My hands hurt a little from the past few hours. Why does production always take longer than you think it will? At first, the monotony of repetitive movements is soothing. But around hour three, it starts to suck a little bit.

I’m in the process of putting labels on the Everything is OK Action Kits. These were featured in a window display on Market street for Art in Storefronts not too long ago, and I’m replacing sun-faded labels. When I’m done, these kits will replenish the supply at the San Francisco Museum of Craft and Design. Get ‘em while they’re hot, yo.

So today is a tedious day. But Tim said I could take a stab at designing the boxes for the Word’s Greatest Mug. I’m looking forward to tomorrow.
