The book I wrote in residence at La Ferme Magique for L'Antidote du Lot art festival last summer is now available on my website. Complete with some hay from the bale! Thanks again to @richardinlelot.bsky.social , Blaise Hanquet, and Axel Dejean for having me. jasonstoneking.com/worksforsale...

Considering the recent controversy about a lit mag publishing an AI-generated piece, perhaps more magazines should commission work by authors who write by hand 😏👀

I got to collaborate with some great artists on this video we made from my written portrait of Andrej Kapor. Featuring photos of Andrej by Lammert de Jong, assembled and edited by Leslie McAllister. I hope you'll have a look! www.youtube.com/watch?v=R02B...
