the START

It’s one of those mornings where I stumbled into my office without a concrete plan on what was going to happen in the next few hours. But I did look forward to reading my friend Scott Mansfield’s newsletter which I had spotted in my inbox. He has been sending out a fantastic monthly blog post titled “Stillness”. It came as a free email newsletter and I always looked forward to it. He now made the choice to move it to Substack. I was intrigued since I had also been toying with the idea of implementing some sort of paywall for my creative outputs. My zine, the PEANUT BUTTER SANDWICH PROGRAM, was an initial contender.

Reading Scott’s account of moving to Substack and looking around on his profile I realized that a subscription service was available on my website’s account. And I dove in…

So welcome to this new venture. It will not be titled “the PEANUT BUTTER SANDWICH PROGRAM” but simply “the PROGRAM”. A monthly video chronicling work, musings, play and maybe some features. New artwork and a blog with diary entries rounding out the experience.

I am hoping this will be a resource for you to understand my operation, me as a person and artist as well as some entertainment.
