A Way of Life

Illustration for Richmond Magazine where author James Warren creates an activity called “50 things in 50 years”

“After I got the coffee going, I sat down to write and share a list of things I was grateful for. The more I wrote, the more I was inspired to write. After a while, I realized I had so many things to be grateful for, I decided to make my list birthday-themed — 50 things for 50 years — and I shared it online.”
-James Warren

We chose a more sober composition to match the article while playing with muted colors emitting from Warren as he writes his list.
