YOU are a superstar! I know that because I know how much you mean to me. If you weren’t there to read my blogs, I wouldn’t be writing them. I am your biggest fan, and I just want to say thank you.

You probably know that I love hearing from you and answering your questions, and I also love receiving new ones. You know me—I have an insatiable curiosity. Write to me! Tell me what you’d like to know: about what I do, what I create, what I write, and what I offer for sale. I’d love to hear your thoughts about how I can better serve you and which items you’d like to see featured in my shop. The sky’s the limit: What do you dream about that I should make? What art would you like to commission? How can I enhance your shopping experience in my online store?
Recently a woman from Michigan emailed me to inquire about my Globe t-shirts, which have been out of production for, well, five years. But I will now reintroduce them to my shop because I know there’s a demand for them. In fact, she said she needed not just one, but one for every member of the family: her husband, five- and three-year-old children, a onesie for the baby, and an extra for her husband’s friend!

I also have a friend here in France who has been asking for a Globe t-shirt for over a year because her daughter, who lives in London, pilfered it for herself. I’ve made other sales in London, so I was pleased to know that at least two of my tees would be floating around that city. Perhaps they’ll bump into each other on the street - wouldn’t that be fun?
I hope you’ll leave a comment below and let me know what comes to mind. Talk to me!
I promise - I write back to all emails and comments personally.

After a long winter, spring will come I am now sure. Do you know someone with a spring or summer birthday? A new baby about to enter the world? A wedding that will finally take place once the Covid restrictions are lifted? A graduating senior? With Mother’s Day less than a month away, do you need a gift for your mother, grandmother, or other important women in your life? If you’re looking to make any special occasion more special, may I suggest original art or a scrumptious baby silkie?
Cuddly baby gifts, a luxurious silk scarf for mom, a colorful painting to brighten your wall, or a print to give as a gift of friendship—all are available here. Congratulating a new grad with a gift of original art to accompany them in their new stage of life sounds like a perfect gift to me!
I miss seeing you; I miss interacting with my friends, but your smiling face is on my mind all the time. I’m creating new objects of art for you each week; please let me know what you’d especially like to see in the queue. Let’s do this together!
Thank you for your continued support and friendship.
Take care,
-René
P.S. As a coffee aficionado, I find myself musing on how much the sales of coffee machines and coffee paraphernalia in France must have skyrocketed as a result of the cafés being closed for so long during the pandemic. Stopping by the café for a quick shot of espresso on the way to work is practically a national sport. I have to wonder how the French are coping with this situation!
