Current thoughts:

I miss that warm feeling I'd get as a kid watching 90's anime and dreaming about escaping from my life to go on adventures like the ones on the television.

I really want to move.

Today is my first day back in North Carolina since Thursday. We drove to Michigan to spend the weekend celebrating Christmas with Katie's family and just like every other time we have come back home, we didn't want to.

This area just doesnt appeal to me other than some family living here. Every time we have visited Kalamazoo I feel so creatively inspired and so comfortable. We talked about moving there again on the drive home last night. I think this is something that will definitely happen in the next couple of years. I feel out of place already and I've only been back for 12 hours.

I want art.

I'm about to make the 11 hour drive from NC to Indiana and for the shifts I'm not driving I'd like to discover some new art. Link me to your creations or those of people you know or admire.

Photography, cinematography, poetry, painting, drawing, animation, digital, graphic design, short stories, anything. Send me all of the art.

Written on Coffee and an Overactive Mind

November 16th, 2018 - 3:55 a.m.

This is the time of day (or night) when my mind is the most creatively active. I sit and write ideas for stories, characters, scenes, songs, designs, ideas, etc I know I should be sleeping, but if I don’t put my creative inspiration into some kind of tangible form, I feel it has gone to waste or that I am not being productive. 

This is where this blog comes in on this fateful Friday morning. I have several outlets for my creations, a YouTube channel for videos, an Instagram and Facebook for photos, and a Twitter for random thoughts and ideas, but I don’t really have one outlet where everything can be reflected at once. Enter tumblr.com.

On this blog I will share everything to do with my personal life/creative endeavors and everything will be as transparent as possible as far as my art and creative ideas. I will share videos, photos, narrative writing, random thoughts (probably more than anything else), music, sketches, designs, and anything else I create.

That being said, this is the end of this introductory post. 

Until the next one, go create something.
