A quiet update — and something new

Not much noise lately, but a lot happening underneath.

Hey friends,

I wanted to write a quick update, as I know it’s been a little quiet.

I’ve been a bit overwhelmed juggling my 9–5, and honestly, I didn’t want to send half-hearted things just to stay on schedule.

I also went on a 5 week holiday to Italy with the twins and my girlfriend and during that trip my creative energies started flowing again.

So I’ve been working on a few ideas behind the scenes. Things that could bring more value to this space and especially to those of you supporting it.

One of them is now live (after many requests from you).

I opened a small digital shop with high-res, print-ready versions of the visuals I’ve been sharing.

They come in all sizes, ready to print, frame and hang wherever your brain needs more focus and less noise.

You can check it out here:

Besides that, I’ve been quietly struggling with another topic: While all the content of this newsletter has been free since the start, quite a lot of you actually decided to go paid.

No extra’s, no pay-walled content and yet some of you signed up anyway. That surprised me, left me feeling feeling grateful, but it also gave me this sense of responsibility.

Not just to create, but to find ways to return that trust with something more meaningful.

So at the bottom of this post is the first little extra for my paid subscribers. A 100% discount code for all the high-res visuals in my shop. Completely free.

This isn’t a push to convert more people to paid. I’m just as grateful for everyone reading this, paid or not. But for those who supported this project when there was nothing to gain, I want to offer a few small extras — as a quiet thank you.

Hope to continue building value for you all, let me know if you have ideas on that :)

Best,

Hidde
