“Abandon all hope of fruition but do not fail to strive.”
– Willow Pearson
Happy Halloween, everyone! Not a lot to report just yet – except next month's gig at Arcosanti, the oasis of visionary architecture just north of Phoenix – but big things (new music, science fiction, essays, coloring book pages, and more) on the way. For now, here is some bite-sized news. It is my honor to do my part in the Great Work of using art to make this world a better place.
Enjoy, and thanks for reading!
love,
Michael
