Welcome to Artful Notes, bringing you perfect calm in times of war, pigs, or underoos.
Let’s go!
Art I’ve Found
Cory Staudacher, a.k.a. “Withhearts,” is a photographer in the minimal world. He tends to use a lot of mist, fog, and dreaminess when creating scenes to bring a sense of calm and peacefulness when looking at his art.
If you need a break from the craziness of life, scroll through his Instagram, X, or check out his website.
My Art
Standing Tall
As bad as some of the news might be about Chicago, it’s still a damn beautiful city. I always love the buildings, reaching for the sky.

Music I’ve Found
Blasterjaxx & Timmy Trumpet
Narco
Somehow my “Discovery Station” started playing a song that was electro house music. Okay, I’m fine with that. Then I started hearing trumpet. Cool. Then I heard a lyric with the word, “underoos, roos, roos, roos.”
Yup, it doesn’t take much to hook me in!
My Dorky Song
I do love promoting Love Song Thursday, as it means more songs that I sing to my wife. Every day with her is perfect!
I’ve Written
So, yea, my short story is released, and as I progress with my plan for short story domination, I’m also going to offer them for free on the What Ben Didn’t Know… website a few weeks after their official release.
So, if you don’t want to spend the dollar on the Kindle version, or a few more bucks on the paperback, read it free on the website! And, if that isn’t enough, hopefully there will be a podcast release of the stories as they come out as well!
One More Thing…
John Denver sings Black Sabbath’s “War Pigs”
There’s a group of musicians called “There I Ruined It” who do odd adaptations of just about any song.
I’m an old fan of John Denver, and kind of wish he were alive to actually do this version.
Alas, technology must be used, and Black Sabbath will never sound the same!
Thanks always for your interest!
If you would be so kind to share this newsletter with your friends, I would appreciate it!
See you next week!
