Morphik Contest!!




Win your very own Miso custom bracelet!! And here is how:
 
 Morphik’s Expression Through Art Contest continues with a chance to win your own custom bracelet showcasing artwork by our featured artist Miso.  Residing in Los Angeles, CA, Miso is known her “miso creatures,” which allow her to indulge in a fascination with ecocatastrophe, biology, and the science of evolution.  Miso’s creatures started off as curious and cute and have since progressed to a more anatomical study of their insides.  Think bones, muscles, tendons.  So just tell us which of Miso’s artworks and accompanying band expresses the most about you for a chance to win.  Send your thoughts to contest@morphik.com.

Good Luck Everyone!!
