Exactly 2 years ago, I stepped out of my role as Creative Director and boss mama at House of Yes. Most of my friends know already- but I didn’t feel like expressing it publicly at the time and then time kept passing. And now as I launch my new project @makefunstudio it felt right to share this. So, if you don’t know, now u know. In short- years ago, I heard a whisper in my heart calling for change. I ignored it, until it screamed. I then worked up the courage to take action, take the leap. Apparently these things take time. I’m grateful for my partners (yes, I’m still a partner) and all the humans holding it down at HOY. I still love what it is and all we have created. I still go dancing and host as @karlkarlson69 now and again, but I’m not hands-on in the day-to-day. After 15+ years of being in the non-stop-fun-factory, it was time for new things and less nightlife. Shedding an old identity feels beautifully weird, painfully awkward and just as confusing as it is liberating. “Yes, I am FREE! but… who am I!?” THANK YOU to all my friends who held my hand as I squirmed in discomfort, grieved, explored options, had epiphanies and then had epiphanies that made me change my mind about the old epiphanies. I traveled, collaborated on dream projects. Made choices and mistakes. learned some shit. I did that glorious and embarrassing human dance that the humans do. There are things I’ve learned and so many things I’m still discovering/recovering. Just to enjoy drawing and writing again, even this post, is on the path. And now, PART 2 of this update! I’m birthing a new project- @makefunstudio ! in east wburg bk. It’s a makerspace for wearable art. It’s a community art studio. It’s an offering. It’s an experiment in expression for all. ✴GET INTO IT! ✴ ⭐ Our Launch Party is Tuesday Feb 17th (mardi gras! lunar new year! come!) Follow @makefunstudio 💜 Become a studio member! 🧡 Come to Open Studio Sessions *every tues*! all the things are in my b!o + here 👉makefunstudio.com Also lmk any classes you would want to take… or teach?! and remember… In a system that wants you to mindlessly consume, creating art is a radical act. Let’s get radical together! 🙌
