I've seen a few of these "uses" pages around on websites. It's so fun to see what people use on a daily basis, so I decided to make my own. joshuagraves.me/about/uses/

Just finished a shirt for Lord Huron’s show at Red Rocks! They’re touring for the 10th anniversary of Strange Trails, and the shirt pulls from a few themes present in the album. #lordhuron #fanart

I heard you wanted more spooky book covers for We Need to Talk. This one's called Nightmare on Overwhelm Street. You’ve imagined every terrible outcome—and now they’re coming true. This chapter’s about what happens when stress, avoidance, and fear snowball into full-blown workplace horror.

More pulpy, Goosebumps art for We Need to Talk! This one’s called Bad Blood.🩸🙀 It’s about the old resentments we pretend don’t exist—until they derail the next project. The book shows you how to surface tension and reset without making it worse.

We all struggle with different parts of tough conversations. I used to freeze up before they even started. And it was dang near impossible to stop my stomach from tying itself in knots. What’s the hardest part for you?

Most people go into hard conversations worrying about what to say. Not enough of them know that emotions outstrip words by a mile. If someone feels threatened, called out, or attacked, the best logic in the world won’t change their mind. Their brain is already in defense mode.

You don’t need the perfect words. You need psychological safety. Most people go into hard conversations worrying about what to say. The truth? How you make the other person feel matters way more than what you say.

Time for more spooky We Need to Talk artwork! This one's inspired by a chapter on working with people who treat every new idea like a threat—and wind up digging their own grave just to avoid changing. This chapter shows you how to move things forward, even when they’re stuck in the past.
