Hi,
The Summer Mix is out now, a beautiful selection from Kraków based artist, writer, and musician Natalia Panzer. Enough heart to finish out this season, sticky, eager for a cool breeze. Natalia’s work as influenced me for many years, I’m grateful to have the opportunity to share this mix. Please check out her other projects, including a residency over on NTS and the eclectic fashion fanzine miniskirt. Angelina Nonaj, another multi-hyphenate all star, contributed a drawing for the cover art. Full of light and love. Their work is never to be missed.
If you haven’t heard, Liza is making a full run of Stone perfumes, the same scent captured in our collaborative box set. You can learn more about that on her website. I’m biased because Liza is my best friend and collaborator, but this perfume is Really really good. Do not sleep on this opportunity to grab the first piece from an extremely talented and creative nose, featuring wonderful creative direction by Ren Schwarz.
There are always new things on the horizon, trying to catch them with my butterfly net, before I get too tired. I’ll be in Italy later this month, celebrating love and friendship. I’m excited to share the work I made for what will be an iconic wedding ceremony. Colorful is the dream that beckons.
For my Richmond friends, I’ll be at Stone brewery Sat Aug 24 from 12-5. I’ll have lots of work, including Stone boxes (jinx) and some new pieces.
This project continues to maze around my life, surprising me, challenging me, pushing me forward. I’m trying to stay curious, open, break away from some old rules I made for myself at the start. I don’t know what lies ahead, but I know this moment holds potential. It always does. Thank you for sticking around if you’ve been here for awhile, it means a lot.
With light,
Matthew
