• An illustrated guide to science-backed mood boosters.
• A zine about reclaiming your life from digital technology.
• A tool for searching independent websites.
• A collection of the “best” marketing headlines on the internet.
• Over the Garden Wall’s 10th anniversary stop motion short.
• Max Vogel Gonzalez’s illustrations.
• An experiment with giving out potatoes to trick or treaters.
• A concept to break procrastination.
• Some objects I covet: Nike C1TY “Surplus” shoes, El Oso Bear Tee, the Kobo Clara Colour, and the book Assembling Tomorrow.
