ALT Mossfrog Press was a passion project shoved into a survival job’s role when sh*t hit the fan in 2020. Much as I tried to study and understand “The Grindset”, I could not ultimately find a rhythm as a small business that didn’t drain the creative life force out of me. So, when current inventory sells out, we’ll be shutting down *the shop* for the foreseeable future.
ALT We have a 30% off sale running all June. I can assure that all proceeds will go towards helping this thembo pay their rent. I’ll have more to say on Mossfrog’s next steps in the near future. Until then, I want to thank everyone who has enjoyed and supported my work thus far. This project was the seed of self-expression I needed to grow into the person I am today, and was only possible with the support of loved ones who saw something in me when I couldn't.
ALT I have tons of unreleased art, research, and notes I would love to share someday! (when this turns back into a hobby) While I feel I’ve sacrificed my momentum as a brand, I can honestly say I’ve refilled my creative sponge after years of burnout, and I can only hope that is what will matter when all is said and done. Until then, I hope my lil’ worms‘ lil’ smiles have brought smiles to your faces, and I hope what comes next will too. Love, Brooke

ALT A photo showing a circular iron-on embroidered patch designed by me, featuring North American native insects and California poppies. The patch is a light blue and has black text that reads “support native pollinators” curving above the insects. The insects shown on the patch are a white-lined sphinx moth, small blue butterflies, a monarch butterfly, hoverflies, and small squash bees.
