  • The Life I Crave

    I spoke with a close friend the other day about dreams and how my choices aren’t actively contributing to them. She is absolutely right and it stings to realize how many hours were devoted to mobile games versus daydreams I hold close. It feels like an 8:1 ratio, if you also include the endless scroll…

  • These Dreams Will Not Wither Inside of Me

    It’s 5:29 in the morning yet I’m at my most alert, despite being awake the entire night. An internal fire has begun and I’m tending to it now through the words you’re reading. Lately the thing I hate about myself the most is how I talk and write about these honestly wonderful ideas, but have…

  • Artist Book Dummy WIP: Fortune Cookie Slips

    I took an introduction to artist book class at the San Francisco Center for the Book with Matt Runkle and that was fantastic! I always wanted to make an artist book and I learned different ways of binding and crafting books. I created a pocket accordion book from the Making Waves: Intro to the Accordion…

  • I will not hold back in my love for you

    I’m noticing some changes to my being. I honestly feel like I’m on the cusp of another stage of growth. Due to the following: I check in with friends a lot more often, esp when they told me earlier how they weren’t doing well, feeling sad, or struggling with something. I don’t ask “how are…

  • i want more meaning from this life

    This past Tuesday I went to New York City and did all the things I love– visit art galleries, take a class and learned something new, browsing bookstores and buying, eating Poke, sunny day, saw the STORY store, had a meeting with GABRIELA NY–  but I wasn’t fully engaged. I realized that I wasn’t as…

  • Adored Ephemera – pages 6 & 7

    It’s been too long of a while since I updated my sketchbook project 2015 tag. Go here and read the pages so far in order. Page six contains an instant photo of my DSLR D5000 (RIP). I broke it in July because I’m foolish but maybe it’s fixable. Once I have the money, I’ll bring…

  • strange but enriching idea #003

    Originally written on December 22nd, 2016 @ 5:28 pm and now expanded. For more strange but enriching ideas, go here. Create works that get sold in Art-o-mat® – Don’t Go ‘Round Artless! They’re basically converted cigarette machines that you can buy affordable art from! So neat. I already bought a prototype package so I can…

  • strange but enriching idea #002

    Originally published on Facebook on Tuesday, November 15th, 2016 @ 6:08 am, as inspired from this Electric Literature essay by Tobias Carroll, “The Writing on the Wall: On the Convergence of Literature and Art“. Strange but enriching ideas are concepts I’d love to do that would add more unconventional wonder and creativity to my life.…

  • strange but enriching idea #001

    Originally on Wednesday, October 26th, 2016 @ 6:26 pm NOTE: I’ve been collecting three of these so far on my facebook, but I decided to copy them over to my blog because I wanted to create/post more things on here. I want to collect all the book/movie/tv/media etc recommendations that strangers have given me a…
