Lost at E Minor and a heavy week.

A couple of weeks ago I was invited to write some guest posts for the culture blog Lost at E Minor, a favorite net destination of mine since before they helped spread around the video I directed for Firefly Effect back in '09 or something. I was humbled, and took the opportunity to genuinely sit down and think of what inspires me. Two posts are up so far, as well as my introductory post, and more will be published over the coming weeks. For now, here's a tid bit on my friend and inspiration Sam Wallman - http://www.lostateminor.com/2012/01/13/sam-wallmans-comic-book-being-born-is-going-blind/

and my faaaaaavorite band Born Gold - http://www.lostateminor.com/2012/01/13/born-gold-a-band-out-of-alberta-canada/

And here's the silly intro I wish I'd rewritten! - http://www.lostateminor.com/2012/01/19/cartoonist-musician-and-animator-dave-mahler/

I'll add the others here as they're posted.



I've been listening to lots of Sufjan Stevens which has helped me get through a really strange set of feelings which came on as a result of a video, my reactions to my friends, and the uncertainty of the coming year; I make plans at least a year in the future, and I get very anxious when I don't see them to fruition. Mum says I beat myself up too much, but I just say I'm motivated. Hopefully things will work out. Or rather, hopefully I'll learn to modify my aspirations. I wish I could play guitar.
