The Story

Sandy is the family bus from 1971. We love her, and sometimes that leads to artwork like this.

Made 46 years later in 2017, this first deck of Sandy was custom glued and cut to a wide shape (to get all of the design on there). I mean, she can hold 9 souls, so we needed to think bigger, which is why this deck is one of our largest.

While I had to fight against my brain’s attraction to accuracy, the details certainly give this design a whimsical character.
