The Art is in The Bag with Timbuk2 Artist Originals.
It offers a number of Artists a chance to use Messenger Bags as their…Canvas…These original creations are also a way to raise funds for local charities close to the heart and home of the creators. 
Two ‘Artist Originals’ events already took place.
First one was in Portland, Oregon, on June 7 and second at the Timbuk2 store in San Francisco on June 21st with Thorina Rose (her bear of a hug bag pictured here).
Of the Portland Event I especially liked ‘the bridge over troubled water’ Bag Number 1 by Michelle Ramin.
