I lichen these stickers

I was lucky enough to create these lichen illustrations for stickers that coincide with the release of Tanner Barnharst’s new book: Minnesota Lichen Guide – Basic Identification for Common Lichens in Minnesota. I’ve attended several of Tanner’s classes on mycology and getting to work with him was a real treat. Congratulations on the release!
