Hi Reader! How's your week going? โ I'm always adding to my collection of things from around the internet that made me feel touched and/or inspired. (The collection box being my photo gallery ๐ ) I thought Iโd share a few recents in case you needed a bit of inspiration, distraction, or delight. โ ๐ถ This really beautiful animationafraid, but facing it . . . guitar is a track called โplusโ from the album โpas chassรฉโ by loyalty freak music. I combined it with audio recordings from my phone. you can find โplusโ on Bandcamp.#animation (link) Captioned "afraid, but facing it", this heartwarming sequence of animated drawings is by British illustrator Holly Warburton. I absolutely love this little chihuahua. Bracing against the wind on their big adventures across many strange worlds. I felt really connected to this ๐ฅบ I love this sketchy animation style too. It's really interesting how the dog is on a leash in every single picture. It makes me think there is something always keeping them company, but from a distance. โ ๐ง Royalty-free musicI was curious about the music in that video, so I looked it up. The specific track is "plus" from the album "Pas chassรฉ". It's from French composer Rrrrrose and her project Loyalty Freak Music. I thought this was a really cool collection. She has over 200 royalty-free albums with electronic stuff, weird noise stuff, lofi, acoustic, and more. And invites you to do literally whatever you want with it! โ ๐ฎ A retro OSTThis new album from Satin Sheets is DELICIOUS.
(link) S.WORLD is a fake video game soundtrack that explores various retro electronic sounds including vaporwave, DnB, jungle etc. And there's a lot in here, it's 49 mins long!! Love the world-building in the cover art too, it's really fun and colourful. It's by Maria Vorobjova. My fav track is "OPUS". โ ๐ Fantasy romance at its bestOk... this book is technically not out yet ๐ I'm talking about "Apparently, Sir Cameron Needs to Die", the debut novel from author and illustrator Greer Stothers. I've been following Greer on Tumblr for years and literally watched them write this entire book. I felt so inspired watching them go from just trying out fiction writing for fun... to getting it out in the world and published, despite no experience of how to do so! I found it really insightful following someone already established in one creative industry (illustration) as they tried to "break into" another. You can read a snippet of the book here, if you like! โ That's all from me today. If you've found something recently that you wanna share, I'd love to hear about it. โ Take care, Damon โ Find me on: My Website | Instagram | TikTok | LinkedInโ โ P.S. want to work with me? Here's how:

Hi Reader! How are you doing? You know, I think I'm hoping that if I just keep making content on the internet... I'll eventually realise that I can just talk about whatever I want. Like... I'm the one in charge here! I could make a vlog or sing a song or become a beauty influencer ๐ ๐ป It doesn't have to be clever or niche or useful. With that in mind, what I'm ACTUALLY thinking about right now is this: I hate feeling like life is an optimisation problem. Where you have to do everything as...
Hi Reader! How are you doing? I'm back, I recovered from surgery, and I'm ready to get to work! ๐ค There was a part one to this email (you can read it here) and now I'd like to share part 2. Honestly, weโre about halfway through the year and itโs time to step things up. We all know how important it is to have confidence + good self-esteem. It includes beliefs about how skilled we are, how capable we are, plus whether we are likeable. It affects every area of your life. ESPECIALLY creative...
Hiiii Reader! I don't know about you, but whenever I hear someone saying "create more than you consume" I'm just like oouuughhhh Because they are very right to say that. But also sometimes I just cannot get off this thing ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฒ I'm not here to get all negative about scrolling and make us all feel bad though. I actually wanted to talk about how I'm on a Big Mission to have more self-confidence. Obviously a big part of that for us is going to be creativity and creative work. (I'm also doing a...
