Over the past few days I’ve been tracking down my old mentors from university and the school of life to pressure test my cultural manifesto in preparation for my upcoming talk at Deliriant Futures. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #academics⁣ #schooloflife⁣ #schoolofhardknocks⁣ #mentors⁣ #personalhero⁣ #neverstoplearning⁣ #culturaltheory⁣ #mediastudies⁣ #artandculture⁣ #artteachers⁣ #artschool⁣ #digitalnomads⁣ #artdiscover https://www.instagram.com/p/CpVeb15Oeal/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Turret is one of the very first chapter books I remember receiving as a gift as a little boy. I'm not sure if that was before or after The Rescuers (1977) was released, but Margery Sharp (1905-1991) was a genius -- and so was Garth Williams, one of the most recognizable illustrators of his day.

A Grandfather’s Legacy: The Man Who Shaped My Life

Describe a man who has positively impacted your life. Introduction They say that some people leave a mark so deep on your life that even their absence cannot erase it. For me, that person is my grandfather. Though he is no longer with us, his wisdom, kindness, and unyielding strength continue to guide me every day. This is not just a tribute to a man I deeply admired; it’s an acknowledgment of…

That time I met Jesus. Or rather, Ted Neeley who played Jesus in the 1973 film version of Jesus Christ Superstar. And therefore become the template for how I pictured Jesus as a kid in the 70s and 80s being raised by hippie parents! I’m pleased to say he was incredibly sweet and warm and for the few minutes we spoke, I felt like he was entirely present and interested. And not just because I literally towered over him!! #jcs #jesuschristsuperstar #tedneeley #childhoodmemories #personalhero #hippiekid #easter #happyeaster https://www.instagram.com/p/CNQe5OUH5s6/?igshid=tipthxkpgup4

When I was in primary school we were asked to draw our own superhero. Through the years I keep revisiting the drawing, and I always end up drawing a new version. I decided to start again today as a reminder to myself to never stop being my own hero, and to push myself constantly, in every way. I might continue this for my stream tonight, but we'll see if any other inspiration strikes! . . . . . #wip #wipart #wipartwork #digitaldrawing #digitalart #digitalartwork #artoninsta #instaart #artistoninsta #instaartist #personalhero #heroart #artstreamer #art #artwork #heroes #beyourownhero #girlhero https://www.instagram.com/p/BkhVb_9A5qT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ngjq5kv12gy0

“As you move through this life and this world you change things slightly, you leave marks behind, however small. And in return, life-and travel-leaves marks on you. Most of the time, those marks-on your body and heart-are beautiful. Often, though, they hurt.” - Anthony Bourdain.

Most of us are too afraid to get knocked down because they fear getting up and having to face themselves. We make jokes most often times because we lack the very thing we are ridiculing. THE GETUP!

Siempre he sentido una admiración profunda por Bob Ross; pienso que en su programa, más que enseñar a pintar, enseñaba acerca de la vida. Me hizo muy feliz poder convertirla en playera y stickers para poder compartirla con ustedes. Gracias a todos los que adquirieron una pieza.

Kirk meets a personal hero.

This man right here -- Sid Meier -- is, easily, one of the most influential people in my entire life.  His brilliance at game design has kept me glued to my screen for countless hours upon end playing everything from Civilization to my favorite PC game of all time, Pirates! Gold.  I wrote to Sid last year to thank him for all of his work and for having made my life so much more fun because of it.  Great man! #KenCollects #SidMeier #gamedesigner #videogames #personalhero #MicroProse #Firaxis #2KGames #Civilization #SidMeiersCivilization #Pirates #SidMeiersPirates #PiratesGold #RailroadTycoon #AlphaCentauri #autograph #autographs #autographed #autographcollection #autographcollector #auto #signed #signature #signatures #8x10 #8x10s https://www.instagram.com/p/B7irO8ipNRQ/?igshid=1oeefc9myjbps

Here’s another amazing human and community leader I was missing at Creating Change this year. The incredible, inspirational, trailblazing, funny, smart and just wonderful Monica Roberts. Sadly, Monica passed away this year. So even when we return in person, she will not be there. Or at least not in the physical sense, because certainly her impact and her indomitable spirit will live on to impact all of for many years to come. This was the last time I saw her. Though I think of her often. Rest In Power Monica. #cc21 #creatingchange2021 #monicaroberts #trans #activists #transisbeautiful #transwomen #leaders #personalhero #writers #transgender #transwoman #trailblazers https://www.instagram.com/p/CKugD62HM6m/?igshid=1xw2hq9cqmk77

Today I honor all those who have served our country. Some gave all, some made great sacrifices for family and friends. My amazing father served 26 years. Started as a private and finished his Army career as a Major. He is a hero to me and a man I strive to emulate every day. #thetrueaquaman #veteransday #personalhero #thankaveteran https://www.instagram.com/p/B4ub0pXDgp5/?igshid=76dzwwh4y17j

I came across this artwork this week and I love it so much. Apparently it’s part of a series that was commissioned here in my city. It’s inspired by Kate Schatz’s “Rad American Women A-Z.”

K is for Kate Bornstein ❤️
