"Fairy tales do not give the child his first idea of bogey. What fairy tales give the child is his first clear idea of the possible defeat of bogey. The baby has known the dragon intimately ever since he had an imagination. What the fairy tale provides for him is a St. George to kill the dragon."

My little project for the year is making my life harder on purpose. I talk about it a little bit here, but the long and short of it is that I think excessive convenience has eroded the quality of everyday life at great cost to our sense of self. I've been referring to it as The Smooth World

2026 is about affordable homeownership. No more "policy" this year. Feed the local fauna, befriend them, and then use them to overpower homeowners so you can occupy their dwellings.

I haven’t received the down payment on this so it’s not a done-done deal but I got my first commission in a while 😌 I don’t paint super often anymore and I don’t advertise commissions but usually once a year, someone happens to find me. It’s a nice surprise!

So I’ve dropped out of college A LOT since I started in 2011 for money reasons but I went back in earnest January 2024. In a month when the semester ends, I’ll be a junior. I can actually see the other end of the tunnel now and it just feels really really good
