Poketo + 826LA Collaboration – When Wallets Eat Words from Poketo on Vimeo.

Celebrating the work of artists and students alike, Poketo teamed up with 826LA to create a special series of artist wallets. 826LA held a writing workshop entitled When Wallets Eat Words, led by screenwriter James Ponsoldt where 826LA students crafted short stories to line the inside of Poketo’s artist wallets. Each wallet was then illustrated with a Poketo artists’ interpretations of the stories.  The artists chosen to illustrate the stories include Tim Biskup, Esther Pearl Watson, Mark Todd, Martha Rich, John Pham, Rama Hughes, Christine Castro, Leah Chun, Chris Bettig, and Keith Knueven.

There are still wallets available. Buy them here or here. Proceeds support 826LA programming.
