Hey y’all,
Esther Pearl Watson is an artist in Joshua Tree, California. To celebrate the opening of her new store, Get Lost Art Supply & Mojave Mystery Mercantile, we conducted this typewriter interview via the magic of the United States Postal Service. (For a plain-text version with links and extra notes from me, see the P.S. below.)
