Sur-reality and signs

I have just received news that I will be the proud owner of 1 of 5 of these zines in existence.

The amazing Aaron Rose and Jessica Hopper recently collaborated on War and Peace and ran a contest through RVCA to find a lucky winner who will receive a copy of the zine. They asked entrants to give them a compelling reason why they should win. I seriously didn't think my response, "I don't deserve it" garnered much attention but apparently they disagreed enough to make me the winner. So cute.

Just for the record, I still don't think I deserve it.

However, I feel absolutely honored and will be so excited to see that envelope peeking out of my mailbox. A couple of weeks ago, Jessica was blogging about working with Aaron on the zine, which they created in ONE night, and it felt like a message. I've been working on my own "zine" for like two years... pathetic. It's all about procrastination and fear, mostly fear. This is a wake up call, for real.

Anyway, just formally want to say thanks again. I now have a renewed sense of D-O-I-N-G and great reading material in my future. This feels like a perfect day.
