“Tulip Skirt” - First Draft I made so many mistakes on this skirt, I wondered if I should even post it. But then I realized that every mistake I make in my art practice better prepares me for the next thing that’ll go wrong in my life. #fashionsky #artsky #photographysky

I’m excited that my film –Franciscan Contradictions– is an official selection for the San Diego Latino Film Festival – it will screen at the Raíces short film program at the Digital Gym Cinema on Saturday, March 22nd.
Sheeesh this is so detailed!! It’s also cool seeing how your practice helps you grow as an individual, learning things that go beyond just the practice itself. It’s very cyclic, you make art to illustrate metaphors on life, and in return making art brings you metaphors to apply to your life ❤️
“3 Tier Skirt” First Draft I learned so many lessons from this skirt. I learned Patience. I learned how to repair something. And I learned how to accept things for what they are without having to compromise yourself. This skirt has changed my approach to art. #fashionsky #photographysky #artsky

So happy for FLOW winning the Oscar, but also sad Wild Robot didn’t win anything 😢 These last two years the animation category has just been SO STACKED
Do you run a book club? Are you a bookseller? Book scout? Would you like a digital galley of my debut novel THE EDUCATION OF KIA GREER, out May 13 via PRH and called "smart, fearless, romantic, and so very alive" by Casey McQuiston? HIT ME UP.
My “thoughts in my head” to “words on the page” pipeline moves slower than LA traffic during rush hour I swear 🫠 #scriptsky
Idk about anyone else, but I loooove romance. I love planning creative surprises that’ll make my gf all mushy and I love the anticipation of her smile. And selfishly too, I love that she just doesn’t know what’s about to hit her haha. 🤣 ❤️❤️
Whenever I visit @friscojumpman.bsky.social I get pushed to think of and tackle many complex concepts and engage with very interesting perspectives that I’ve never considered before. We also spend hours and hours being the most unserious people too Guess that’s the Gemini in us ♊️😂
So many things are pulling me away from you Gray, but I promise you’re always on my mind
Praying for all the people in the plane crash last night and their loved ones. It’s tragic news
I will produce a short film this year! Speaking it into existence 🗣️
Make a commitment to achieve what you intend to achieve. Do what you say you will do.
“Mama Sang’s Quilt” I come from Black, Southern Textile Artists. Preservation of culture and tradition is a form of resistance. A practice birthed out of necessity now serves as a reminder that the history they’re trying to erase isn’t actually that far away #blackartsky #blacksky #photographysky
I need to start baking in blueski scrolling into my morning planning cus in a blink it’ll be 30 mins and now I’m running late 😅
There’s too many good ones, but this one from #fionnaandcake has been stuck in my head since I saw it🥺💔💔 #cartoonsky
Writing on the weekend: life is so great. Type type type, la la la, this is so fun and relaxing 😄 During the week: Ok, 37 minutes until work starts. Let’s polish two more scenes. Oh no, my boss already emailing me. Why is he emailing me? Ok I still have 36 mins. What am I doing again? 😵💫 #scriptsky
Yea sex is cool but have you ever lived in a non-fascist, non-tech oligarch society?
Instead of a little angel and little devil above my shoulders, I think it’s one that wants to joke around, and another that wants to philosophize, and both make good arguments tbh
I’m still struggling to grapple with a studio like A24 using AI in The Brutalist. They’ve always been a studio that I admired so much, creating some of my favorite artistic films. But if even they used AI, what does that mean for the future of film? #filmsky

The rewriting process is scary cus you’re no longer in the “it’s ok if it’s garbage they call it a vomit pass for a reason” phase 😬😨 #scriptsky #writingcommunity
Art as a form of resistance, education and solidarity is becoming more and more important
My friend @friscojumpman.bsky.social told me about Hegel’s Dialectic and the collective conscious. I then recalled John August’s description of story also centering this. Now I’m framing my thinking that shifting the collective conscious is like transforming a character (or millions of them).
We will continue to recognize people as they wish to be recognized and continue to affirm their right to the existence that validates their personhood. I will accept nothing less.
