Lasting value

One filter I use for choosing creative projects is: will this be of lasting value? Only time will tell, but asking the question helps weed out what the internet is overflowing with: fleeting commentary on current affairs.

Your entire world and life are your material. Seek out patterns. Explore what lies beneath.

Complement with creativity is a choice, cultivating a sense of presence, and how we made True Blue.
