"To The Few" Limited Edition Prints

Available for pre-order now!

Hi Friends,

If you told me ten years ago, when I first picked up a camera, that my first print available for purchase would be poetry, I would’ve laughed until I cried. But life has a funny way of making room for our gifts, for cracking our carefully crafted plans into a million tiny pieces and binding together something more beautiful than we could ever imagine.

I wrote “To The Few” at the beginning of the year when I needed it the most. Over the last few months, I’ve worked with the amazing artisans at Coeur Noir in Brooklyn, NY to breathe new life into the poem in letterpress form.

It’s a true beauty, ya’ll.
The US edition is limited to a run of 500.
Available for pre-order now!

"To The Few"

I HOPE...
you realize the problem is, you think you have time.
you learn to discipline your disappointment.
you greet triumph and tribulation with the same smile.
you create more than you consume.
you create more than you criticize.
you create more than you compare.

I HOPE...
you edit your life ruthlessly and frequently.
you forgive yourself ruthlessly and frequently.
you realize that what you are will never happen again.
you make the shit you wanna make whether people like it or not.
you pub your shit harder than anyone else’s.
you work harder on yourself than you do on your job.
you sew without expectation and reap without complaint.
you realize that patience is an active process.
you realize love is an active process.

I HOPE…
you learn that habit beats inspiration.
you realize four walls can’t hold you.
you give your grief the respect it deserves.
you realize you are never alone in how you are feeling.
you realize you’re full of wounds and still standing.

I HOPE…
you understand it’s been done before but not by you.
you don’t compromise your vision.
you learn to surrender to your dreams.
you don’t leave the arena to the fools.
you know that you and your work and your voice are needed, now
more than ever.
