something to look forward to

Having “something to look forward to” in your life is, as they say, an important part of being happy and/or not-depressed. What if this email could be a small fun thing that shows up in your inbox unannounced and reminds you that things are relatively OK?

Expect a blend of realistic encouragement and backhanded optimism as I share a mix of creative dispatches – art and words, digital and analog – from my work and life.

If this sounds corny, it’s because being alive is actually very corny. I will do my best to avoid the saccharine but forgive me if my earnest enthusiasm sneaks through. Life is hard enough without also pretending to be too cool to give a shit!!!!
