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.
Tabletop Blog 6 - Getting Out into Nature
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.
Tabletop Blog 5 - Documenting the Borderlands
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! - 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.

So much love to these guys! I've been dreaming of putting a band together for my rap and finally it's happened. Kicked it at The Fitzroy Pinnacle.
I couldn't have asked for a better first gig! Thank you to these absolute legends for jamming out with me.
New Podcast Episode Out Now! - Getting inspired by your mates art
Why do we share our art? I think I've got a few insecurities around my sense of value as a person connected with my creative output.... BUT I also love being inspired by mates art and want to inspire other mates.
In this episode I also create a tier list of basic human needs, so that was silly. I think I forgot water as well.... oops.
Alright, catch ya next time.
Tabletop Blog 4 - The Dungeons of Jank
I built some walls.... and floors...and doors.
And they all come together through the power of magnetisation to form.... janky ass dungeons.
New Podcast Episode Out Now! - Making money off art... I'm bloody terrible at it
We all want to get paid for our work, obviously. But then we’re scared of ‘selling out’, and some are ‘hustlers’ who monetize everything and suck the life out of it. I dunno, I don’t know how I feel, but I ran my mouth for half an hour about it. Have a listen. Also I have more tram gripes
Tabletop Blog 3 - Sticky green fingers
I tried green stuff for the first time! Results are certainly a little janky, but I'm still very happy overall.
New Podcast Episode Out Now! - Sunk-cost fallacy and identifying as your project
So I've been thinking on lately, those situations when you no longer care about a project, or just get in a funk for a little bit. When you've poured your heart, soul and time into something and then... lose interest. That can be crushing, but it probably doesn't have to be.
New project out, Kelsey Jean & The Bad Health debut EP - Waxing // Waning
This is one of my favourite projects I’ve been part of! It’s been so much fun playing bass in this band & helping bring these songs to life.

Some weird lil' dudes, go forth!
So here's a quick little update of a few miniatures I've gotten lately. Got some 3d printed ones and then to balance that, some old school metal guys! I'm enjoying exploring this world more of weird fantasy miniatures where I can pick
