You know what one thing I hate more than so many other things in the world is? The boring-ass menial labour involved in executing administration, no matter WHAT kind I am tackling and how it relates to my life. Now hate is a strong word, and I generally don’t subscribe to hate in other areas of my life, because…
Spring is officially here dear readers! And that means it’s time for change, warmth, and appreciation. The circle of life, in all of it’s perfection. Death and rebirth. If you want another less literal example, in the form of a metaphor, it’s like a phoenix rising from the ashes. Frankly, it just feels good to…
Wednesday is very easily becoming my favourite day of the week, dear readers! I get to share with you resources to better yourselves, ways work on your skill set, inspiring figures to keep you motivated, and all the while provide you with a framework to build your art around so that you are creating work that…

One of my favourite things about film is the great associations films can have with words and ideas (spoiler alert for today’s wisdom).

In what seems to be a backlog of entries… Special thanks to my car problems and computer problems for delaying the last post of this kind, this post, and one more future post.. I have ANOTHER delayed post to deliver up. One which is now 4 months in the making… That’s right, I’m releasing another featured…
You want to be like Steve Jobs right? Well, get in line dear readers. Seriously though, a lot of people want to emulate the persona of Steve Jobs because he will always be remembered as a genius. That’s the way it is with great people; those visionaries and leaders who appeared at the right time and…
Hey there dear readers! I hope your weekend has been excellent and full of art and all kinds of awesome and amusing things! Oh thanks, but how are you doing Tim? Oh, very good, thanks for asking! Well, actually I’m feeling a little out of touch with reality, to be honest. My weekend started on the…
