New Podcast Episode Out Now! - Make your pretentious art... approachable?
Hello. I do sell a lot of wank, don't I.
I've been thinking about making approachable art or being very selective with the audience you seek for your projects. Where do your interests take you, or how do you find yourself naturally communicating?
Enjoy.
New Podcast Episode Out Now! - Individualism vs community effort
It's amazing what one person can do, but it pales in comparison to what a community can do. Be it working on a project by yourself, or enacting political change.
I have a yarn about that in this episode. Enjoy
New Podcast Episode Out Now! - Finding where you're comfortable being uncomfortable
Of course, we all gotta push ourselves creatively and as people. But does that mean we have to challenge ourselves the way others do? Maybe you can feel when being challenged feels right and productive and when it's not for you.
Podcast time bb. Listen.
New Podcast Episode Out Now! - Fuck grind mindset... but work hard if you want to
I've been very manic lately and have been really enjoying it. Something about my brain at the moment is allowing me to work really hard in a very excited and joyful way....
But that's just for now. Maintaining this forever is not possible or useful.
I rant about this and jump around a lot to other topics on this episode, so buckle up or skip it.
Love ya

New Podcast Episode Out Now! - Is your project greater than it's weakest parts?
When you're working on a project, it's obviously very easy to focus on the parts you doubt the most. But maybe it's best to focus on your strengths and allow your weak points to just be good enough to play their role.
New Podcast Episode Out Now! - How small and achievable should we make our goals?
With lofty goals, we risk never achieving them or not knowing what to do once we do. But then, with small goals, we might always be chasing the next one and just repeating ourselves. Maybe, I dunno, but I had a yarn about such a concept on this episode.
New Podcast Episode Out Now! - We made this all up and what a bloody relief
Well, this one I bloody got into it. Talking some fundamental values that drive both my work, and just who I am. I'm most likely just a big hippy at heart who doesn't know shit but, I'll hide that behind my black wardrobe until the grave.
Enjoy
New Podcast Episode Out Now! - Do you embrace the jank or refine?
Where is the line between raw and 'real' art vs unrefined and lazy art? IS there a point when you're polishing too much? I certainly try to embrace the jank but I'm also scared I'm just a lazy creator.
Ramble ramble ramble.
New episode. Enjoy
New Podcast Episode Out Now! - Where is the line between "perfection" and diminishing returns?
When is a project done? Can a project be perfect? Will you ever consider it either of these things?
I think I'm pretty good at finishing projects, at calling it when they can't go any further. But I still, of course, have so much doubt every time if it's.... just not good enough.
Aaaaand I have a bloody ramble about that on today's podcast. Ok, enjoy.
New Podcast Episode Out Now! - Is your project the beginning or end of a chapter?
We're always looking for springboards, launchpads, milestones, etc...
Markers to say now we're good, now we're seeing success, this was a big one, or what have you. But post release depression is a bloody nightmare, and taking the pressure off is important.
I'm trying to shift some things in my head around releasing, which is what this episode is all about.
Enjoy. Luv

Got a little tabletop update today based around an experiment. Using watercolour paint on miniatures!
New Podcast Episode Out Now! - Letting yourself just exist
I go on a lot about just making stuff as much as possible, which is all well and good, but I often struggle with just letting myself chill. Just exist. Not relaxing so you might work harder later, just exist with no purpose.
So I ramble on about that and pro-wrestling for a while. Have a listen.
New Podcast Episode Out Now! - Sticking to your schedule, as perhaps, a form of therapy?
Well, bloody hell, today, I had nothing. Or rather, I started with nothing, and found something. There is something to be said about sticking to your schedule and getting over that first hurdle.
But is it healthy?
Let’s have a chat about that.
New Podcast Episode Out Now! - Communicating your creative limitations to people. How do?
Been musing on the same shit recently I have for a few weeks, making money from creativity. But having a chat with someone recently got me thinking clearer about why I might be struggling with it. Coming to terms with your limitations and communicating that with people.
So I riff on that for a while. Have a listen if ya want.
Be well.

So this week is the culmination of my work on terrain and miniature painting. I'm playing a game called 'Five Leagues from the Borderlands". A solo rpg lite wargame.
New Podcast Episode Out Now! - Trying to embrace the meditative side of creating
Even as someone who makes art for basically no cash, I still get caught up in trying to turn everything into content. I mean, that's just the way of social media and capitalism, yada yada, but I'd like to embrace creating for the sake of creating more. Anyway, I rambled on about that for a while. Have a listen.

New Podcast Episode Out Now! - How do you show conviction in your art?
The bloody hardest part of performing art is convincing the audience that you believe in what you're doing. At least that's what I've found. I think I'm getting better at that, though, and I talk about it on this episode... also the first half, I coughed a lot, so I'm sorry about that. Ok, enjoy, bye.
