Matisse’s Head, White and Rose (1914) has been described as a “studio painting” — experimental, perhaps unsuccessful, or sits awkwardly alongside an artist’s signature works. I’ve been working on a couple of such paintings myself: oddities that probably belong only in the studio. #studionotes

I don’t design buildings — I make them, because making is about listening, not control.

Why branding and design trends are the weather not the climate. Branding and design trends come and go, but strong brands build for climate, not weather. Here’s why longevity beats prediction lists.

Design trends are weather.
Brand strategy is climate.

As 2026 “trend lists” start rumbling in, remember (and I love a metaphor): storms come and go, but strong brands build for the long season ahead.

Being an artist isn’t about inspiration - it’s about persistence. The Bear gets this right: failure, chaos, recalibration, the joy when it works. Read the new Blackbird Rook newsletter.

A corner of a studio with weavings and text-based drawings (concrete poetry?) on the walls. Books are stacked on top of the short wall and on a cart. On a wooden loom bench sit four cards of my artworks.

Summer studio themes: translation, transliteration, poetry, musicality, community, comfort, thread. All things that touch me.

Here’s a video log of last nights progress.

The cleaver is coming along, and for a bunch of flat planes it’s been fun to paint.

Still a ways to go, but cheers to a long weekend and plenty of creative time.

“The guy’s whole life boils down to he misses his sled?! Are you fucking kidding me? Make it a huge diamond.” #studionotes

“A falcon from Malta?! It should be the biggest goddam diamond you ever saw, and from a place someone actually heard of.” #studionotes

“What if it wasn’t Gwyneth Paltrow’s head in the box, but an enormous diamond?” #studionotes

“Why help these people escape? What if one of them knew where a diamond was buried BUT SCHINDLER DIDN’T KNOW WHICH ONE?” #studionotes

“I’m just throwing this out, but what if instead of saving that private, they were after a huge diamond?” #studionotes

“What if he has to get back to the future because now he knows where this ginormous diamond is buried?” #studionotes
