Are you feeling Graphic Supported?
We're starting Season 5 with a kind call for support to help us keep creatively caring
Hi everyone,
Thank you all for the continued support over the years. Drew and I both struggle with consistency in our creative and personal lives, but somehow we’ve managed to stick to Graphic Support Group (GSG) for four incredible years! Even though it hasn’t been at a regular clip, we’re really proud to have built this meaningful platform with the love and help of everyone here. We merely set out to reconnect as friends and search for some an answers to our own qualms, but we didn’t expect the generosity, insight and shared experiences that all our guests brought to each conversation. A big shout to everyone who’ve made space to talk with us over the years.
We again find ourselves in a changing moment where our differences are being held against us. Sadly, we are all entering a time where alternative perspectives that should be celebrated, are being condemned. We suspect that one of the reasons we’ve stuck with GSG is because of our shared feeling that being seen and heard comes from being in community. So its always been an aspiration of ours to make good on this warm feeling we get from sharing these conversations and build a sense of belonging around GSG. We have yet to really know what form that will take and we have plenty of ideas, but the truth is that we can’t do it alone.
So, starting off this new season of GSG we’re reaching out into the internet for some of your input. The first of these gestures is a short survey to get to know the GSG community better and get some collective ideas flowing. We’re always guilting ourselves to try and improve, be better with publishing and process (an unfortunate side effect of being designers).
Another area we could really use some assistance is with social media. We’re looking for some volunteer support with getting GSG out there and interacting with others who could use some Graphic Support.
Lastly, we hear the whispers of a “Field of Dreams” and trust that if we build it, they will come. If you’re interested and able help us organize GSG into real community events, HIT US UP! Again, what those gatherings could be is unknown, but we’re extending our hands out to everyone to join this mothership.
If GSG has resonated with you over the years please considering getting involved. We really believe that community is what is going to get us through these rough waters and we’re over feeling guilty about our procrastinations.
You can reach us at help@graphicsupportgroup.com, DM @graphic_support_group or even our trusty hotline +1-929-277-1941.
We can’t wait to hear from everyone. Sending thanks and love.
