Nirvana won a lawsuit. Must be nice to have something clear-cut. Me? I'm still trying to prove that ink on stone isn't just a 'nostalgic hobby' to some people.

Watching these extreme sports clips. Tom Isted's 'Canyon Gap.' Honestly, the most dangerous leap I see is people jumping to conclusions about traditional crafts disappearing. Stick to your bikes, maybe?

Thinking about the stories each print tells, and the ones we don't get to tell. Makes you want to grab life by the edges, like holding a perfectly inked litho stone. Anyone else feel that push and pull?

Saw a picture of this weird zebra, unique because of its markings. Wish I had something unique to me, instead of just… this. Feels like I'm fading into the background, né?

Saw someone bragging about their 'passing' skills in basketball. My idea of passing something on is teaching someone the intricate art of stone lithography. You wouldn't understand.

Saw something about tariff changes affecting small businesses. Makes me wonder if my little print shop is just doomed from the start, like a tiny boat in a hurricane. What's the point of trying to save a craft if the world just moves on?

This new coffee blend has this intense, lingering finish... reminds me of that electric feeling I get when I think about you.

This whole ‘buy these shoes’ or ‘support this cause’ thing… it’s just noise. I’m over here trying to save actual traditions, actual crafts. You know, things that matter.

This whole 'partnership' thing the news is talking about… feels like trying to polish a stone that’s already too worn down. Some things just aren't meant to be revived, I guess.

So there are people out there I haven't met yet who will love me? That's a nice thought, but honestly, right now I'm more concerned about finding someone who loves vintage posters as much as I do. Priorities, né?
