    Brew Brain Dump 12: There's a Fly's Brain in the Insect Matrix. How Creativity Can Preserve Sanity When Fiction Becomes Truth

    18/03/2026 | 12 min
    A few years ago, I wrote a silly, speculative science fiction story about a teenager getting stuck in Snake 2. Now we live in a world where it's dated because someone in Silicon Valley has put a fruit fly's brain on a chip and it's doing fly things in the insect matrix.

    Let's sit with that and consider what it means for our mental health and creativity.

    Ep 289: Do Yo Get Excited? Why Excitement is So Essential for Creative Career Health and Wellbeing

    11/03/2026 | 11 min
    Do you get excited? As we grow into adult life, the glee of childhood changes. But do you stay attuned with what excitement is for you now, or get trapped in routines and habits? 

     

    This is one of creativity's biggest blind spots.

     

    Covered in this show:

    Excitement's role in creativity

    The sense of wonder and magic

    The dangers of habituation, routines, and being a passenger in our story

    Ep 288: The Importance of a Point of View in a Portfolio. Lessons from my first creative industry body of work!

    04/03/2026 | 54 min
    Flawed, clumsy, and crass are a few of the words that came to mind as I dug out as much as I could find of my first illustration portfolio in 2008. But I also saw the fire, the humour, and the strong personality I'd packed into it.

    We live in the information age, where everyone has the tools, so we have to tell our unique story in a visual brand. Technical competency is no longer enough.

    Join me as I work through all 19 images and reflect on what makes for a strong point-of-view in a brand and portfolio.

    Head here to do so! https://www.thecreativecondition.com/articles/my-first-portfolio

    Covered in this show:

    Creative industry positioning

    Personality in a portfolio and brand

    Storytelling, humour, and intent

    The balance of abilities and the desired state
