C. the Rich artist POD.

I recorded a preface for this POD, then scrapped it. Explaining would defeat the purpose. It would interrupt the flow to this incarnation of my creative expression. These dispatches mark the beginning of not so much a new direction but a continued one. Returning to a path I charted decades previous. It is also an invitation. May it meet you where you are. I’m excited you’ve chosen to join me. I don’t get excited too easily.

Who is Unkempt? @unkemptishere

"Unkempt is Here" delves into the intricate interplay between masks, identity, and the appropriation of self-expression. The project challenges conventional notions of appearance and authenticity, exploring the transformative power of masks as conduits for various personas. The term "unkempt" adds a layer of complexity, suggesting a deliberate departure from societal expectations, an embrace of the unconventional, and a celebration of the multifaceted nature of identity.

Sometimes we get upset with something not working that clearly doesn't work because it makes absolutely no sense. So instead of solving the problem we just continue to do the same thing over and over.

In this dispatch I share a track titled Nordic Roots which is over fifteen years old. Here's a reminder to dig into your archive. Release that music music from a decade ago or better. Take a look at those notes you wrote or review any old artwork you've kept. More often than not there's a message from your past self waiting for you.

I couldn't tell you why I cite echinacea as my favorite flower. Last year I try to do some deep diving and figuring it out to no avail; I have not an answer.

Scholes Street Children's Garden is beautiful. I love the purple basil.

I've been trying to wrap my head around this room and all I can do is a little bit at a time. The new plant I brought down is growing. There's a small air filter going as well. Nothing happens overnight. Will be open for visits soon.

Bronx trips aren't invited. I only find my way there for projects with youth or monetary incentives. Still, my time in the Bronx is unnecessary.
