Our Print Shop's latest Reading is Reinvention collaboration is with Mexikid and MexiKid Dreams author and illustrator Pedro Martín!

As a kid he would lie on his stomach on the bed, hang my head over, and I would read comics until his head hurt.

“So then I started drawing that character of myself," Martín said. "And I started kind of drawing the things that I read. It was Flash Gordon, Mexican cowboy guys, sword and sorcery things, pirates, all that stuff was super exciting.”

These limited edition prints are available online at rabbitholekc.org/shop and in-store at Lucky Rabbit Books.
