Iterations is the audio version of my occasional journal/newsletter where I share stories, personal experiences, and ongoing questions around creativity, process, and making things that matter. Some episodes are more reflective, some are more practical, and some are just me thinking out loud and trying to make sense of things.

For most of my life, I’ve been trying to reconcile two very different ideas about success. One was rooted in practicality, achievement, and outcomes. The other was rooted in curiosity, learning, and exploration.

  • He will be missed.

    Thank you for the Father Bill episode, hearing his voice at the end made me sob. I’m honored to say that he was a good friend of mine and there isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think of something that he would love and reach for my phone and then remember that can’t call him 😥 I’m a big collector of his work and have collaborated with him on a few projects and just having his works around me everyday seems to bring me peace just like the man himself. He said in his last print interview “I ... more

    Have you had ideas you knew where great - maybe even one image that starts the idea? But can’t move beyond that? I ‘ve decided it’s to ward off disappointment. Potential versus reality. R

  • AI-

    I think transformative is the key word that AI removes from one’s art - How am I using two examples:

    I haven’t used an AI generator program like Midjourney but Adobe has neural

    Filters where you can take a color palette of just about anything and apply to your image. Similarly to a LUT or preset, it works well.

    My RIP program QIMAGE Is using AI to sharpen and improve my prints. , here I don’t have a choice.

    Thanks for the 💭. R
