By OHM Staff
One of our sponsors, DeWayne Lumpkin, wants your support for his Kickstarter! He’s selling Vintage British Transit Route Sign Fabric, which he describes as “upcycled vintage route signs from England into wall art, pillows, upholstery & clothing. Now I’m ready to print route sign fabric!” It’s a great way to invest in a uniquely Oregon project and backers get pretty cool products in return (from a mouse pad to an oversized wall hanging). It’s definitely worth a look!
