Fresh Shops: badhairmountain

Sometimes I find art on Etsy that really speaks to me, in some language or another.  It's possible Sean from badhairmountain, a Fresh Shop started in August 2008, found all my metalhead friends and drew their portraits.  There's also the possibility that he just lives in the coolest town ever where all the …

About Us: Matt Ford aka ProjectmattNYC

Etsy has had quite a growth spurt in the past year, and we have the awkward pictures to prove it. We are posting a series of About Us  series to help you get to know the Etsy admin (and since many of us work remotely, for the admin to get to know each other!). You've seen the admin badge, and maybe you're a bit curious about …
