Thoughts on The Exorcist (book) and vibes in the air 23.01.2025

Just some scattershot thoughts on vibes in the air and the artists work to pick them up. Apologies - I'm filming this as a video and I'm slowly adjusting to making stuff up while filming myself (in the car) which blocks me a little. I'll get there.

Balancing cynicism and magic 16.01.2025

Trying to find more magic in my work. Maybe that requires more visits to the country and respect for my dreams. But without being boring.

Becoming an artist by becoming bad at everything else 09.01.2025

I turned down promotions, relationships, sensible decisions over decades until I'd painted myself into a corner. For better or worse or better.

Tapping the magic of being an old fart 02.01.2025

I forget I'm an old fart sometimes. Most art is tapping the inner child. But I gotta learn to embrace this mulch heap of years I've existed through.

Australian art legend Michael Leunig's influence and advice to me 29.12.2024

Michael Leunig's email he wrote me on finding one's voice is the last 5 minutes if you want to skip to it. Michael Leunig's died a week ago. He was a massive influence on me as a kid and taught me that humans could actually make magic.

Fast witty thinkers VS slow deep thinkers 26.12.2024

Fast thinking is rewarded in life. Slow thinking is rewarded much later in life.. Without writing my thoughts down, nothing would happen. I need to build on thoughts in front of me.

Turning the love of art into a job 19.12.2024

Been writing a crime novel. Well a whole page over a year. I'm enjoying tinkering with with the few paragraphs I have. Don't know if I'll ever publish it. But it's fun.

You need a thin and thick skin to write and promomote your work 14.11.2024

It's a contradiction to hold brutality and tenderness while writing, And promoting your work can feel like shouting about your whispers. You need both. Not only for writing but to promote your work, too.

Writing breakthroughs have no linear progression 07.11.2024

A bunch of times I thought i'd plateaued with my writing. And then, bam! Another level. It can happen after years of banging your head on the same wall, and it can come all at once.

Life and death and writing 12.09.2024

I've always loved the idea of radical acceptance, or whatever new-agey people call it. I struggle with it, so writing about it always helps me understand it, grasp it..

Taking a break from writing 05.09.2024

Relaxing is hard work for me. Sometime I feel like who I am is too tied up in the stuff I make. So it's interesting to force myself to just be a person without the magic of creativity.

Writing my new book with small-big thoughts (out today!) 29.08.2024

"YOU'RE GOING TO BE OK... " is probably my favourite book. You can find it in the link below. It's sorta fitting this is me 100th episode. The book is made from bits and pieces from all my poems across all my books. Just the juiciest most combustible lines.

Stuff learned from my first spoken word performance 22.08.2024

Well, that was a leap off a cliff. It went better than I expected, Lots of learning from it. Parts when really well, some not so well. But overall I suprised myself.

In praise of reading not to learn 15.08.2024

I once read only to learn. Everything else felt like a waste of time. But learning also brings me anxiety. I love reading genre crime fiction, it lowers my anxiety, it takes me away from myself, the world. My two current crime fiction/psychological thriller writers: Michael Connelly Frieda Mcfadden And Thomas Harris - Red Dragon (part of the Hannibal Lecter anthology is absolutely exquisite) My ne...
