New single out by @50fifty.au on 13.02.2026

Thank you legends for continuing to get me on artwork duties. This was a very fun chance to keep experimenting with some dark 80s fantasy-style painting.

Bandcamp has announced that they don't allow A.I music on their platform, that's all I needed to hear. As the internet continues to erode, I've decided I want to value my own work and take back some control over it.

You are what you eat creatively. And we have an abundance of things to consume, each pushing you in a different direction. But you can also find inspiration and lessons in the most unlikely of places.

A quick update on what’s going on, and some rants about current A.I shenanigans ruining the world. Enjoy

Massive Jack White fan here, but let me over dramatise a throw away line real quick to talk about a bigger topic here. How much agency do you have over your mental well being vs external factors?

I've always been quite addicted to output, releasing, and content. I'm now reckoning with my addiction to social media and how these two things intersect. How do you reclaim your attention span and your love of the creative process?

Go and check out this new fantastic jazz album by Josh Bennier! It’s a bloody ripper and he also got me on artwork duties.

How do you legitimise your art in the eyes of others, and far more importantly, in your own eyes? How do you communicate to people that you’re taking your art seriously?

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?
