I am a huge fan of Amie McNee! With her book 'We Need Your Art' she inspired me to dare to do what I love the most, making music, and to take it seriously. And I can totally relate with the feeling of not wanting a "real" job So I'm super excited for her new book: 'I don't want a job' that will be released on March 5th

'Hand Made Art Is More Important Than Ever' - new blog post!

My new year's resolution.

Fresh video tut for ya!

Muskulatur aufbau immer wieder eine Schicht.

Ive made several of these lately, each featuring a different word or phrase

Im very proud of the art pieces themselves but im also very unproud of the photos ive taken of them

Since its 2026 now, ive decided the time for letting such compunctions stop me from sharing my art ended with 2025, where so much of it happened

Keep the pressure up, friends
Keep making art about your feelings
Its not over yet
We're not free until we're ALL free

#2026

.. in the unrelenting wash of violence of 2025 that hit day on day on day, most people felt shock and so many of us had frozen up.

But with 2026.. the mood, it shifted..
All across the crowd, folks one-by-one started stepping forward, their resolve, and pose tightened

The message was clear.. These folk werent going anywhere..

One message rang LOUD and CLEAR, in their stances, and in the faces

Hey you, YES YOU, THATS ENOUGH..

BAAACK OFF.

LEAVE THEMM,

THE FUCK,

ALONE.

In that moment, after years of harassment,
the clowns finally had company.

Did you ever not create something because you didn't feel "talented" enough I truly believe "being talented" doesn't. matter. at. all. It's all about the willingness to play

Let there be as many glitches as possible in this matrix

I wish I had started taking my music seriously much earlier in my life. But hey, I am doing it now, and that's what counts! New album coming very soon

Have some music lying around that you wrote or produced yourself Don't be selfish and share it with the world!

I don't believe in being gifted or talented to pursue something creative. I believe in enthusiasm, willingness to play, having fun, and the desire to express yourself. So no matter how "good" you are: make more art!

Day 14

REVOLUTIONARY LETTER # 50

As soon as we submit
to a system based on causality, linear time
we submit, again, to the old values, plunge again
into slavery. Be strong. We have the right to make
the universe we dream. No need to fear science grovelling
apology for things as they are, ALL POWER
TO JOY. which will remake the world.

-- Diane di Prima
