V. Notes are daily–ish thoughts and ideas related to art.
I might post a series of pictures, a technique, an idea for a project, or some philosophical rambling. I try to make these emails relevant, but they’re not pre-planned, and they’re not perfect. They’re just thoughts in the moment, take ’em or leave ’em. Hopefully they’ll spark some thoughts and help get your artistic juices flowing.
Initially started as a way to give my students more information outside of class, V. Notes now has over 2,500 subscribers. If you meet another artist with connections to the League, V. Notes might be a way to spark an interesting conversation.
