The difference between creative and uncreative people (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When experiencing something unusual or beautiful or otherwise striking today, our first instinct is to capture it, share it or both.We might post it immediately to our Stories on Instagram… or take a photo for ourselves, to remember the moment… or get a quick snapshot to send to a friend. In doing so, we preemptively satisfy something specific and important inside of us.You’ve felt it in those moments: that desire to internalize and extend what you’re experiencing. It’s this impulse, sometimes j
Florencia Ornelas can’t stop thinking about Fleabag, the letters of Georgia O’Keeffe & the visual representation of her soul (opens the original)

lives in that same ironic space mymind does: we use the internet to encourage a deeper, more fulfilling life off the internet. Florencia creates by hand, documenting her journey and sharing her insights along the way. I always enjoy the very human, textured aspect of her work, whether it’s illustrations or vision boards or handwritten letters. It’s no surprise she had some equally lovely things on her mind in this interview. <a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://substackcdn.

Read excerpt

Read excerpt
is a noticer. She sees the weaving on an old chair, the layers in a blooming peony at her hairdresser’s, a painted tile on the ground – and she remembers it, draws upon it. You can see how all of it informs her work as the founder and creative director at Loeffler Randall. I’ve always admired the LR brand and have enjoyed seeing Jessie continue building it through her Substack. Now I’m happy to share this glimpse into her mind.<a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://substackcd
Unfinished on purpose (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Substack has given me several brilliant new friends. One of them is Celeste Hartley, whose work has some kind of instant magical soothing effect on me, and whose lovely mind inspired this essay on a call we had together. I’m delighted now to share our thoughts here and on Instagram throughout this week, where Celeste will post some accompanying videos and illustrations she made. There is some irony in our sharing it, which I think appropriately reflects where most of us are sitting on this subje
