IExist

A writer and director. I really like creating animations and exploring my own identity through the dialogues i have with other members of the tumblr community. I feel like it would be too easy to hide behind my people and work so remaining open to dialogues with anyone that wants to write or messenger keeps me more real somehow. I love love, I believe in magic and I still believe in people. Completely committed to being a member of the CRUELTEAFREE artistic collective.

The rocks featured in the daily videos, are from each of the regions that make up the Cowichan Valley. So my sound vibes are bouncing off rocks grounded to all of the valley and out to the world. Hippie magic. Island hoodoo. Healing vibes.

My instrument of FOLK. This is the nicest guitar i have that has been given to me’ which i think’ is an essential element to create folk music.

So these objects are some music industry talismans i have around. The backdrop, at site 2 for my practice sessions. I was learning to play the guitar the first time i saw nirvana live. If kurt were alive today he would also be a folksinger. We would hang out at meals here and there in the festival scene. Instead he is a folk icon, and i sit alone among the talent at festivals. Hippie magic. Island hoodoo. Healing vibes.

*No filter* The sky is burning The last couple of weeks the world around me has been on fire. The taste of burning in the air had become normal. The sky is burning.

All this smoke makes the day take longer to heat up but by 2pm its trapping the heat.
