Some days, creativity doesn’t wait. It tugs. It insists. It asks you to trust the moment more than the plan.
The video below takes you behind the scenes of how a small zine came to life—fingerpainted flowers, smeared paint, washi tape reinforcements, and all. It wasn’t something I meant to make. It simply arrived.
Earlier that morning, a line in a letter from writer Alex Dobrenko stayed with me—about form, about getting lost in the middle of making, about the click that comes when you realize you weren’t lost at all… just a little homesick for yourself.
That was enough to pull me back to the table.
So I set aside my to-do list, grabbed a scrap of plaid paper, and followed the feeling. What emerged was a field of flowers—and the best kind of clarity.
The video isn’t polished or prepped. It’s paint-smeared and honest. It’s what presence looks like when it shows up unannounced and asks to be trusted.
I hope it reminds you: you don’t need a plan to begin. Just a willingness to follow what’s already blooming inside you.
