    uniE621 Cucushop.de
    The Curated Cucumber Club is a marketplace consisting of a trope of Berlin-based friends, makers, crafters and artists whom we have met and connected with from our own organically formed relationships and alignments. As makers and craftsmen, we aim to live and share in a more sustainable and respectful manner. The Cucumber Club does not feature pieces of excess nor mass production. We honor the ritual of sourcing imaginative, unique and high-quality gifts and adornments for you and your loved ones. Common marketplaces are overloaded, charge higher commission fees, and feature artists based solely on marketing ploys and purchased boosts. We rail against this methodology, instead choosing to believe in and encourage the magic of distributing curated handmade products directly from the artist’s hands into yours. In a time of mass industrialisation and waste, we choose to support the maker’s time, talents and treasures. We know there are others who believe in this too. Alongside the online marketplace and physical pop ups and parties, we will also offer workshops and courses with our artisans, to share their knowledge, techniques, and experiences. #webdesigner #illustrator #graphicdesigner #designer

    uniE621 Circle of Realms
    The story of a traveler who wants to get away from a degenerated society and can't quite figure out where to go. An adventurer in search of Love, beyond time. A naive character determined to travel to magical and unknown dimensions and realms, to travel wherever his imagination can reach. And the truth that haunts him is always chasing him. Sometimes faith is necessary to embark on a magical journey. The forces of the universe give a man of pure and naive faith a gift he could never have imagined. #illustrator
