loki was drawn for us by Devon Urquhart, an amazing Seattle based artist whose current primary medium is jewelry. Devon's work is available online at etsy.com.
