Biggity Bam, today was pretty productive! I’m sliding into this year feeling pretty good about shit. Woke up this morning and signed up for a few races in prep for this year’s marathon. Last year was a shit show; I had signed up for a Hawaii marathon scheduled for December, and it never went down. But fuck 2022!! This is about 2023, so I’m ready to conquer this mother fucker! Back to the races, so far in the books, I got a 5k in March and April, a 10k in May, and a Half Marathon 4th of July in Portland, all in hopes of getting in great shape for December, where I will be doing 26.2miles on the beautiful beach of Waikiki. The rest of the day was pretty mellow; I’m pretty hyped to get back to work tomorrow and start some side projects. I don’t think anyone cares what they are but fuck you, this is a blog, and here they are anyway.

Podcast: Last year, through a serideipidous mishap, I found myself talking about the philosophy of creativity with a group of colleagues at a bar. This group discourse went so well that we made it a routine to gather at random bars throughout the city and talk shit and get in the weeds of what it is to be creative. The talks involved film, illustration paintings, and how they related to life. Word got out to other creatives, and as most things in the creative field happen by sheer stupid luck, someone that knows someone brought that someone to our bar gathering, and now we are on the hook for a season comprised of 24 podcast episodes. Updates on the release date to come.

Book: I’ve been painting with my brother for about a decade, and this year, we finally decided to publish our first book of illustrations. This, by far, is my favorite thing I am doing this year. Nothing has been more creatively fulfilling than going out and painting landscapes and cityscapes with my brother. Hoping to share that with you all sometime in September

Short Film: I don’t think I will be here this year, but I plan on making and entering a short film into a film festival. I have an Idea, but my technical skills are not quite there yet, but I plan on figuring that out through a series of microfilms I will be making every week.

That is it for now! Fuck I really gotta work on ending with a bang. These past few posts have had weak-ass endings.
