It’s one of those cool, damp end of March days. The kind where sitting inside drinking hot apple cider and reading books feels like the right course of action. It also suits my somewhat crabby mood. I’ve been feeling overwhelmed the past few weeks. First I took a week to finish the new site, and [...]
Jesse’s been sick with a bad cold since Sunday. It was only a matter of time before it caught up to me. Last week I worked marathon hours to finish the new site and it wiped me out. I’ve been going to bed late and getting up early. My body needs a break. So this [...]
There’s something I’d like to tell you – something I don’t often talk about, but now seem to have blazoned on the front page of my site: I want to change the world. I don’t talk about it often because it triggers all sorts of stuck – like the “Who do you think you are?” [...]
Oh helplessness. You and me have a long, and colorful history. You’ve been by my side, hanging out for over 9 years now. And I’m sure that you’ve served a good purpose, somewhere, somehow. I’m sure you’ve tried to protect me in some way. But it might be time for you to move along now, [...]
I would just like to say a big YEEHAW for my new site – if you’re reading this by RSS or by email, you’ll definitely want to click through and check it out. I am super proud of my new baby – blood, sweat, tears, and 5 days straight of coding went into this puppy. [...]
I’m still struggling with repricing my art. It’s kind of getting ridiculous how long it’s taking. But the deeper I dig, the pattern, the stuck gets wider and wider. It’s like I’ve discovered an entire catacomb of stuck and insecurity. My CV isn’t huge – I haven’t participated in a huge number of shows, and [...]
I’ve been thinking a lot about my prices lately, and as I mentioned here, my prices will be going up as of March 20th, in honour of my 22nd birthday. It’s hard though, looking at my prices. They won’t be going up by astronomical amounts, probably a few hundred dollars. Enough that I can actually [...]
Painful, racking self doubt today. The crippling kind that makes you question whether your art even has any value at all. The kind that is so hard to refute, so hard to argue with because it’s so damn logical. I think this is just one of those creative job hazards – when you’re making it [...]
The past few days have been pretty life changing. Nothing specific happened, but internally, some light bulbs have been going on. I feel like my entire emotional landscape has been flipped upside down and it’s brilliant. I’ll explain more in a few days, but first, I wanted to share today’s epiphany with you. Because it’s [...]
Fear. You don’t think about it constantly controlling your day to day life, do you? Or maybe you do, I don’t know. I know I can get pretty freaked out in certain situations, but I never really thought about fear controlling my entire life. I’m slowly discovering that it does. It makes a lot of [...]
