A Selection of Creative Writings
Various Artists
In the majority of these essays, I refer to musical references, because that’s what I’ve been gifted with (anyone who has received a hand painted birthday card can attest to where the music and the visual art disconnects in my hands). That being said, most of these concepts translate to any artform really, whether it’s writing, visual art, photography, dance, even science, math and general creative problem solving.

What is a half idea?
As creators, many times we enter a collaboration, eager to make something together, but we present an idea that is so fully formed, it’s nearly impossible to dissect it. It’s like we bring Michaleangelo, genitalia and all, to a session hoping someone else can fix his nose.
Or we show up with nothing.
