Smile...It's Friday!

Newsletter + On This Day

Dunno about you, but it’s been a BUSY week here at Collide Press. In the world too. For your consideration, a few things I found this week that put a smile on my face:

WALT WHITMAN BY THOMAS WILMER DEWING (1875) = Prints + T-Shirts

Decided to keep the intro short and sweet for a change. Please keep reading (and scrolling) for the good stuff.

Thanks for reading…and have a great weekend!

P.S. THANK YOU, DAVID, AND ALL WHO’VE BECOME A PAID PATRON!
