“Our messy, colorful, weird internet”
I was at WordCamp US recently and my takeaway was wow everyone is talking about ai a lot. And also wow everything feels very complicated. And then Ma.tt said in the last session/fireside chat two things like he was reading my mind: maybe we’re focusing too hard on ai and we need to simplify. And…

@the100dayproject Day 19-22
Here I’m finishing up the last 4 spreads in a handmade book made from recycled planner pages, day 19-22 of the 100 day project I’m currently working on. The intro music is ‘all these mornings (49)(instrumental)’ from my band, Rushmore Beekeepers. Most of the video is just sped-up art sounds which is really satisfying to…

bullet journaling into 2021
My word of 2020 was ‘create’ which I didn’t think too much about after March. The end of December I was reminded of it and was like, ‘well so much for that.’ Then I was like HEY WAIT A MINUTE. I did a whole 100 day digital drawing project and am doing a song a…

.001 – Timelapse Rilo Drawing with kiddo
I bought some small LED lights for my art desk and have been trying a few different set-ups & cameras. The Rilo is super cool, it’s similar to a Go-Pro and takes 360 degree video. I also used my old Canon DSLR and my iPhone X. None of them look as good as I was…
