    Excerpt · Positive tone

    It’s the moment every artist lives for: Finally landing a show, whether it’s in a coffee shop or in a traditional white cube gallery. Making it into an art or craft fair. Landing an art commission, whether it’s a mural or an illustration. Seeing your work hanging in someone’s home that isn’t a family member or friend. Gaining that first 100 followers and an online community that supports your work. How does that goal move from the vision board into reality?<a class="image-link image2 is-viewable

    Anytime I make the drive down to Los Angeles from San Francisco, I underestimate the sheer vastness of the concrete and stucco sprawl. Driving three miles can take 40 minutes.

    It’s been a work hard, play even harder summer here. Last weekend, I danced until my ankles bled at Outside Lands to sets from Charli XCX, The Strokes, Wet Leg, Geese, DJO…San Francisco has been feeling especially AI-pilled and soulless lately. Being in a giant crowd, pushing, shoving, laughing, and aching reawakened something for me. Collective effervescence, they call it.
