incinders's Shop Announcement

This one-of-a-kind art created by Incinders, an artist living in my neighborhood of Golden Hill, overlooking downtown San Diego. Incinders creates amazing bookmark-sized art and sells them on the streets of Golden Hill to passers-by. She creates her art on found scraps of cardboard, packaging and paper. Using paint, markers and pens, Incinders style is whimsical and expressive, belying her harsh reality of living on and off the street.

Since moving to Golden Hill in Fall '08, I would buy Incinders bookmark-sized art whenever I saw her on the street. Her story, only part of which I've heard, is one of heart-break and recovering addiction. But it's also a story of hope.

Inspired by her upbeat attitude and use of her talent to try and generate an income, I decided to help her out and sell some of her work here on Etsy. Her art is about the perfect size for a bookmark. Think about it... an original, one-of-a-kind piece of art you can enjoy every time you open the pages of your latest read. Or maybe you could frame it, or stick up on the fridge. It makes a great gift (with a good story to match). If you buy one of Incinders works, know that you've helped a struggling street artist, and matched some of your goodness with her sense of hope.

100% of your purchase goes directly to Incinders. Thanks for stopping and looking.
