Nothing about creativity is black and white.

Yet somehow AI made a lot of us see it that way. You either adapt or you don’t. You stay relevant or you don’t. The grey, the messy middle, joyful, pointless-feeling part of making things… seems like it slowly got squeezed out of the process.

I’ve been making carousels lately. And it has brought back the joy of sharing on social media. Years of learning, bad taste, good taste, starting over, all compressed into something. The grey is the whole point.

So stick around. Because there’s more where this came from. 👀

The scale of this feels a bit unreal. Like I’m stepping into something that doesn’t fully exist… ironically, but still makes sense while you’re in it.

I’ve been experimenting with Firefly Boards recently, building these surreal versions of myself in spaces like this. The idea isn’t to make something perfect, but to get out of your box and do something unusual. I used to collage a lot and I think this is slowly becoming my new playground.

While I’m still figuring it out as I go, I can say that it’s been an interesting space to be in. Tagging some fellow inspiring creatives in the comments - you’re in for a treat!
