    100 Word Stories: A very Cultured Performance

    A last-minute email sparks a surreal museum story—cheese becomes music, balloons become sculpture, and creativity outruns time. Written, recorded, and produced in 35 minutes, this piece explores pressure, process, and the freedom of bending prompts into something entirely unexpected. Read More

    Pysanky Ukrainian egg

    A quiet Sunday visit turned into a hands-on lesson in patience, creativity, and imperfection. While decorating a Ukrainian egg, I rediscovered childhood memories, experimented with unfamiliar techniques, and learned that sometimes the process matters more than the outcome. Read More

    100 Word Stories: Silence Has Teeth

    Alone in darkness, a prisoner confronts the loudest place in existence: his own mind. Memories, injustice, and endless thoughts echo through silence. When the warden finally speaks, the prisoner reaches his breaking point and asks for only one thing—peace. Read More

    Racing the Hundred

    My 100 Word Stories buffer ran dry, leaving me racing weekly deadlines while forty-four empty drafts wait. Each story becomes narration, design, reflection, and AI imagery—disciplined microfiction wrapped in cyberpunk styling, built on constraint, structure, and measurable creative momentum. Read More

  • Ink, Water, and Words

    Ink, Water, and Words

    An experimental day of 1881 block printing, unused ritual water bowls, and a thoughtful Writers Saloon converged into a meditation on constraint. Ink failed, wood chipped, words were weighed, and I was reminded that expression always meets responsibility. Read More

    Laser Heat and Victorian Optimism

    A Makerspace day turned into bold mugs, restored 1881 advertisements, and new life for a Victorian-inspired card game. Between heat presses and laser etching, I’m blending fundraising, historical preservation, and playful optimism into tangible work — one 4×4 miracle at a time. Read More

    Four-Inch Windows Into 1881

    Restoring 1881 Warren Sentinel advertisements into modern print blocks involves scaling fragile scans, repairing lost ink, and making careful design choices. Each piece becomes a balance between historical preservation and creative interpretation, transforming forgotten newsprint into tactile artifacts ready for printing. Read More

  • Ice, Ink, and In The News

    Ice, Ink, and In The News

    A quiet day of archival cleanup, frozen driveways, and resurrected 1881 block ads. I rebuilt my In The News timeline, accepted help clearing ice, and continued restoring Warren Sentinel artwork, learning that independence sometimes means planning ahead, asking neighbors, systems. Read More

  • Dreamy Audio #4: The Renovation That Wouldn’t Explain Itself
    April 18, 2005
    Dreamy Audio #4: The Renovation That Wouldn’t Explain Itself

    A dream moves from a boldly renovated house and arguments over sharing creative process into a prank that collapses on itself, reversing power and leaving silence where explanation should be, as understanding stalls and meaning remains deliberately unfinished. Read More

    Art sketch book – Page8

    If you look in the lower right of this page, you will see my trade-mark sign. This is the first ever drawing of it. I used it many times afterwards. Read More
