ps - I finished the Goldenrod Gouache Painting and it’s now available. Take a closer look here.
A few practical updates.
I’m still getting a handle on Substack and how to organize myself and my writing here. I’ve added a paid subscription option if you’d like to support this project and my art practice in general + get a few bonuses + my gratitude.
If you are craft-minded, I’m adding my top 10 craft leftovers patterns to the Craft Leftovers section for paid subscribers. You get access to the full archive of studio letters and essays.
If you want a deeper dive into my studio practice, I’m sharing paintings before I release them, what I’m currently reading, and more in the subscriber only chat. I just got it started, so give it a little time to get into a rhythm.

Until Next Time,
This podcast letter was written and recorded on October 1, 2024 as a voice memo during my lunch break. No edits were applied. The background noise is the hum of a freight train and the heater.
ps - if you enjoyed this and don't want to miss the next one, you can subscribe on Substack for free, catch it on apple podcasts, youtube podcasts, spotify and more.
