Years Slipping Away, 2025

Costanza Starrabba cheekily personifies a candle, rendered in ballooning gradients. Because as the years pile on, the candle, too, gets more tired. Maybe this year it’s best to let the cake topping flame slip away, and to let the last 365 days do the same.

From the people who send them
The handwriting doesn't look printed. My mom asked if I'd written it myself. I said yes.
— Blake, LA
Arrived in four days. I'd braced for longer.
— Ian, Chicago
Sent it to a friend I hadn't seen since college. He sent me a photo of it on his side table a week later.
— Dave, Philly
My wife sent it to me on a random Tuesday. No occasion. That was the point.
— Eddie, Tampa
Kept it on my shelf next to my books. Doesn't look out of place. That's the highest compliment I can give a card.
Chelsey, New York
My little brother graduated in May. I live across the country. This was the closest I could get to being there.
— Jared, Chicago
Put one in every welcome bag for a networking event I hosted. Got emails afterward asking how I'd handwritten them all. I told them my secret.
- Carly, Ft. Lauderdale
