Today Mallory and I spent the morning in Scott Avett’s studio in Concord, North Carolina, out in the country a half hour or so from Charlotte. Most of you probably know Scott as one of the members of the Avett Brothers, but he’s also an incredible painter. It was a pleasure to spend the morning looking at his work and talking with him about his process. I grew up not too far from him, and we’re about the same age, so there was a lot to talk about.

I’m lucky to do the work I do, y’all. Thank you for making it possible. Back to the desk tomorrow morning. Onward.
