Decided the original looked too unfinished (and not raw) so I went with black. Dig the contrast.
refuel / bridge
Riding and occasionally drowning in the wave of The Void, the BIG Void, first zilch period, no long-term projects, in almost 25 years. Simultaneously liberating and terrifying, finding my way back to having a creative brain again or, rather, a creative brain able to concoct something interesting be it word, picture, word and picture, scrap metal, and/or any combination thereof. Perhaps more regular textual postings will appear here (as I've wanted before) but I do know that I've brought out my paints and canvi and am painting again. Seems to be a bridge / gap pursuit / release that yields things in those other media that I have slightly more than a fetus's ability at and even then – and an invaluable tool for returning to "play and explore," something I'm going to fight like hell to maintain going forward, no matter the medium. Think it was something I read / heard David Bowie say, that when he's stuck or empty, he turns to painting to reignite. If I'm going to take anyone's advice...
newsletter fuckery
Latest (IN)TANGIBLE went out yesterday, but not without Buttondown woes. DNS etc etc, settings that worked for years suddenly stopped working, failure to send, yadda yadda. Ended up scrapping the whole custom send domain thing because fuck it. Not worth the brainpower to fix something that I still haven't figured out why it needs fixing. So, subscribers, if the email arrives from a different address, that's what happened. 🤷
