Collaboration

It’s become trendy and, in some circles, corporate speak, to use words like “collaborate” to mean “work together”, without regard for context or implication.

On this website, “collaboration” means “shared creative work between people as part of or constituting an Artistic project or event.”

Collaboration, for me, means play between open creative entities for the purpose of making great Work.

If you are an Artist (in any medium, platform, or format) and wish to collaborate, don’t mess around with contact forms or emails. Stalk me on social media, please.

Saying no to corporations is fun. Saying no to Artists (and open-hearted wannabes) is not.

Don’t “hard sell” yourself or your work.

Simply reach out on Instagram and tell me that you’d like to work together. If you have a venue, studio, organization, an actionable business plan, a budget, or believe that we can make something greater than the sum of our parts, by all means mention it.

I’ll probably say no and might feel terrible about it. I tend to be fussy and eccentric. And while I have ecclectic tastes and like a wide variety of styles, genres, and ideas; I tend to vibe with few and I need to really connect in order to play in a spirit of collaboration.
