The Art of Making & Fixing

from that of the mind.”

CREATE WITH ABANDON

RIGHT BRAIN TERRAIN

“You may not be a Picasso or Mozart but you don’t have to be. Just create to create.

Create to remind yourself you’re still alive.

Make stuff to inspire others to make something too.

Create to learn a bit more about yourself.” @JessFlynn

UNCLAMP

MAKE S#&! MANIFESTO

I will honor physical labor as much as office effort

I will respect the analog as much as the digital

I will invest in my tools as much as my technology

I will revel in the often messy process of discovery and making s#&!

I will embrace the flow

I will commit to creating something physical and tangible weekly
