Hello Reader, from your friend Nick in Austin, Texas.

In this issue: some feel-good cartoons by an artist that I found online. I think they will make you smile!

NYC: I’ll be in NYC next week (Aug 11) to help with Sam Parr's meetup on Thursday night. Tell me if you’re around on Thurs, Fri, and Saturday. Maybe I will host a park hang or a picnic or little museum adventure.

Why you’re getting this: I'm Nick Gray and this is my Friends Newsletter. I send this every month to interesting people I’ve connected with and friends I want to keep in touch with. You can un-subscríbe any time and I won't be mad. I won't even be notified!

I found this designer online who makes these images. I asked him if I could include it in my friends newsletter and he said yes!

His name is Ash Lamb (@ash_lmb on Twitter) and he has a course called Visual Growth.

These are my favorite images:
