A little change

Hello, friends! This email is from Julian Plum, but you’ll notice that I’m writing from a new domain, showing up a little differently in your inbox.

It’s been a wild summer, and I'm a little under the waves of work, trying to swim through it all, but I’ve been meaning to do this for a while. Substack, where this newsletter used to live, just keeps platforming the very same people trying to strip away my right to exist in this country, and frankly, I don’t want to share a space with them or support Substack at all.

What does this mean for you? Not much! You’ll keep getting sporadic update emails from me about shows, markets, and more. If you want even more behind-the-scenes work, as well as a special discount code, a free secret sticker every year, and stuff like that, you can hop right over to my shiny new Patreon!

Other than that, I have some exciting stuff coming up in October that I’ll write a proper newsletter about soon (keep your eyes peeled, artists!!) and thank you for bearing with me through this chaos and noise. You all mean the world to me.

You just read issue #9 of Work of Art. You can also browse the full archives of this newsletter.
