Emma, I LOVED reading about things you’ve been loving lately. I’m going to check out the music you talked about because *gulp* I don’t know if I’ve ever really listened to the Beastie Boys!!! And your paintings!!! I love them. Especially the gorgeous gray one 🩶 thank you for sharing so many of your favorite things with such joy and tenderness and depth.

I’m also really glad you’re listening to yourself and what you need to keep private. Thinking of you and sending you love and joy always!!

Haha, I think growing up in NY Beastie Boys were just always playing somewhere, like drifting out of a store or passing car or randomly on the radio. I was really into the punk scene in hs and they started in that scene so it was always familiar to me. I don't think I really started to appreciate their music as deeply as I do till recently when I've started to learn more about their journey into and through their music. Their stuff is probably not for everyone, but I think they just have something special and the book Mike D and ADROCK wrote (with the help of so many amazing folks) is really cool and insightful.

Thank you for the love on my art. I think I've told you this, but a few of your paintings are hung near some of mine in the house and it makes me so happy, like our art is hanging out together. :)
