Hey,
I’ve been thinking, and I wanted to tell you something.
It’s beginning to wind down toward the end of the year, and I wanted to express my gratitude for everyone in here. I’m most proud of this community.. how far it’s grown, and how many lives you’ve brought into it by sharing these letters with your friends and family.
We had just 33,000 readers at the beginning of 2025.
We’ve now crossed 101,000.
That is the size of an entire stadium.
And you filled it.
I have some good, good news.
I’ve started my next piece.
I don’t know if I’ve ever been this excited to paint.
The concept hit me overnight.
I sketched it all out a few days ago.
I’ve been putting in hours each day working on it.
Let’s just say… you’re going to want “them” leading you into 2026.
Man, I’m excited to share what’s coming.
Also, here’s some more good news.
“The Wager” prints are now in production.
Hand-embellishing will start at the end of next week for my top collectors.
This weekend I’ll be with family, so if you don’t hear from me or see any posts, I’m on a small vacation.
See you guys next Friday,
Sam
P.S.
I’ve been getting back into making music again.
If you want to hear what I’ve been creating, check out my Instagram or Facebook. I posted a little of it there.
