I want to force people to re-evaluate the way they use these three pounds of meat inside their head.
Sometimes that’s about provoking: it’s about telling them that brainstorming doesn’t work; that although we live in an age that worships focus over daydreaming, sometimes that’s exactly backwards.
I think failing is the best way to keep you grounded, curious, and humble.
Success is dangerous because often you don’t understand why you succeeded. You almost always know why you’ve failed. You have a lot of time to think about it.
Don’t bullshit yourself about what you should be doing versus what you really want to be doing.

‘Mindsurfing’ with Seymour Magazine
The kind people at Seymour Magazine invited me to take part in their Mindsurfing series, a collection of mini-interviews with emerging or young artists.
I’ve never given an interview before but I gave it a go and tried my best not to sound like a total fool. Full interview and more available over at Seymour Mag.
We unfortunately live in a corporate world where group decision making is made to avoid failure rather than to achieve success.
I was lucky enough to team up with the awesome David Terranova and shoot Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs’ new video.

The camera is arguably one of the most important of all inventions.
It is the single tool that has the ability to stop time, record history, generate art, tell stories, and communicate messages that transcend language like nothing else ever conceived.
