There is SOOOOO much good stuff in Link Love this week, I don’t know where to begin. I say, click on every single link. Just do it. Work can wait. Dinner can wait. There are wonderful ink reviews, a great little intro piece on Art Journals, (oooo!) Jean Fick’s Notebook is amazing… everything Austin Kleon writes is inspiring (you really should just subscribe to his newsletter). Love mail? Consider reading about Informed Delivery. There’s even some tech talk and the antithesis of that: How to switch from digital to paper planning. We have something for everyone!
