Ya'll Aren't Going To Like This.

Hey everyone,
I don’t usually shine a light on the negative, but this one I couldn’t let slide

Yup, that’s a real email I got recently.

First off, let’s clear one thing up: We all know who the real judge is

Hint: starts with “G” and ends with “D”

So if you're out here casting judgment like you’re Simon Cowell on America’s Got Talent…

Art is supposed to make you think, challenge you, and maybe even make you uncomfortable. That’s part of the beauty of it.

but what we don’t do here is breed intolerance.

Art is not for everyone, especially mine.

This space—our space—is about Creativity, Courage, and Conviction. No exceptions.

If you’re ready to part ways, the unsubscribe button’s at the bottom. No hard feelings—I get it.

Now while we’re on the subject of negativity... here are some other nasty comments I’ve gotten on my paintings.

It’s wild, but I want to share them to remind you that we’re building a community against intolerance and for creative freedom.

Alrighty, now let’s swicth this up.

In my last newsletter, I gave you a task—to sign up for the Google Calendar event for my Christmas Print Drop. (PRAYER +more will be added soon)

Well, turns out… I didn’t realize there was a capacity limit. 😬 It filled up in 20 minutes.

Shoutout to everyone who managed to get in and grab a reminder spot—well played.

As for the rest of you who couldn’t get in (because, wow a limit Google.. we are 30,000 strong here) I’ve come up with an easier, better, newer, cooler option.

Here’s the plan: I’ll send you a text.
Yep, a simple text

to remind you right before the drop.

If you’re down to get a text from me before the drop, pick an option below.

Next newsletter, I’ll set it up so you can easily share your number and i can text you.

And finally—

my painting Refuge had to be pushed back until next Friday, but trust me…..actually i dont want to say anything else about it. Just wait.

So we will have a a painting reveal and collect everyones number that wants a text reminder before the drop. _{(skip over this, it’s just a note to myself because i can’t remebre things}🚨₎

Big day next Friday.

See you then,

Sam
