Los Angeles based artist.

I have a Master's in Acting, my undergrad in Filmmaking and photography, and I'm working to create a production company that specializes in visual media. I use Tumblr to share my influences as well as the emotional battles that I go through as an artist. And when I say emotional battles, I mean the struggles of trying to create the many stories and images that are trapped in my head.

"And the very best things happen just before the thread snaps."
--Geoffrey Tennant, Slings and Arrows

    Testing out the VSCO iOS app. I only like this filter, but for 99 cents its kind if worth it.

    Testing out a new Cloud storage solution. Unlike Dropbox, this doesn’t take away my clients storage if I share files with them. If you use this referral link, we both get 5GB’s of storage for free on top of the intro 15GB’s. Great deal!

    “We seem to have evolved into a society of mourned and misplaced creativity. A world where people have simply surrendered to (or been beaten into submission by) the sleepwalk of work, domesticity, mortgage repayments, junk food, junk TV, junk everything, angry ex-wives, ADHD kids and the lure of eating chicken from a bucket while emailing clients at 8pm on a weekend.”

    Excerpt from Guardian article about James Rhodes. See the whole article here.

    Thanks to @zackarias for sharing it.

    The Great Ones

    “Everyone sucks. Everyone is struggling with something. Everyone gets knocked down. The great ones get back up. The great ones keep going. The great ones don’t take themselves too seriously. The great ones lend a hand when they can. The great ones don’t sit in self pity. The great ones don’t bitch and moan about everyone else. The great ones put their hand to the plow and do their work.”
