For reasons beyond my control, this week I got swamped by music-project-related chores; among other things, this included putting out an EP, hiring a PR company, and lots and LOTS of design. Not so much a necessary evil as a great kick in the butt that prompted me to *put more art-things out there*, the […]

This is the world I made (spoiler alert follows, I guess, if you’d rather explore it yourself): You’re on an Island. On the island are a lighthouse and a piano. You can activate the lighthouse if […]
Week 5 has been emphatically and purposefully craft-oriented and un-artistic, although I still made things, and am still publishing them.

It’s a really great foundation, and even though there’s some frustration in the fact […]
