When you hit a creative roadblock, is it worth brute forcing your way through it? And how much trust should you put into your tools?

Kelsey Jean & The Bad Health has a new single out today! I also got to do the artwork, which I'm bloody stoked with. Super bold, and fish.

I joined the bandwagon in ditching Spotify because the CEO is a scumbag, which was easy, as I couldn’t stand the user experience of Spotify… but is the degradation of one platform just another sign towards the ‘dying’ internet (as we know it)?

Just some loose musings on how we talk about politics with our mates and the thoughts that paralyse us from speaking up. You're part of a larger movement.

Is the advice you’re giving (and I’m giving) ‘rules’ or simply your aesthetics? Been thinking on the mental gymnastics we all can do when rationalising our creative choices.

How does what we share online and in conversation with people about our creativity affect our practice or mental space? Does it guilt you into doing more, or paralyse you?

Are you creating through passion & romance, or is your rigid structure to creativity sucking all the life out of your art? Some musings today on romanticising other's creative processes, finding your routine, and building your perfect workshop.

Are you saying yes to every opportunity, or are you just a people pleaser? You need to be careful with your time, but you also never know what’s coming next and who’s checking out your work.

Like many, I get on a 'productivity kick' too often, and I struggle to let myself rest. Just some musings on that along with some thoughts on the book 'The Wall' by Marlen Haushofer.

What's your hook/entry point/draw to your art, and what does it say about the work itself? And how many times have you tried to get into a movie/game/band before it clicks?

Do you give enough time for emergent stories and details to emerge? And do you look for the intended meaning in art or the accidental meaning in art?

New experimental hip-hop EP out. Hope you enjoy it!

You make a social contract with every piece of art you interact with or create. Are you holding up your end of the bargain?

Also, what’s happening with the insane amount of cringe on Instagram music reels?

Do you need ambition to make ‘something of yourself’? Do you need to ‘make something of yourself’? What’s the difference between drive and ambition as an artist?

Can you turn on your creativity like a tap? Have you given yourself enough time to just sit in your creative space?

How do you get back to that place of curiosity, after you've finished a project and again at a crossroads? And more importantly, should you just let yourself rest?

Some rambles on such topics today

Original cover art by myself

Are you actively consuming art and media or passively? How can you connect your work to the world around you in a deeper way? The mentalities of old-school scrapbooking could help.
Also, what's all this about a “blood book”?

So bloody happy with these drawings and how they come out printed. Hound & Bone Printers do such amazing work!

My mum trusted me to design a tattoo for her of the Glastonbury Tor! Had a blast doing this style!
