I write a letter a few times a year, when there is something worth telling. What is on the desk right now. How a piece went from first sketch to finished print. And first word when new prints, originals, or commission slots open up.
Subscribers hear about small runs before anyone else. Most of my prints exist in editions of forty or fewer, and an original only ever exists once, so first word matters more than it sounds like it should.
No noise between letters, no sharing your address, and unsubscribing is one click. If a season goes quiet, that usually means something is being made slowly.
