I am currently:
Really into this mural painted by Ariel Lee.
Listening to Rain Country by John Swanke.
Coveting these pocket notebooks from Big I Design.
Liking these “humble phantoms” carved from wood.
Nodding along to this definition of the night feeling h/t Jack Cheng.
Glass Window by Brett Allen Johnson

“What I love about pencils is the balance they strike: you can geek out on materials, production, or mark-making, and yet some of the best pencils being made will only run you a dollar or two. So you don’t have to sweat lending one out or losing one.”
“Dystopia is easy. You take what people are afraid of and tell them it’s right outside their door. The cure is to open the door and see the truth for yourself. What’s on the other side of the door is your neighbors, and some of them brought donuts.”
“There’s nothing at all wrong with honing in, developing your craft, making variations of things you’re good at, and getting better each time. Nothing small about it. Nothing unfulfilling about it.”
“There seems to be a certain essence in us that we must allow to guide us through life. If we defy this compass, we can end up in places we don’t belong. But if we trust it, follow it, we might do something as grand as fulfilling our purpose.”
