I was thinking February was supposed to be a month of increased production and better results. I thought it was going to be a month about finding and exploring my artistic influences. I thought it was going to be some picturesque, black and white romantic super-8 film of my sister and my adventures in a far away city having glamorous adventures. So far, February has reminded me that I’m trying to be an entrepreneurial artist, not just a creator. In other words, I’m trying to

It’s not because I’m trying to achieve an overnight success, or because I’m determined to be a miserable artist suffering for the sake of my

If any of my readers watch my vlog channel, you know I’m definitely into astrology and horoscopes. I’ve checked mine every day for as long as I can remember. I do realize how stupid and ridiculous it may seem sometimes but honestly, it provides me with a lot of self reflection and opens my attention up to things I may have neglected otherwise. I just think it’s useful to have another perspective on your own life, and at the very least it can provide a laugh when it’s totally

This week I resurrected a character hidden away in my intellectual thicket who has not seen the light of day in over 5 years. I had planned on bringing him back for a round of music videos and skits this week, but the nail was really hit on the head at rehearsal last Monday night.
