826LA x When Wallets Eat Words

Two of my favorite groups have gotten together for a seriously awesome collaboration that takes words off the page and puts them into pockets. For the When Wallets Eat Words workshop, McSweeney’s 826LA arm got its young, aspiring writers to imagine short tales for the inside of Poketo’s wallets in their own scrawl. Those stories provided the inspiration for seven lucky big-name artists you already know and adore (like Tim Biskup, Christine Castro and John Pham). Poketo’s website features interviews with each artist about their collaboration, and the even sweeter photos of the proud authors posing with their wallet. I can’t see a better way to spend my $20. All proceeds go to fund 826LA’s writing programs.
