❝I think of myself as an artist—admittedly a basic term that can mean almost anything. In a deep sense, I am my work—what you see on the page is really me.❞

—Stephen Gammell, born on this day, February 10, in 1943

“The letters tried to think of something important, really. Finally they knew what to say. What could be more important than peace? PEACE ON EARTH AND GOODWILL TOWARD ALL MENS, they spelled excitedly.”

Wishing everyone peace and goodwill in 2024. Happy New Year!
