Whoa, thank you for the mention Talia! I am but a speck of dust on this rapidly expanding platform, and frankly feeling less visible by the day. It's so nice to be seen 🥲. You produce a quality product here, and deserve all the expansion you get 👊🏻

Thanks B.A.! I think you were the first artist I found on Substack, and even as this platform becomes more crowded you’re still one of my favorites! I can probably credit some of your newsletters and comments with inspiring me to take my newsletter more seriously. Not to mention … you read my newsletter when literally no one else did lol. I really appreciate that. Here’s to being seen!

Haha, yes, it does seem that we somehow became connected way back in the olden times... I do recall seemingly being one of the only people reading your newsletter (or at least, one of the few people "liking" it). But that is clearly no longer the case! Which is great, because you write a fine newsletter.

ALSO. I should mention that I would love to support Art Life Balance by becoming a paid subscriber, but I am beyond tapped out with the newsletters I pay for now. Goddamn!

Thank you! Despite knowing I’m subjecting myself to many battles with my printer, I’m really looking forward to it! And thanks for blazing a trail here — I’m not sure I would have thought of doing prints as a subscriber perk if I didn’t come across your newsletter.
