NEW IN OUR SHOP! Previews of both new stickers are visible over the text. The PWU logo typewriter is overlaid faintly in the background.Sticker: "We will have to try to...stay on track (scary music)." 

Scary music sticker. There's nothing scarier than a lack of focus. (Cue Jaws theme.) 3" permanent vinyl.

This is most acute in creative fields, but the cult of “entrepreneurship” is everywhere. Not everyone can be an entrepreneur! That shouldn’t be a baseline requirement for survival. You can’t restructure the entire economy that way. People just want to get paid for doing a job they know how to do.

Spent a lot of time as myself lately. #art #illustration #selfportrait
An experimental digital portrait of a person with shoulder length hair wearing cozy clothes. They’re leaning against a pile of brightly colored boxes and appear to be considering something. At the bottom, text reads “SPENT A LOT OF TIME AS MYSELF LATELY.”

Sometimes I wonder if our many years of jokes about writers hating writing and doing anything but writing, etc, have convinced people that the writing part is the hurdle and the goal is just to have a thing in hand. But I am here to tell you: the writing is the best part. The act is the thing.
