How to be thankful for your life (with one simple reset)

Hey friends, First off, thank you for all the kind words about the documentary on my creative journey. If there’s one thing to take away from the film, it’s that no worthwhile endeavor moves linearly. Every experience you have - no matter how disparate it may seem - connects in a way that can only be understood through the lens of hindsight. So wherever you are in your journey, just know that sometime in the future, you’ll look back on the present as a dot that made a serendipitous...

A documentary on my creative journey 🎥

Hey friends, A few months ago, I shared a written profile on my creative journey. Well, today, I’m excited to share the visual version through a wonderful documentary from the team at ConvertKit. This short film is the result of 3 days of filming, and many hours of post-production. With that said, I’m very happy with how it turned out, as it does a great job conveying how I think about being a creator, and how to navigate the uncertainties of this path. This is the first time I’ve shared my...

why I write about the human condition

Why I write about the human condition ✍️

Hey friends, If you’re anything like me, one of the hardest questions to answer is “What do you do?” It’s one of those inquiries where a huge asymmetry exists between the simplicity of the question and the complexity of the answer. There’s so much about yourself to distill into a response, and the more brief it is, the less authentic it appears to be. With that said, I recognize the utility of summarizing my interests, so earlier this year I tried to do just that. I asked myself how I can...

the boundaries of rationality

The boundaries of rationality 📐

Hey friends, Broadly speaking, I’ve had three phases when it comes to my faith. The first stage spanned from my childhood to my mid-twenties, as I was raised in the Anglican tradition and church was a weekly occurrence. The second stage represented a reversal of belief, where I denounced religion and adopted a rather cynical version of atheism. And the third stage - which is where I’m at now - is one where I neither reject nor embrace religious ideology. I see both its ugliness and its...

compassion is the greatest virtue

Compassion is the greatest virtue 💫

Hey friends, I just got back from a 2-month stay in Korea, and I’m in the process of adjusting back to Los Angeles time. I spent most of those 2 months offline, being in the full presence of my family and building experiences that my future self will be nostalgic for. I have so many thoughts from my time there that will likely weave its way into my work, but for now, I’m allowing these reflections to settle without any greater purpose. The memories themselves are enough. With that said, my...

why having a wedding makes sense

Why having a wedding makes sense 😍

Hey friends, I announced a while back that I was working on a drawing course. I’m often asked about how I create my illustrations, so I wanted to gather all my tips and techniques into a single place. Well, the course is almost done, and I will be releasing it in a couple of weeks. Here’s a screenshot of one of the lessons: If you’re a writer or creator that wants to use drawings to enhance your work, then this course is for you.
