About more than just myself. No ads, no clickbait, just some semi-decent omnifarious media.
Personal, sometimes painful, but always with purpose. Why I call this corner of the internet, the BSD.
Have something you want to show or say? We can package it together. The world should see.
IT IS A SPACE, inspired by the work of all great collectives, where by offering a little corner of the internet for anyone to share what they want to share, those who may not have an avenue, the tech to bring it forth, and/or think their work, their voice, is not inspiring, may be convinced otherwise.
NOT A PROMISSORY NOTE, a fee-for-service, nor a business transaction, it is funded by the love of art and expression, the need to make and share, and anyone, who agrees to these guidelines, is encouraged to do so.
OPEN TO THOSE WITH ALL skills and passions, technical training and backgrounds. I’m not sure yet if any of this will work. It has for others. For me it’s an experiment and perhaps acute autophobia, but I figured if I were to do this, I may as well not do it alone, and learn a little about collaboration on the way.
BECAUSE DAMN, YOU’RE TALENTED. You really are. I intend to share writing of all genres, adventures via photo-stories, atypical film reviews, interviews, collaborations, and any other random mediation of my thoughts feelings. Intrigued? Go here for a visual list. The hope is not so much about an audience seeking this out - and it's definitively not about making money. I guess it's just about the need to make and share, help figure out this world we live in, and do it somewhat together.
I'LL SAY WHAT I WANT TO SAY and I'll show what I love, and instead of it doing what it does now, sitting lonely on an external hard drive, where I can’t show my mom - it’s housed in this beautiful place under a logo that I drew, that I built from scratch. Packaged for me, packaged for the world, primed for your work, and primed for collaboration. So let’s create like no one’s judging.
