I helped co-found an old timey baseball team in my town for a festival this summer. To help promote it, I came up with a fun process for making this little Steamboat Willie style cartoon. In a nutshell: Designed the character and title cards by hand in Illustrator > made character variations and start and end frames for animation sequences, and backgrounds with Astra > stitched animation sequences together with Kling > finished myself in after effects > Did a final pass for film artifacts and jitters with Codex. A little silly, but some pretty fun late night tinkering. Original song by Family Shiloh from Austin Texas.

"So, friends, every day do something that won’t compute. Love the Lord. Love the world. Work for nothing. Take all that you have and be poor. Love someone who does not deserve it." Have a good rest, Mr. Berry.

When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be, I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free. RIP Wendell Berry

Favorite new artist in this app.
In the crimson land where silence speaks Under the blaze of the nomad sun, Shadows turns to portals on ancient rocks Whisper of the desert wind caressing the sand. Carrying secrets of the People (Dîné) Through the doors of perception, the chant of the mothers and fathers echoes in the womb, As the shadows lay taller than our souls. Conveying the pass of time We let our gaze drifting to the dark To rest and calm our tormented minds Dibé Yazhi 44x55 inches Oil on linen Dibé Yázhi is the Dîné (Navajo) name for that rock who is located in the heart of Monument Valley in Arizona. It means little sheep.

Made this app for myself, because I wanted the ability to layer white noise, chill beats, soundscapes, and binaural beats. There are a bunch of free sounds and a fun “magic soundscape” feature… try it out! apps.apple.com/us/app/glowm/… #whitenoise #brownnoise #chillbeats #soundscapes #sleep #focus

Summer vacation report: The fam went on a roadtrip up the east coast, and I built an entire app along the way. 🌙 Meet Glowm: A white noise, chill beats, binaural beats, soundscape mixer and abstract night light for iPhone. You can easily customize and save your mixes. Tons of sounds that you can mix however you want and save the mixes. The goal is to keep adding sounds every week until this becomes a really robust mixer. Origin story is just that I listen to this kind of thing all day while I work and all night while I sleep and I hated every white noise app out there… so I just made my own. Enjoy. apps.apple.com/us/app/glowm/… #glowm #whitenoise #soundscape #indieapp #focusmusic #appdesign

First Goldman Sachs, now Fidelity. Wall Street’s biggest heavyweights are publicly backing CLARITY. Major financial firms recognize that a clear, comprehensive market structure benefits everyone—from retail investors to institutional capital. Who's next?
Fidelity urges Senate passage of the CLARITY Act. The time is now for clear rules of the road that are essential to strengthening investor confidence, providing certainty for market participants, and reinforcing U.S. leadership in global digital asset markets.

After being laid off earlier this summer, a lot nights have been randomly spent working on a white noise app. I listen to soundscapes, white noise and binaural beats often while I work, and I was always frustrated with how bad or expensive every white noise app was. #whitenoise
