I’m Lunar Violet -- a podcast writer, producer, and emerging film3maker. I’ve been an artist/writer since my mother sat me down at the age of four to write my name and address. I immortalized the memory in my first sold-out limited edition zine from 2018, “Slash Marks”.

If you subscribe to my [web2 blog](https://lunarviolet.substack.com/), you’ll get a free PDF of “Slash Marks,” including thumbprints. Then unsubscribe after you get the PDF, so you can subscribe here:

I’d like to offer a free NFT when you subscribe, but until I figure that out, here you have a two-step solution. You could also stay subscribed to both. They’ll have slightly different content, though there may be some overlap.

My podcast -- [Don’t Be Poor with Lunar Violet](https://www.lunarviolet.com/podcast) -- was called “Adult Papers” for three years. It was a Zine series for two years before that (Slash Marks was issue no. 1.) I have limited physical copies of issues 2-5, as well as prints and paintings from the 2018 conception that happened somewhere between my dreams and studio at Sunset in Oak Cliff, Dallas. In the snail-like concept of single-motherland time, I’ll re-release the zines as NFTs and mail you the physical companion.

In present-time reality, I’m collaborating with [Lxrd Ox](https://sites.google.com/view/lxrdox/home). Our first drop is scheduled for the first week of April. I’m getting my ducks in a row to shoot [my first short film](https://youtu.be/i6nNDp_MA2M) later this year, and I’ll continue to share [audio](https://www.lunarviolet.com/podcast), [video](https://www.youtube.com/@thelunarviolet), and writing here as well as the [Substack](https://lunarviolet.substack.com/).

luego /lwe-ɣo/ adverb: later
