“No one is coming to save you.” I disagree ! I believe many people made up of many small moments come to save pieces of you , even if just briefly. The mentor who believed in you . The friend who said they’re proud of you. The family member that makes you laugh . The random person who held the door for you out of nothing but kindness. The teacher who took extra time to help you understand. The person who smiled at you when you walked into a store. The little kid who looks up to you. The person who randomly complimented you. Being “saved” isn’t about being whisked away and all your hardships gone, it’s about the people and things that remind you life is not all hardships, it is kindness, love, gentleness, softness, care, thoughtfulness. It is many moments made up of your lifetime that keeps you going and showing you the world is still beautiful, and will always be. Despite.

OiZine#2 = a digital zine complementary to the blogpost "CONTENT"

"Two summers ago, in the height of side hustle culture, the thought hit me: start my own creative studio. Not because I needed another income stream. I’d been making — and selling — art for years and I was already dabbling in digital form. So why not? Why not give it a proper home?

And then… life happened. At the end of that summer, my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer. Everything else went into deep freeze.

Fast forward. Three months ago, I had knee surgery. While my leg was propped up for a couple of week, I knew exactly what I’d do with that downtime. I built the whole thing from scratch. And two months ago, I hit publish. 

What should’ve felt like excitement, felt more like anxiety. Because these days, a website is never just a website. You’re supposed to hook it up to social media, feed it with content, drive traffic. And that’s the one thing I’d been trying to avoid.

I don’t like social media. It’s not social. It’s media. And it sucks. But I did want people to actually find the site.

So I took a page from Killer Mike — plot, plan, strategize, organize, mobilize — and started reworking. I rebuilt the homepage. Gave the studio page more vibe. Added a shop page linking to Etsy and Gumroad. Rewrote the about page. Set up Pinterest, Tumblr and Linktree. Kept Instagram on life support. 

Made three BiG [DiG] pieces. Two OiDiGi’s. And some toy robots with a couple eight year olds.

Now the site feels right. Prints on Etsy. Digital downloads on Gumroad. Posters, postcards, stickers on RedBubble. Instagram and Pinterest for sharing. Tumblr for process blogging. I even simplified my whole workflow — mock-ups, uploads, posts — so I can actually spend more time making than managing.

Sales? Zero. Likes? Barely. Followers? Nope. But here’s the thing: I’m content. Because in the end, I’d rather be content making — than making content."

I made a collection of bird ornaments, each one representing a species we can spot from our home, at the public pond out front and the birds in our backyard. I created them to celebrate this place where I finally feel at home and to enjoy making something crafty just for me again. :D

The backyard birds. Once I varnished and find nice threads for them all I'll make a better photo of them all together :)
