As promised in the Paper Session N° 1 post, the BCR and BPC teamed up a second time. On August 18th, we gathered to create paper for the Hellbound II Art Edition boxes. Once again we were joined by BPC founding member, Zoe Culbertson, and for the first time, director, Melinda Cross. Bear with us for this brief PSA:
