  • 022 / making a film in lockdown

    Myself & @nlnbegley came up with an idea for a film and as soon as we planned to execute, Toronto went into another lockdown.

    We still chose to continue the film but let it take on a life of it's own to accommodate for all the restrictions we faced. In this episode, we talk about how it all came together.

    You can watch the film here: https://youtu.be/I5wr-wsyS8w

    Massive shout out to everyone involved in making this come to life! 💖

  • 021 / Check In

    I hope everyone is doing well in this crazy covid time.

    In this check-in episode, I recap with a few people on how they are spending their time, keeping positive and trying to focus on the good in these trying times. Shifting your outlook right now can go a long way.

    Keep positive and check-in with each other. 🙂

  • 020 / Embrace your Creative Burnout

    Don't make work for yourself just to make work!

    Embrace the season you are in right now, and if that means not creating, then accept that.
    In the episode I walk through my personal journey with having an addiction to creating things, not wanting to accept the burnout and just struggling to continue making things. In the end, I just created busy work for myself.

    Remember, whatever you focus your attention on will grow and sometimes growth requires rest.

  • 015 / Love the Act

    During my first hand-poked tattoo with Toronto artist Lara, I asked her how she got into the industry. How she developed her style and how she knew when it was time to throw herself all in.

  • 013 / Free Work Sucks (But Also Doesn't)

    Free works sucks, but is necessary in pretty much any creative field.

    If you want to stretch yourself, try new things and build your portfolio, it's important to be seeking out the right kind of free work.
    What do you want to be paid to do? Find your niche first - working for free, then go & compete in the industry.
