ishknits asked: Hey,
I just wanted to say thank you for your comments about the NYTimes article about yarnbombing. I have been really turned off to the audacity of Olek's comments about yarnbombing.

Postcard Graffiti Facebook Page →
Just started a facebook page, mainly so I can talk about installations anonymously instead of under my personal profile. I need 25 fans to be “real” so you should like me! Also, see my new site here: postcardgraffiti.tumblr.com.
