Happy Merry Everything’ are about the cutest and most appropriate gift cards for everyone and any holiday. Lauren Pirie is a local Toronto artist (and sometimes Muttonhead model!) who makes sweet little drawings that make both children and adults nostalgic for her mythical imagery. Not only is Lauren a talented illustrator but she is also a do-gooder too! Basically she is the kinda girl you love to hate but is too beautiful and sweet to do so.

Lauren is one of the founders of The About Face Collective, and if you are a member of our Facebook Page you may remember some photo’s I posted from their stop-motion video in the making a couple of weeks ago. The About Face is a Toronto-based grassroots arts and environmental collective. They collaborate with and connect artists, environmentalists, entrepreneurs, organizations and community members seeking to work collectively and integrate approaches to urban sustainability.

WHEN: December 9th, 2011 The auction starts at 8pm-12pm.
