For artists the message is important to get out there and meet as many people as you can, and try to showcase your artwork in as many places as you can, as you never know how a connection you make can grow. It's also imperative to have a strong support system and don't just isolate yourself while you create. Sometimes you have to do the stuff you don't want to do to get to where you want to be.

003 VlogBrain Canoe Trip through Salt Creek from Wood Dale to Villa Park
This was a fun canoe trip through the salt creek, sped up a bit. There's still a bunch more footage of this and I'm debating the right way to edit it. I may just do a bunch of 'jumps' between each space that looks different, or just do dramatic cuts to when the giant birds or some other 'action' happens. It's a lot of footage so it'll take me a bit to get through that, so, maybe except a sped up/slowed down full render in the coming weeks (fingers super crossed).

002 Vlog Brain Coffee & Wedding
When I workout and wake up early I want to do my best to document it as an accountability thing. Same thing with a lot of meals, if there are a bunch of treating myself to something special I'll hope to document it because then I'll know.
This is a slight departure, but, if I do find myself able to play drums for a couple minutes I'm going to try and use those beats for the video. If I don't play drums, then I'll find some music.
Anyone have any good suggestions for royalty free music?

001Vlog Brain The Unexamined Life is not worth living
I recently purchased a fairly inexpensive camera that I can easily pull out and hit record to capture my day more frequently. The goal of this vlog is to allow myself to create and edit more movies on a (hopefully) daily basis, capturing the fun minutia that creates my days and also to document some of the interesting places I tend to find myself just on the fact that I'm looking for stuff.
This was recorded 8/10/2018 and the morning of 8/11 I opened my email to a quote by James Baldwin. It seemed fitting and very timely and thus seems like a great start to this new 'Vlog Brain'.
Spurn self-delusion.
I still believe that the unexamined life is not worth living: and I know that self-delusion, in the service of no matter what small or lofty cause, is a price no writer can afford. His subject is himself and the world and it requires every ounce of stamina he can summon to attempt to look on himself and the world as they are.
