I do a lot of photography and I share it on my Pixelfed when I can.

It’s SFW.

    He really did fall off

    In the digital age the saying “Don’t meet your heroes” can be interpreted as “Don’t check your heroes’ social media or public statements”

    Though he was no hero of mine, it was pretty fun to try to see him in Adam Sandler films back in the day.



  • Removing as many roadblocks as possible is a great start (and something I sometimes struggle with too)

    Personal example: I leave my little idea notebook in my pocket with a pen in its cover so that when an idea smacks me right in the gray matter I can write it down before it has time to wriggle away. Or when I want to shoot pictures with my 4x5 camera, I load my film holders when I can (and keep extras loaded), so that when I find time to head out and shoot all I’ve got to do is grab my film bag, camera, and tripod.

    An example for you: If you’ve got a desktop, perhaps leaving your drawing tablet plugged in and off to the side on your desk will help you? That way you don’t have to wrestle it every time you want to use it. Or if you use it on your desk but don’t have a desktop, perhaps leaving it in a state of “all you have to do is set your laptop down and plug the last cable in” is a good state.

    Inspiration strikes when it want to, it cares not for your plans for the day, so lowering that windup time will help get you in the right groove faster so you can spend less of that precious creative time starting the engine and more of it hopping in the drivers seat and peeling off.


















  • The paralysis of a blank page is one hell of a hurdle that’s for sure, but the more you free yourself to just dump onto the page the easier it gets to start in the future.

    I highly recommend “Zen in the Art of Writing” by Ray Bradbury as it’s got some great essays on creativity in there that really like a fire under my ass to create.
