Hello!
The Offhours Newsletter is about the creative experience outside of full time gigs, deadlines and self imposed schedules.
With so much noise out there — this is a space to share thoughts on design, art and living life while being a creative human.
Here I explore ideas, creative processes, delve into inspiration and share as much as I can from my experience and what’s fueling my practice.
Expect to read about design, art, books, collage, zines, lettering, printmaking, industry news and other endeavors that peak interest or are involved with a creative practice.
Clock In for Notes on:
The Practice: Drawings, collages, design projects and exploration
Tips & Tools: Techniques, experience, resources
Studio Jams: Tunes playing in the studio, playlists
Linky Links: Inspiration, paintings, artist talks, studio visits
Obsessions: Zines, books, magazines, posters, prints
Some Favs to Get You Started:
🔎 “Ideas Are Currency” On human ingenuity being prime capital.
🔎 “This is Fine” Fighting for your intellectual property.
🔎 “The Noise” On how I started my substack journey.
