✨Today's drop is an all time favorite of mine ✨
In the heart of the bustling metropolis, a homeless man sits amidst a flurry of pigeons, their wings beating in a rhythm that seems to echo the pulse of the city itself. Despite his circumstances, he finds solace and companionship in the feathered creatures that flock around him. In this chaotic urban landscape, he reminds us of the power of simple connections and the resilience of the human spirit. A reminder that even in the darkest times, there is still beauty and hope to be found.

- "TONKA" - a collaboration with Vancouver Film
School! (2021)
VFS posted this wonderful silent animation and I reached out because i thought it would be wonderful if I scored it myself! They said yes and the rest is history! All things musical done by me.
Here's to many more compositions& musical collaborations
- Hang ‘em up
- “I’ll Try Not to Hate You”
I’ve never spent so much time on a song. I wrote, produced, mixed, and mastered it in my bedroom. I did about 40 different mix passes, re-produced it over 10 times, & barely slept over this song. I wrote it the day after a breakup, trying not to be as bitter as I was. I also crocheted an outfit for the cover art, with the song title sewn into the skirt.
Thank you for listening, I hope you like it as much as I do ❤️

- Been really enjoying the content on Lens recently. Thank you for posting here and believing in decentralized social.
- gm, i’ve noticed some recent posts here where people are talking about wanting more quality art.
how do you define good art?
Just think, if Artemisia Gentileschi, Monet, Frida Kaloh, Matisse, or Duchamp cared about what people said, we wouldn’t have their amazing art today.
Great art isn’t created by those who listen to the critics; it’s made by those brave enough to be criticized and hated, yet still create what they want.
Keep creating. Trust your instincts.

- AMERICAN FARE 🇺🇸
1/1 OPEN FOR 24 HOURS ⏰
20K BONSAI 🌱
In the heart of Times Square, amidst the rain-streaked glow, a lone silhouette occupies a taxi cab, a silent observer of the city's ceaseless rhythm. Through the misted windows, his presence hints at stories untold, moments of solitude amidst the urban cacophony. In this fleeting moment captured in time, he becomes a symbol of anonymity and introspection, a solitary figure navigating the currents of metropolitan life.

Wanderin’
This is a straight of out of camera, unedited photograph captured with a circuitbent camera I made myself.
Taken in NY during NFTNYC 2024. I was sponsored by Shillr to come speak at a panel and check out some of my circuitbent photography on display at Triangle Loft/Lume Studios.
Circuitbending is the art of soldering connections in electronics in ways unintended by the manufacturer.
Enjoy ☺️
