Art in the time of a global pandemic. Who thought that would be a thing we'd be writing about here? Not you? Me either.
Language Fails Us
Have you ever had the thought that words aren't enough? That there is no language for the idea you're trying to express? I've heard people say they dance to express the things they can't express any other way. And, well, I totally get it. While that's not the case for me (I dance because I'm … Continue reading Language Fails Us
Is A Question Ever Too Big?
What is the soul? One year ago I set out to create a score that would inform the creation of as much of my work as possible over the next couple of years. One year into it this "score," which has turned out to be more an evolution of questions than an actual score, has … Continue reading Is A Question Ever Too Big?

Motivation Is Not The Problem
There are countless self-help books out there on motivation: what it is, why it's important, how to keep it, how to get more, and how to give it to others. What if I told you it's not the fact that you have too little of it that's the problem, but the fact that the idea … Continue reading Motivation Is Not The Problem
Stop Overthinking It. You’re Smarter Than You Know.
You know that saying, "the more you know, the more you realize you don't know"? As creatives, we're often (not always, but often) on the hunt for more information, more knowledge, more experience, more more more, in a quest to be better and do better. For the most part, this is a great thing. It … Continue reading Stop Overthinking It. You’re Smarter Than You Know.
Quit Being Stubborn and Take The Help
Sometimes it's hard to admit we can't do it all ourselves and sometimes we don't even realize we're trying to.

We Are Terrible At Doing What We Say We Want To Do
Remember that Creative Process survey I sent out several weeks back? I posted it on social media, included it in a weekly newsletter and sent it to my friends and colleagues. Some of you took it, most of you didn't (it's never too late to take it, hint hint), but for those of you who … Continue reading We Are Terrible At Doing What We Say We Want To Do
Stupid Artist Jargon, Part 2: The Creative Process
See the thing with the creative process is that the more you try to pin it down, the more elusive it becomes. The more you try to define it's boundaries, the more nebulous it is. The more you try to do anything with it, the more it fights back. And, if you've ever found yourself … Continue reading Stupid Artist Jargon, Part 2: The Creative Process
