I call this art but what it really is - is a daily summoning of flow, obsession, creativity, and intensity.
The images created in collaboration with Midjourney and video edits simply help me capture insights, essays, journal entries, and emotions - they help me capture my best self so I can stay on the path of becoming my best self.
I kicked off this process intuitively over a weekend to bring back my darkness: the creativity, intensity, and obsession.
My personal life is full of love & kindness. I humbled my 17 year old angry self so that I could apprentice under masters mentors and monsters and become a loving husband. But in the process I lost my ego, the darkness. I lost the dark thoughts in my head that drove me to be best version of myself.
I went into a period of intense journaling, reflection, and creation (writing, making art, etc) on May 4 to 5, 2024. I came out of that weekend successfully merging my two identities into one.
I entered the third phase of my life on May 5, 2024 where I am both light (radical kindness and love) and darkness (obsessive intensity and creative)- constantly evolving but always remaining in the extreme dualities.
I have full control of my darkness now because of all the love I receive from my wife, family, friends, mentors, strangers, and colleagues.
