After the Eaton fires, I cleared out ninety percent of my art supplies. Making art feels frivolous now, like it doesn’t matter. Something in my brain has just… switched off. I haven’t stopped making things completely. I still self publish books, create videos, and do graphic design. But my long art table is empty, cleared off, with chairs pulled around it instead. A space to break bread with friends feels more important right now.

PERPETUAL MAKER
I get a thrill from the act of organizing, like a deranged librarian with OCD. I retch at the mere whiff of anything berry-scented, thanks to a noggin' knock that left me even more peculiar. I like my cookies cold.
I'm a certified Neuro Nerd, and a podcast junkie I've conquered three 14ers like a goat, and I've got a 100-mile run finisher medal. I feel most alive in Death Valley.
