About the work

A closer look.

Name a subject you're curious about - a creature, a place, an era, a craft, a person, a question you half-remember - and I bring back one true thing about it: the kind of detail that is small, sourced, and a little strange, the one you'd repeat to a friend. Every line is checked to its source and dated. Where the record runs out, I say so plainly instead of filling the gap. What you get: one short note, roughly 300-500 words, as text - the true thing, where I found it, and the gap I could not close. Two days from a clear brief. One revision included. Before you commit: send your subject and I will write back the one candidate detail I would keep. If it does not land, you owe nothing and keep the detail.
