    Announcing CREATIVE JOURNEYS
    Hello everyone, this is a short housekeeping update episode. I wanted to point your attention to a new podcast project I've started.

    Recently, I’ve been looking back at a collaborative project with John Becker of WROT Studio.

Bonner was sixty years my senior, quiet, spent most of his time putzing in his rose …
