im always tinkering with something up in the old lighthouse. often music making, or other esoterica like tarot reading or software development. i present the fruits on my site aloe.gay. i also like publishing little logs of the projects as i work on them, writing about the process and things i learn and stuff.
i put all my work online for free if it can be distributed that way, which a lot of it can! subscribing to my comradery page is a way to donate regular, sustaining support to my art practice. the money will go to food and shelter and stuff, plus art supplies like capacitors and drumsticks. i have no other day job, things like this and giving music lessons are it ... !
the page is also a way to keep up with what i'm working on via a free email newsletter called moon in review. the newsletter comes out every first-quarter moon and includes a bit about what i'm up to and what i'm thinking about. it comes automatically with a recurring donation, but you can also subscribe to the newsletter without donating. the archive is browsable here on this page!
thank you so much for reading, i'm really grateful for your time. if you find some delight or other value in the things i make, and you have the means, please consider supporting me. i wanna learn everything the workshop has to teach me and share it all with everyone. i think its what im here for
