I love what you're doing and striving for here, Brian. Who knew art could echo?

I read “Promises” when you first posted it. Found it intensely wonderful then and still do. Nice to see you fleshing out your original collaboration into another branch of your ‘stack. You’ll have a tree soon-Good work, Brian!

This is really great, Brian. Lovely to read the backstory on the sketch, and to hear more of the exchange project. "Community" is an apt choice to kick things off with. Looking forward to it.

Hi Brian, I like how you interpreted Elle’s prompts and used them to elevate your creative process. Looking forward to the collaboration.

Beautiful insights into your poem, enjoyed the thoughts that went into it.

Thanks Claudia! The last few weeks I haven’t been able to give too much attention to Elle’s ideas but once I get through this busy work season, I’m going to go back and work through them.
