Things Are What You Make of Them
Life Advice for Creatives

It's kind of amazing the wisdom and inspiration Adam is able to deliver when he takes marker to paper. 

In a world increasingly full of cynics and naysayers, Adam has created an upbeat rallying cry for creators of all stripes.  

Expanding on a series of essays, his hand-lettered type and hearfelt attitude offer empathy and wisdom from one working artist to others. 

The book is literally a take-what-you-want-from-it afair; each page is perforated so you can tear-and-share each page that really speaks to you.

Size: 4.25" x 6.375"
