Box art!

Six USPS priority mail boxes stacked on a kitchen counter with drawstring artwork of shrimp, a crab, and a bowl, each labeled with playful names.

When possible, I hire a local artist to draw aquarium related art on the boxes that go out. I found that “fragile” and “live fish” stickers often led to boxes being damaged, delayed, or otherwise treated poorly. Since introducing some art to the boxes, I’ve noticed they seem to get treated with a little more care.

Since each box is so unique, I made sure to request the artist take pictures of some of the drawings so we could share them with the #isopodadgenda and friends community.

Please note that the these are original designs and cannot be used without permission of the artist Lillian Mackall.

A person with curly hair, glasses, and earrings is drawing or coloring at a wooden table with art supplies, snacks, and a water bottle around them.
