The Story
Made from vintage mailbag canvas, this one-of-a-kind piece brings a little attitude with it. The perfectly imperfect fabric—complete with wear, texture, and those original grommets—sets the stage for its bold, hand-applied message: “Go Jump in the Lake.”
Equal parts cheeky and charming.
About the artist
Austin-based artist Laurie Sobocinski has always loved fabrics and thrifting, and she brings that passion into her work by using as many upcycled textiles as possible. From wool suits to denim and corduroy jeans, she is always searching for new materials to repurpose. The canvas for her current pieces once served as US mailbags — carriers of countless letters in their past life. Today, they carry bold word art that expresses fun and meaningful phrases.
