Anyway, the point of this is that maybe you too would like to make some swag? Or some prints of your work? It’s fun! It’s clarifying! It’s fun to mail things and give them away!
Here’s a previous post on trying to find some clarity:
And some info about the Washington Island Literary Festival for those willing to cross Death’s Door!
Thanks for reading The Habit of Art by Kelcey Ervick, a Substack Featured Publication (twice!). I love writing and drawing these posts and am grateful to everyone who follows along. Some of you are new here, so, welcome! I’m a writer and professor in Indiana. If you like this newsletter, you might like my graphic memoir, The Keeper, which was featured in the New York Times Book Review’s Holiday Gift Guide and happens to be 40% off at the place that rhymes with Zam-a-zon. If you’re interested in making comics and visual stories, check out my edited craft book, The Field Guide to Graphic Literature. I have other books too! Thanks for your support!
Wow. I seldom travel far these days. Seventy-seven, healthy, happy, content, having fun right here with my short walks, good reads, making a few pieces of SWAG. But Kelcey fired me up. Past Death's Door, probably not. But I'll be there in spirit. Grinning a long with all of you.
Absolutely no clue that’s what swag meant!!! Mind blown. 🤣
