My first sticker book was thrifted from a local bazaar. I dared not finish it in a day because I loved it so much! 25 years from here I am designing books and creating my own stickers. That being said, have I stopped thrifting? Absolutely not. It's a difficult hobby, I mean a habit, to let go of. Thrifting to me is like illustrating an imaginary world with all kinds of weird and amazing things which I keep cataloging in my mind, super unique, plus sometimes you end up getting a great deal. So keep thrifting and let your mind run wild while you're at it!
