Hey friends! My book Show Your Work! is making its way out in the world early — it’s on sale at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Powell’s, and in several local bookstores.

To get an idea of what the book is about, check out this post: “10 Ways To Share Your Creativity and Get Discovered.”

It’s a beautiful book and it lists for only $12, but you can get it way cheaper if you shop around. Get your copy here.

Oh, and if you would, consider reblogging this post and helping me spread the word! I’d really appreciate it.

This is good stuff - thanks Austin!

–Neat shoes; never seen ones like that before. Apparently Nike Studio Wraps.

–Keep seeing references to interval training and fast-twitch muscle training in various places, including this article.

–Some food info here too, including my beloved brown rice. :)
