Inside the Generator, Space Whale, & da Vinci’s Mind

I spent the last week working on the Dream Swing at The Generator in Sparks, NV.   This place is amazing. (Check out this blog post by Affinity to learn more about it.)

During breaks from our project, I’ve been able to meet a number of amazing artists and admire their creative processes.

Want to get a feel for what the vibe is like at the Generator as Burners are preparing for BRC 2016? Check out the archives of these scrappy live broadcasts:

    Halcyon, You say you’re limited in your skills. I’ll say two things: 1. Join the club! That includes everyone. and 2. You are amazing at what you can do! And everyone else is, too, if only they can find out what that is.
    That is my wish for the people of all the world.
