Welcome back, folks! This week Colorado visual artist extraordinaire Sean Powers shares his creative process with us. “The process of creating my work is sort of like a cross between narrating with imagery and watching an image spontaneously emerge through paint. I’m interested in the literal and figurative nature of an image; the way different… Continue reading Visual Artist Sean Powers

Singer * Songwriter * Activist
This is the second installment of me sharing the creative thought process of others. Enjoy! “My creative process starts with a nagging feeling of being unsettled, the kind that won't leave me alone no matter how many times I try to brush it aside or ignore it. It is a feeling I can't name until… Continue reading Singer * Songwriter * Activist
Inspiration Move Me Brightly*
Greetings All! With some deep thought (still healing and getting more mobile 😊) this summer I will be switching up the blog. There will still be book updates, yes, I am still working on Maximum Trouble, and am hobbling to a concert or two, however I thought it would be fun to introduce other creatives… Continue reading Inspiration Move Me Brightly*
The Art Of Breaking Rules
We have so many rules that we function by. Life has rules. Prose has rules. Heck, everyone I know have rules. Rules have overtaken our lives. But we need rules, no? Maybe? Yes? Where was I going with this? Oh yes, I remember now ... In college I was taught a specific way to construct… Continue reading The Art Of Breaking Rules
Snow Day Writing…

State Of Bliss
I really hate to tempt fate here yet for the last week or so I have experienced what can only be described as a pure state of bliss. I can’t explain the smiles at nothing, the occasional break into song (Banana Pancake song by Jack Johnson in case you were wondering), or dancing in my… Continue reading State Of Bliss
Waffles & Weed
The past two days I have climbed to the top of two very different mountains. Yesterday I used my feet while today a ski lift helped with the ride. Although two different experiences, similarities are present. Take for instance how Mother Nature humbles us. Hiking the side of a muddy, rocky, and more notably, steep… Continue reading Waffles & Weed
Feeling Grateful
Last Saturday night we ventured out to one of my favorite venues, The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, New York. The theatre is a restored art deco theater that has hosted many of rock’s legends. The building is just shy of a century old. In the tradition of sixties liquid light shows, patterns are projected on… Continue reading Feeling Grateful
The Missing Zen
The last few months have been tough. Blog posts have been sporadic as I allowed others to dictate my time. I should clarify that; dictate my spare, creative time. Last winter I completed Passenger – The Only Game In Town, in a cute café along the Connecticut shore. I fell in love with the vibe… Continue reading The Missing Zen
How 9-11 Changed My Perspective
On September 11th 2001 I was driving up I-95 heading to Logan Airport in Boston. Traffic was a mess. Traffic in the Northeast is always a mess. So I opted for a Grateful Dead bootleg instead of listening to the radio. I already knew about the traffic. I was in the middle of it! I… Continue reading How 9-11 Changed My Perspective
