AUSTIN KLEON: Know any creative couples?

austinkleon:

Hey friends,

For an upcoming project1, I’m looking for creative2 couples — married or partnered, straight or gay — who make cool things.

Preferably: 1) they are delightful in conversation and 2) they make things together (as in, run a business together) or make things apart…
