Closer to home.
It’s been interesting becoming a new dad, I wrote some steps of my personal experience as a father. So growing pains and things Holden has shown me. Not to mention support from my partner Dana and puppy Tigo. Some takeaways: I’m still learning as a parent, Stick to the schedule, Let gravity do what it does best, Listen and truly be a present parent, There’s always time for a book before bed, and Enjoy parenthood.
Not added, but I should also note… Walks are a must and make coffee.
And in other news.
My friend Chris and I have been working on putting out some new personal work. We’ve been thinking of a way to house these items in a curated collection. The idea is to focus on limited quantities and reduce waste in production.
Introducing Intervals Shop. A side project by All Day Dreaming creatives, Chris Ortiz, and me.
The purpose of Intervals is to investigate space/studio through a form of mobility. We’ll be selling items through the website and (weather permitting) you’ll find the collection propped up at local festivals and pop-up shops.
