“Listen: We are here on Earth to fart around. Don’t let anybody tell you any different!”

~ Kurt Vonnegut

Welcome to my frequently updated collection of snapshots, doodles, ideas. I’ve gone back and forth deciding whether this uncurated visual journal deserves space on my public website.

Isn’t “public” the place for the polished, fleshed out stuff? Maybe this other hubadubadeeboo should stay inside my photos app, on my desktop, in my sketchbook?

But as I think deeper about who I want to be as an artist at this point in time, I’ve decided I want to share this with you.

Nowadays, AI can create pretty stunning products. It can generate perfectly composed photographs. It can make logos, illustrations, websites. Honestly, it’s pretty good at giving us the aesthetic we consider “perfect,” noticing patterns, drawing connections that make sense, and grabbing our attention.

What it can’t do is feel inspiration.

I can do that though. I feel inspiration before the lens has time to focus. I feel inspiration before it makes sense. I feel inspiration before I have time to sharpen my pencil. My heart moves much faster than my brain. So I want to share these bits of my heart with you, in that tender space before the mind takes over.

Eventually I will find narratives, form bodies of work, have a “thing” to “say.” But right now I am expanding. I am feeling. I am noticing.

Join me in the process. Process is all we have.
