Great things are not something accidental, they must be distinctly willed.

You are not aspiring, you're not a wannabe. You're an artist right now.

Sayford Ford and I met each other this summer in New York City. I was really taken by his use of neons, the story lines woven into his work, his figures and self portraits. Tune in next week for more in his own words— I’m convincing him @bsky.app is better than Instagram. www.instagram.com/sayport2

The thought behind Invisible Legends is that housing insecure artists are seen— a hopeful catalyst for fostered creativity and preserved work. What makes these artists remarkable is not their circumstance, but rather that they cultivated their creativity in the world despite their circumstances.

Dear Bluesky, I aim to help artists who are experiencing housing instability. If you have seen an artist in your neighborhood who you think could benefit, please LMK 💛 i live in Manhattan, but will make it work.
