introducing:raw data
a zone for paid subscribers with raw inspiration + practical artistic advice
I’d like to introduce something new for you. You being the paid subscribers.
I’ve been thinking a lot about what I want to create here and what I keep coming back to, is I just want a place to be. I’ve been feeling the pressures (self-inflicted) of gearing my writing to reach wider audiences and it’s making me lose the spark of connection within myself.
At the end of the day, writing to me is being in communication with something greater. It is an opening into frequencies crested by divinity. Sometimes these frequencies, when scribed, don’t make sense. They might be highly abstract or poetic. That’s my favorite kind of writing. Writing unfiltered by logic. Ravaged by the rawness of living.
That’s where the seeds of my ideas realize themselves. In these wild, live thought forms. This raw data. However, with these raw, wild ideas, comes a practicality that is necessary. A technique to match the expression. The abstract comes into form through the physical.
My goal is not to live in the abstract — I want a tangible output. I’m an artist that is interested in the dimension that overlays art into entertainment. Meaning, I have no desire to create work that is not filled by raw expression. At all times I am in service to the Real thing.
So, welcome to Raw Data — where each week I’ll take an abstract entry from my diary and pair it alongside practical artistic advice.
Two things are necessary to be an artist. The purity of your expression and the belief/applied action to make it real. You need to rummage your hands in the divine, but you also need to bring your hands back down to Earth to work. To make what you saw real.
So, let’s get into this week’s practical advice. Today, we’ll be focusing on clarity.
How being clear can be the difference between realizing your dream project or having it lie dormant for years.
