Hi Dylan,
I love (super love) your We Are So Good Together poster. I am sad (super sad) that it is sold out! I'm working on a new project and would like for y'all to consider doing an edition with me. You can read about it here.
Best,
Jen
A lot has happened since I wrote that email three years ago, but I couldn't think of a better time than right now to release today's 100% hand-made letterpress edition, We Are So Good Together by the multi-talented Dylan Fareed.
Obviously it's a suitable addition to our Valentine's Day Gift Guide, but its resonance right now has more to do with all the amazing people I have the good fortune to work with. When Sara and I were checking out the proof yesterday evening, I had the urge to take it out of her hands and tack it up on our wall. (Alas, since the walls of our temporary digs are Meetup red, it would've clashed horribly.)
Still, it seems the thing to be hanging over our heads. Our growing team is uber-creative and talented — the fresh perspectives of our newest members have reinforced how unique, amazing and engaged our hard-working peeps are. And I couldn't be happier for us all to be working together.
This pinch-me-I-must-be-dreaming feeling of good-togetherness extends beyond team JBP itself. I am similarly knocked out by the people and organizations in our growing and interconnected universe: the artists we work with, our investors, advisors and various champions who are as excited as we are about this Art for Everyone idea of ours. Plus, there are lots of other great little companies with big ideas we get to work with, including Dylan's own Artlog, which he founded with Manish Vora a couple of years ago. Although Dylan most often labors in SF these days, Manish is firmly rooted here in New York's totally on fire tech community.
And last but not least: YOU. Because you know what? We are seriously so good together. Our interactions online here, there and elsewhere are energizing and inspiring. It's what keeps me going, so thanks for being one of the YOUs in the WE that I think of when I look at Dylan's print.
