Hi, I'm Jez Burrows, a British designer, illustrator, and writer, living in Seattle, WA. You can find me on Instagram or send me an electronic mail. write an email newsletter called Dept. of Enthusiasm-a single monthly recommendation of something great (and occasional updates on what I'm working on). Previously I published And Introducing, a Kickstarter-funded book collecting 3,000 unsung, unlikely, or unfortunate casting credits from over fifty years of cinema history. Buy it here. Before that, my first collection of short stories, Dictionary Stories: Short Fictions and Other Findings, was published by Harper Perennial and remains available at all reputable bookstores, and probably some disreputable ones too. I collaborated with some magnificent people on three short films about the book, and talked about it on The Allusionist, NPR, and The Believer.
