THE CURIOUS MR. BLEND & CO.
STUDIO & SHOPPE / Let it be known that Mr. Blend has a distinctive adoration and vision for whimsically peculiar writing and typography. It allows him to bring to life the magic of the imagination in ways that create intrigue and/or leave onlookers playfully aghast.
Creativity, Skill, & Passion! No A.I. Involved!
“WHAT’S WRONG WITH weird? Weird's like the nuts in my cookies. It's the nuts that make things interesting!”

Peculiar Correspondence
Mr. Blend decided to craft the most curious of illustrated micro-fiction, regularly published and presented to you, dear reader, as correspondence in letter format.
Not to inspire nor to enlighten. No, simply something that can accompany your morning coffee or sadly buttered toast.

Meet Mr. Blend
Rumors suggest Mr. Blend rides a penny-farthing or that his home office houses skull-and-raven decor alongside an 83-year-old typewriter. Does he even own a penny-farthing? A most curious mystery, indeed ...
The Community
’Tis true Mr. Blend managed to gain a small but respectable following, his mysterious nature notwithstanding. So, he invites you to travel through his community, where he shares mysterious updates and projects for all to see.
For Inquiries
Alas, Mr. Blend is unable to accept a messenger crow or the scream from a two-headed tightrope walker as a means of correspondence. So, if you have questions or want to discuss a project--serious inquiries only, please!--simply contact him by way of electronic post, the telephone, or a black cat.
