snail mail from your

Older Brother

monthly letters, art, and miscellaneous ephemera delivered to your mailbox

Sort of a hippie, kind of a drifter. Wandering, but not aimless. Seeking, evolving, and very into rituals. I want to send you cool stuff and share stories about weird things you likely never learned in school.

Whether you already have an older brother, or always wondered what it would be like – I'm here to send you heartfelt stories, sound advice, random goodies, and occasionally a new perspective to ponder in your own life.

what's inside?

Each month begins with a personal letter about something I've been making, noticing, learning, remembering, or just can't stop thinking about. Along with it, I'll stuff in a few things that belong with the story – art, photographs, stickers, paper oddities, music, and whatever else seems worth sharing.

Things that might show up –––

A Personal Letter

4x6 Original Art Print or Photo

Stickers

Paper Ephemera: Bookmark or Note or ??

Music Playlist

Occasional digital oddities

You may have questions

I send one batch each month. Join by the 15th to receive that month's Post. If you join after the 15th, your first letter will be part of the following month's mailing.

US members typically receive it within 3-10 days of departure, and international members should receive the letter within 2-6 weeks.

I have a portal for subscribers to change your address, update your payment, or cancel/pause subscriptions before mail day. Click here to access.

Yep. Your first $11 payment happens when you subscribe, then your subscription renews automatically each month on the same date. You can pause or cancel through the subscriber portal.

Pre-paid subscribers will be charged the full cost of their subscription upfront.

First class mail can take up to 2 weeks to arrive (6 for international). If your letter doesn’t arrive, let me know and I’ll make it right. Please review your receipt to confirm your address is correct as that can sometimes be the issue.

Snail mail has that slow pace and builds anticipation each month. However, letters can sometimes get delayed and even lost. If you have not received your letter by the above timeframes, please reach out and I'll fix it.
