If you’re stuck in a creative rut, struggling to start, or can’t seem to finish what you begin—you just might be out of sync with your creative momentum.

I made a quiz to help you identify what fuels you—and what might be slowing you down.

You should always try to buy as direct as possible from the creatives whose work you enjoy.

Marketplaces are a convenience option, but not a single one supports the artist as much as a store they are in control of.

This needs to be talked about more. Personal space needs don’t disappear because you love someone forever.

We made sure our next spot has the offices of which you speak and we are both thrilled.

Moving day. The dawn the day the movers come. Change is inevitable. I choose to channel into creativity. Writing, drawing, photography. It brings clarity, peace, and strength for the day ahead.

How are you facing changes in your life today?

The combat. The HUMOR. Nathan Lane’s giant middle fingers was just chef’s kiss). Everything about Mr Terrific was... terrific.

If he manages to lead DC into this new era of comic adaptations I will go see every single one. Everyone should.

All comics are. They’re art. They’re commentary on politics and mental health and love and the complexity of being human. They’re a safe haven for those who feel different and those who feel powerful all in the same room.

And with all of that it was an absolute spectacle. The action, effects, the..

Superman almost defies categorization.

He had a major arc.
He blended in, seamlessly, like 5 other major arcs without trying to “do too much.”
He reinvented Supergirl in 30 seconds of screen time.
It FELT like the comics.
And, it was absolutely political commentary without ambiguity.

Just like

Who wants to talk about Superman?

I grew up with Marvel. Uncanny X-men #1 was my first comic and I read it to actual shreds.

And

I believe James Gunn just made not only the best Superman movie but possibly the best superhero movie. Honestly Blade might be a close second. And what Gunn just did…

Being a part of this community is a piece of my life that has given me more than I can say and I will never forget. One of the things I look forward to most in this next phase of my life is coming back to visit this beautiful community.

Our professors Crocilla and Adami at Park Slope Jiu Jitsu tell us every morning to "take care of your training partners." It's part of the DNA and goes well beyond the mat. This ethos, to roll with intention, to grow, to support others' growth.

As for this group, I really don't have the words. I see these faces every morning on the mat. I've spent more time with each of these folks in the last 3 years than I have with almost anyone in my entire 19 years visiting and living in Brooklyn.

It's why I continue to create these in my life and work (see also www.unleashcreativity.club), and can't see why I'd ever stop.

#Aftermath Family portrait (a few folks missing :| ). I have spent my life both creating and being embedded in different communities. Science has shown that the _feeling_ of belonging in these spaces is exceptional support for physical, mental, even financial, and relational health.

If you want to save time and money, and reduce risk of working to hard or not getting paid, this is the last contract template you'll ever need as a creative.

Same since maybe 200..5?

To be transparent I’ve handed off the big tasks like security, site performance, custom coding. But I still enjoy going in and mucking about with layout. Really enjoying Elementor. My tech wizard is moving the gallery site over to that soon and I can’t wait.

Done. I could also post about building our new course website but I think your paintings are what make your website posts really interesting.

Glad to. Just today I was on my electric scooter and felt a surge of joy as I passed by a whole street of cars stuck because someone just parked… in the middle of the street. Zero traffic is feature number one of cycling/scooting.

I’m appreciating this process timeline. And the bike rides!

Following up. I’m moving and looking forward to renting a commuter bike and then an e-bike before deciding what I’ll commit to.

When you're banging your head on a problem,  you might have a gravity problem, a problembyeond your control. I can't make people hire me. I can't force you to sign up for my new course. I can't make my knees 20 years younger.

Name the thing that's out of your control. Then move forward with what is
