IT'S A RE-INTRODUCTION

“None of us is in this game alone. With each project I begin, I’m reminded of the importance of listening, of appreciating and taking advantage of all the creative, dynamic, and wonderfully bizarre people in my life. And like any good listener, I know it’s my duty to share this wealth of influence with others. Whether it’s my family, my friends, a novel I’ve read a hundred times over, or my favorite painting. I’m really just the sum of many different parts. Ultimately, that’s what this book blog is about. I’ve been inspired, surprised, supported, and yes, influenced by every person I’ve talked to/mentioned in this book blog. Their stories, Bodies of work and lives are like open vaults of creativity. Whenever life feels like a dreary place, these individuals know how to make the most out of any situation. I turn to the people on these pages, in one way or another to keep me afloat.”
