What it means to be an artist

To be an artist is to have a particular orientation to the world — the interior world and the exterior world — the exact composition of which is somewhat like temperature, impossible to deconstruct into individual phenomenological components without ceasing to be itself.

Maria Popova writes in such a poetic way. Every sentence is always dense. Braining Pickings is a treasure to the internet.

I'm Nash. I create things.

INSTAGRAM / MONEY / GUEST / MUSIC / EVENTS

Let's Talk Money

Every month, I go through each service that’s connected to nashp.com (donations, memberships, consulting, merchandise, album sales, Amazon), and when transferring those little balances into my bank account, and seeing them collectively become a small paycheck, it’s always fascinating. A bunch of little buckets working together for the bigger picture.
Thank you.
