Mendo's book is a beautiful reminder: create what you want to create and tell your own story. Even in a world full of distractions and AI, it finds its audience.
Thanks @rubenbos.co for your kindness.

Not a good post without typos.
* I hope YOU enjoy…

That’s true. Thanks Jean.
Ooooh bedankt!
Almost two years in and I still find explaining Mundo Mendo harder than one would think

Thanks everyone for your enormous support. Paper Boat reached out, apologized and paid me for the license to use the drawing. It's so sad that we have to do this shaming for something that is ours.
Never let them steal from you, artists deserve better.
I’m considering it. In the meantime I think it’s best to shame them online and warn others to keep an eye out for these practices.
Felt it also in Karuizawa. Stay safe everyone.
I was so happy today to learn that when we die, we become minuscule dust specks: carbon, oxygen, iron, calcium and other stuff. The stuff that forms stars.

That should have read “his LOVE for drawing…” 🙄
About Joann Sfar's book 'La Vie Dessinée' and how his work for drawing makes me draw too.

Hot take: A society that allows convenience to overtake beauty betrays our humanity.
Those in charge of ordering the dustbins shouldn't have a place at the design table.

Ah! I just heard they’ll also offer A1 sized prints… I should get one myself!
I have decided to make an open edition of my most popular personal project. The Homestayer covers were only printed in a limited edition of 50 A3 size, but this time we are making them in A2 size for you. Available now on handsomeprovisions.com/collec...
Thank you.
I have been given the chance to play with a @remarkable Paper Pro tablet and I'm loving it. A few brushes to choose from (colour and texture were added in Procreate) and a non reflective screen that looks and feels like paper, but digital. The best of all: no notifications or distractions.
My youngest daughter will start school in two weeks and I am terrified.
Do all parents have the same or is it only those who had a miserable time at school themselves?

Lovely review of the MundoMendo Book One (in Dutch) by my friend Kristof Devos devoskristof.substack.com/p/b...
An open-hearted take on how I ended up using LLMs to do the boring work.

Ik herinner me deze! Had ik niet een verhaaltje er in? Kan je het ajb nakijken?
If you like nice things, stories, drawings, or nice people, have a look at Luis' newsletter
Merci mon ami. So happy to have you in the family.
I love being a member, and I love each new newsletter — and getting a book now as well is just icing on the cake.
Imagine a newsletter subscription that includes also a yearly book. Something you could lick (not sure it'll taste good though, but you could!). A nicely printed object, fully made in Japan.
From today, ALL MundoMendo members get the books (a 30 euro value) for free.
www.mundomendo.com
All newsletters should be crafted with the knowledge that one day they'd become chapters in a book.
This is why I take my time between updates to www.mundomendo.com
