Thank you all so much
“Clint, the “Apostle of Creation” who’s writing some of the most intense essays about re-enchanting the world through art — and thereby seeing the real truth of things — that you’ll find here or anywhere else.” — Award winning author, Matt Cardin, of The Living Dark
“Wonderful essay, Clint. Honored that something I wrote could have been involved in the cross-fertilization of its inspiration.
