This is so cool! I loved the verbs exercise.

Verbs that bring me joy: learn, write, swim, sleep, create, imagine, dance, talk, hear stories, and see different people. 🦄

My favorite Thoreau lines. I’m eager to read your words on each arrival. My gratitude is boundless, you reframe it in the most meaningful ways. Thank you for the zine to share, this will definitely be on my Friendsgiving table.

Thanks for sharing this. Zines have helped me in my creative journey this year. I realized how good it feels to finish something!

Would that be possible to have the template without the text ? Meaning the sheet with the drawings only and the separations ? That way we can use it in other languages :)

This is all so great, including the post about studying family like an archaeologist. “Doctor of Assholeology” made me laugh out loud, which feels especially good these days. Thank you!! I am so grateful for your work, Austin! It is a recurring source of inspiration and awesomeness.

I took copies of your gratitude zine to our family’s Thanksgiving dinner, and they ALL loved it! Thank you for making it available!

Thank you for the zine. I just sat with my kids and filled them out, colored and shared them with each other. It was a fun thing for us to do together.

Going to print and give away about 100 of these on Sunday, inviting folks to fill out their own and to leave folded, blank copies for folks to find around the city. I'm speaking about guerilla art as a spiritual practice, and this is a perfect little tool for that!
