“As children, we all live in a world of imagination, of fantasy, and for some of us that world of make-believe continues into adulthood.”
― Jim Henson

I am an artist, designer, and filmmaker. I love making dreamy ideas into immersive realities.

Happy Birthday, Ms. Marshall. Thanks for the liste Happy Birthday, Ms. Marshall. Thanks for the listening pleasure, artistic inspiration, and spiritual guidance since I was about 16. I remember a friend put “He War” on a mix CD for me. I loved it. I listened to it over and over again. A few months later I bought “You Are Free” on CD from @jacksmusicshop. I still remember the feeling of driving home on the Parkway, summer sun beating down, rocking out to the album as it spun in my car’s stereo. It was even better than I expected it to be! The thrill of discovering a new (to me) artist combined with the feeling of freedom that only your first summer with a license can summon was a natural high. All these years and sound evolutions later, I’m still a fan. Not only do I love the music itself, I love that she proves that you can be shy and sensitive, you can have demons, and you can still be a successful artist. You don’t have to be perfectly put together at all times. You just have to have the urge to create and then you have to act on it. If anything, I love her even more for sharing her struggles and being willing to be vulnerable in public.

It’s #femalefilmmakerfriday and this week I watc It’s #femalefilmmakerfriday and this week I watched Radha Blank’s masterful feature film debut “The 40 Year Old Version.” There is a lot to love here - more than I can fit in an Instagram post! Ms. Blank may have had to wait until 40 to get her big break, but along the way she honed her writing, directing, and acting skills to perfection. She is clearly a multi-talented artist at the top of her game and confident in her choices. The gorgeous 35 mm black and white film and artistic editing make this movie a treat for the eyes. These stylistic choices recall some classic Gotham-based directors. However, the characters depicted here are radically different than those we’re used to seeing onscreen. Unapologetically Black, female, plus-sized, and middle-aged, Radha’s alter ego (also named Radha) moves through a heightened but fully-formed world populated by characters that feel real. Her journey is dappled with self-discovery, pain, confusion, and comedic relief. I laughed, I cried, I danced, I felt inspired to keep fighting the good fight. However, this is far from a simple feel good movie. It directly confronts the audience on the issues of systemic racism, access in the arts, ageism, sexism, gentrification, and economic iniquity. Blank expertly balances the entertaining and fantastical with the raw and painfully real. I would recommend this film to all movie lovers, but especially fellow creatives based in NYC.

Collage I made for @believe716, one of the angels Collage I made for @believe716, one of the angels who run @rub_ulad. Rubulad is the community art space where I have my art studio/production office but more than that it’s a home away from home for me and many others. I’m so grateful that I’ve had the wonderful Rubulad crew to help me get through the isolation and anxiety of 2020. Rubulad has also provided the community with inventive, affordable, and joyful socially distant events this year. Once this whole pandemic thing is over, they’ll be back to hosting regular parties, concerts, plays, comedy, classes, activism, and more. But in the meantime there are bills to pay!  I know it’s been a tough year for everyone, but if you happen to have some extra cash please consider putting it towards a Rubulad membership on With Friends. There are so many cool, creative perks on there that only Rubulad could come up with! They are three days away from the end of their campaign so now is the time to support this underground gem and the many artists associated with it. Link in bio.

I wanted to thank @sokothecat for releasing Feel F I wanted to thank @sokothecat for releasing Feel Feelings this year because it was the album I’ve listened to the most over the past 365 days (thanks @last_fm) and it really helped me get through it all. I wanna thank all the artists who managed to create stuff this year and release it into the wilds of 2020, despite the challenges we’ve all faced. Your work matters and it helps! And to everyone who tried to create this year but couldn’t, you matter too! I’m grateful I was able to continue to be creative this year but there were also many hours spent in bed or on the couch feeling hopeless & overwhelmed or sitting at my desk not being able to focus or get stuff done. I just don’t generally post about that on social media! The point is, the struggle is real but we made it. No matter what else we did or didn’t do, we made it to the other side of the most challenging year of most of our lives. And that in itself is something to celebrate! ✨

I designed a website for my boss earlier this year I designed a website for my boss earlier this year, and it’s the happiest I’ve ever been with my own web design work. I especially love the plant graphics, inspired by my client’s love of green. 🌱 (I made the logo as well.) Check it out at www.jwunlimitedfilms.com
