Make Mistakes.

Mistakes are how we learn. Without them, every piece would look the same.
When something goes wrong, that’s usually where something new shows up. Not planned, just discovered in the process.

Running saved my life this year.

The last year and a half has been the toughest time of my life so far. I got out of a relationship of 7 years, moved 4 times, and have never felt more alone. Through all the trials and uncertainty, one thing stayed consistent and was always there for me: running.

I’ve run my whole life. But as I got busier with life and freelancing, I slowly stopped. I relied on drugs, alcohol, and my mind alone to get me through tough times and convinced myself I needed those things to create good art.

Right after my breakup I knew I needed to make a change. I wasn’t the man I wanted to be — not even close.

So, a lot like Forrest Gump, one day I just started running.

Running is hard, and that’s the point.

You don’t run because you enjoy it.
You run because it sucks.
You run because the suffering it brings makes the other sufferings of life a little easier to carry.

Saturday I ran my first marathon.

I didn’t hit the time I wanted, but I got pretty damn close. Around mile 11 I realized the new shoes I was wearing were too small and my feet started to bleed and blister.

But just like the past year of suffering, it was just another obstacle to overcome.

I just kept putting one foot in front of the other — slowing down, but never stopping.

15 miles of pain later, I even negative split the final miles and finished in 3:38.

And damn, I’m proud of that.

First marathon. Definitely not the last.

Proud of the boys too — such a fun day.

Chase your dreams no matter what.
And take care of the machine that makes the art. 🤙🏽✨🩵

The more digital everything becomes, the more valuable human imperfections become.

The dirt.
The mistakes.
The smudges.

That’s the stuff that makes artwork feel alive.

Since 2020 I’ve been experimenting with ways to merge analog materials with digital tools, building textures and layered accidents that can’t exist in a purely digital workflow.

As AI continues to push creation further into the digital world, I believe the opposite will also happen:

The human fingerprint in art will become more valuable than ever.
