About this section
I talk a lot about intentional ways of finding inspiration outside of the Internet on this newsletter, and one of my favorite tools to get inspired is meeting interesting people that I admire, and listening closely as they teach me new things about their craft. I love asking questions, I love learning about the experiences that make someone who they are today, and why they make their art. In this new section, I want to invite all these talented people to sit down at my table, and share their world with all of you.
Sobremesa will be a series of conversations released once or twice a month. The first issue is already out!
