I am really taking the collective energy around re-prioritizing once energy and pouring back into art as well as handling business! Love the visuals— you have a really good eye for composition when it comes to photography. As far as it goes for Andre 3000, I must say “prototype!”Love that song, the guitar, the vibe. And the melancholy of it. I’m really excited about your letter work. that part about boldness in every character, it shows in your work that philosophy shows in the world. It’s inspiring to also live this way too, and love out loud boldly through self expression. thank you again for picking up the Zine!

I take a lot of pics of my work and use them as my iPhone screen savers. Haven't done it yet with my laptop but images are pretty cool to see on a cellphone and smartwatch.

So, do I have to seek permission, or is this free to use, because I respect the work of others, and I don't just take it to serve my needs - Shain

Well if the work is on the internet, people will assume that someone will save images of their work. I don't see any harm in saving an image of someone's work for personal use as long as you're not trying to claim it as your own or resell it.

When I post pics of artist's work, I always give credit to where it's due. In this post, you'll see that I captioned his name with a hyperlink to his website.

Braxton and I haven't met each other personally yet but we connected on Threads a few years and I saw his work in a gallery in Chicago last year.

Can't wait to see what you do with the license plates. There's way too many great Outkast songs but ATLiens is up there. Cooler than a polar bear's toenails is beyonnddddddd

Also, I loved this article and I look forward to reading more great pieces of wisdom that defies common stereotypical beliefs about our environments - of course we need to work on our healing - but it’s also not going to happen in the exact place the awful things occurred.
