Some folks asked for some #DFW24 merch. Check out work from @chrisAcreative for merch officially thumbs-upped by the Society!
I just returned from the 2024 David Foster Wallace Conference, which is always a life-affirming experience that I never want to end… I didn’t bring any of my DFW artwork to sell, but if your’e interested, you can find lots of it here: tumblr.com/pooryorickenterta… #dfw2024
