'Digitus Impudicus' from the Sturgeon Moon Cycle issue of The Liminal—tracing the middle finger’s rebellious roots from Roman gladiators to medieval archers, now a quiet protest with a scrunchie twist!

I've resurrected my email newsletter 'the Liminal'. It drops on each new moon.

It is a creative almanac exploring art & design, and is inspired by nature.

First batch of Pantagruel's Reverie T-shirts is in!

Pulled from the tattered pages of an obscure 16th-century volume known as Pantagruel’s Dreams, these curious woodcuts once adorned the margins of satire and surrealism. Their original meanings were never clearly explained—left to ferment in the imaginations of viewers for centuries.

Ruin is not always a consequence — sometimes it’s a signal. A warning. A choice. Recklessness can be deliberate. Abandonment, a necessity. Vengeance and vision may blur in smoke, but flames illuminate as they consume. And choice becomes fuel when paired with intention.

A moment lost, a chance missed, a future never realized — the haunting refrain of hindsight echoes in every step. Steinbeck understood it well: “Of all the words of mice and men, the saddest are…

it might have been."

Feeling troubled? A bit harried? Is "too much is too much” — just too much sometimes? Or maybe you’re wildly aware that everything’s been going a little too well as of late. It’ll all come crashing down at any minute. There is only one thing for certain, and that is:

Uncertainties Await!

Confidence isn't about fitting in - it's about embracing your quirks. And in the words of Bill Murray, "The more relaxed you are, the better you are at everything."

Let your freak flag fly!

Movement is often mistaken for progress. Wandering can be aimless, chaotic, revelatory—or pointless. Not every journey leads to a shining truth, and not every traveler finds what they’re looking for — regardless of how noble or charming they may appear.
