Work in the Hardwood Paroxysm Quarterly (Vol. 1, Issue 3)

Art by Elliot Gerard

Because I have a hard copy arriving in the mail sometime, I will probably comment more on this later. After all, anyone who knows me knows that if you put me near a computer I waste a half hour for every five minutes of productivity, which means for me to say anything of note I will need the hard copy that is currently en route.

So here’s the short of it: Ian Levy did a great job editing the issue and the artwork is sublime. The articles I’ve read so far make me jealous. I was glad to be part of a project so well put together. I don’t think I’ve been part of something that’s looked quite this good and polished. More than once, I've thought about framing every page. At this point, I'm only wasting your time. Just do one of the following:

Go here. Order a digital copy. Order a hard copy. 

The art alone is worth it. But the words are nice, too, with essays and interviews on everything from LeBron James to Porzingis and the McDonald's All-American game.
