Long, long ago

I held a secret wish to be a part of something. To join or form some sort of an organization like an arts collective or humanitarian groop or even just a band that sticks together. But between life events and social difficulties owed to undiagnosed neurodivergence (more on that in a later post, maybe) this dream has yet to be realized.
So I did what any reasonably imaginative person would do. I created imaginary friends for myself. OK, they’re more like characters, alter-egos. Thus was born the WOLF NOTE COLLECTIVE.
It provided an uninhibited framework for me to do all kinds of things whether I’m any good at them or not, free of the psychic censor that whispers “you’re not good enough” in my ear. Things like drawing and painting and fiction writing and videos and music.
Also long ago I used to do some blogging. Typical prose responses to whatever was going on in the world or my personal life. This was probably ten years ago or so.

The Return of the Wolf Note Blog

November 17, 2022

I don’t think it’s in the cards for me to return to that. But since I have a website, and it has this blog built in, I might as well get some use out of the thing. I’ll use it along with social media and physical media (flyers, stickers, etc) to announce shows and to promote new works. And if I can’t behave myself, may occasionally (very occasionally) vivify these virtual vistas by venting a bit of verdant, viscid, verbiage.

The idea is to go out and perform and share my work out in the world however I can and go see other people’s shows and support them the best I can, and use online stuff (blog, YouTube, Bandcamp, etc) to promote that, and vice versa. Nothing fancy or unusual. Normal things.

I would be very appreciative of your comments or suggestions, here or on my Instagram or Facebook or YouTube channel, when stuff appears in one of these places. Your feedback helps me grow and improve, and hopefully deliver on whatever promise is inherent in the work.

Thank you!

James
