Nice way to start the day. Here’s the full version of the book, The Tightrope Men by Desmond Bagley. Rad shit, all around.

PRINTED MATTER: Totally spaced these! Burlesque North America has a little art print set up for grabs called the “AARON DRAPLIN WINTER MINI PRINT SET” for the fair price of $15. You need one of these. Going fast. Thick inks on seriously thick paper. Fun. Blue. Go!
