Good Man

A friend once asked me “why do you always try to be good?”. It was probably a casual question, but many years later I still carry it. There’s a thin line between being good for being good sake, and being good for fear of being bad. Sometimes I can’t tell…

#57: Distribution

I’m slowly building an audience for the studio — as planned. It’s a healthy mix of serendipity and being less afraid to put myself out. Very curious to see what this looks like by year-end. Album Cover Bank We completed the website for the archive (albumcoverbank.com) in July and organised a Show…

The Book of Mormon Racist

The Book of Mormon has been in my face in probably every major city I’ve been to recently so I’ve wanted to see it for a while. Finally, a few days ago, I get tickets for two and excitedly carry Princess along. But ooops. It was so racist we left…

Sweet Boy

Mad

Mad Spent so long feeling like a mad person. Only to realize so many people are mad. My own madness is just that I write about my shit and refuse to talk about it until I’m ready.

Fintech

Fintech I really hate it when someone says “oh do you work in fintech”, and now I’m wondering why. Why do I feel ashamed about my job? It’s because it makes me feel like a stereotype. I don’t like feeling like a stereotype. Why? Hmm.

#53: State of the Studio

Over the next few years, the plan is to evolve the studio from a one-man company into a non-profit co-op owned and run by members. If successful, I imagine other people can use similar models to create and sustain creative communities that play and grow together. Operations wuruwuru will run in…
