Between 2019 and 2021 I published a weekly newsletter every Thursday, appropriately called Will Dalton on Thursday. A reimagining of the newsletters I used to distribute among my friends when I was a child, I wanted a time-dependent format that would encourage me to create new work, or be a place to document ongoing projects. The brief was simple: there had to be writing on the front and images on the back.

The front of the newsletters featured the first drafts of many short stories I have since expanded (The Bald Spot, On the Motorway, The Waving Maypole). And the back featured paintings, drawings, photographs, frames from videos I was working on (The End, The Ballad of Tom Barrow, Questions for the Trees) as well as work made specifically for the newsletter. Sometimes the two sides showed two different pieces, and sometimes they worked together towards one theme.
