This one inch (25mm) button badge series is a collaboration between the MFA in Illustration Practice program (MFA ILP) at the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in Baltimore, MD, USA, and Stereohype. Artworks were created as part of a Made & Sold book-inspired workshop by FL@33 and Stereohype co-founder Tomi Vollauschek that took place at the college in March 2013. The black and white MICA Button Badge Series includes artworks by Alexandra Citrin, Diyou Wu, Eduardo Corral, Joshua Heinsz, Kevin Valente, Lisk Feng, Lynn Chen, Maily Degnan, Sarah Jacoby, Seo Kim, Stacey Montebello and Valeria Molinari. Stereohype sells MICA Series badges separately and gives them away as a free surprise badge with selected Stereohype T-shirts. Released: July 2013
