How are we doing Patrons Happy first Friday of April!

I am irritated this week. I was supposed to release the next song “The Exhibit”, but life and things have been postponing us. I hate not being on time and not delivering on time, but it’s alright. This song has went through so many rewrites and re-concepts, I’m just ready to put it out so I can stop tweaking and touching it. I’m ready to move on to the next songs because those songs open the door to some fun. This song is fun too, definitely fun, but right now, we are looking to build a small little nice catalog so I can rotate the songs to use when it comes to promoting MURLIN TV!

Regarding Voyeur’s 3D GAZE, I want it to be more organized, I don’t mind editing outtakes and showing you, but I’m ready for it to be more intentional, you know? I’m looking for Voyeur’s 3D GAZE to be a successor of Playboy/Interview Magazine, I think I got the format ready and everything, it might need to be a bit more perfected, but I’m ready to start working on it.

Shoutout to you Patrons! Thank you so much for your support~

Hello Patrons! Happy Friday!

This week has been… Okay? I suppose. There’s a few things I could complain about, but I’m tired of complaining about them at this point, so we’ll just do what we have to do. This week, I’ve mainly been working on my music. We have a new song coming out soon “The Exhibit”, this song… Haha. I’ve been writing it since 2019, it’s gone through so many different variations and titles even as recent as last week. Making music is actually challenging, I think its the most challenging medium for me to be honest, when it came to learning visuals or metaphysics, you know they don’t include the so much on the body and so much vulnerability like singing. Singing asks you to be both technical and emotional, but I think that’s why I’m attracted to it, it’s that balancing act.

Anyway Patrons, thank you for your subscriptions always, listen to “The Exhibit” when it comes out!

Hello Patrons! Happy first day of Spring!

It is finally spring, spring is here! Although, it’s not real spring in NYC because I still have to wear jackets outside, I wish spring was authentic like 50-70 degrees type of vibes, I hate seeing 30s-40s, it means layers and discomfort. But, summer should be here soon and I’m sure I’ll be complaining about the extreme heat.

I got my Tik Tok back! Last week, I was complaining to you guys how they took my Tik Tok away because of nudity, but it is back last night! I was like “Of course!” Because none of the work i was posting were super explicit, especially compared to a lot of the content Tik Tok is already posting. But that being said, I really like Tik Tok, I really do, but I don’t necessarily see it’s staying power, it feels like a very fragile app. A lot of these apps feel very fragile right now, I think Google has the opportunity to create a “One-fit-all” type of social media app and I think it would make the most sense. They have Google, Youtube, Gmail, Google Chrome, they practically own the internet, so I wouldn’t mind them really taking Tik Tok / Instagram / Twitter / Facebook and make it one big hub attached to Google, and in that sense, creators wouldn’t have to feel so fragmented and all over the place.

Anyway chat, I’m still working on music. I can’t wait until I actually start releasing the real fun and performative type songs, right now we are still setting the stage and world-building, but soon, we will dance.

Thank you for your subscription patrons, it means everything, we’ll chat next Friday~

What’s good patrons!

It is another Friday the 13th, wow! They came back to back I feel like, we recently just had a Friday the 13th, guess who’s playing Jason?!!?!?

The girls at Tik Tok got my Tik Tok permanently banned last night, I’m not too distraught because it wasn’t really a big account, but I’m a bit irritated in general. Three years ago, my Instagram got deleted as well and that has affected me intensely, but there was also an upside to the ban because I got to work on MURLIN TV with purity, but at the same time, it’s wildly frustrating for many reasons. I hate how nudity and eroticism is treated on social media and the internet, its like I’m always walking on a tightrope, but it’s okay, soon enough, it’ll all make sense for us.

Anyway! I did release the “Video” or visualizer for First Player Game! I think this was possibly, possibly, the last thing I do for “The Cards of MURLIN”, I now feel like its complete. It has its own song and video and everything, so I feel like it’s ready to go. Basically, my way of releasing music is almost as if I’m doing it like a musical or an act. So the songs I release and in the order I release them definitely have a very light narrative.

Thank you for subscribing Patrons! We’ll talk again next Friday~

Hey Patrons! Happy March the 6th!

Spring is almost here, no more freezing weather, more sun in the daytime, I am happy! The winter was brutal, brutal, but we survived and we are preparing for the Spring!

At the moment, I am trying to figure out how I can do Voyeur’s 3D GAZE with more intention. I have a format that I want to do, I believe it will work, but things just have to align for it to begin working. Right now, I’ve been updating it with outtakes from my previous photoshoots, but I’m looking for Voyeur’s 3D GAZE to be like something between a modern digital Playboy and Interview magazine, very much fashion erotica. It’s going to be mostly image forward with possible interviews, but I’m excited to do it because it’s going to bring me back to doing “Regular” photography or even better, “Fashion photography” and I’m excited to get back into that arena. I still love fashion photography, very much, but it’s become such a complicated industry, so I feel like it’s better for me to do fashion photography within my own format.

Anyway Patrons! I hope you’re streaming First Player Game and stay tune for the next song! It’s going to be another world-building song as well, well, all the upcoming songs this year are going to be world-building songs, but fun songs nonetheless!!!!!!

WHAT IS GOOD PATRONS?! WHAT IS GOOD?!

FIRST PLAYER GAME IS OUT! IT IS ON ALL YOUR PLATFORMS! GIVE IT A LISTEN! Coming up with a song for “The Cards of MURLIN” took some time. I went through so many ideas and so many drafts, and eventually landed with the one that I released; The drafts had different titles like “House of Cards” “Play the Game”, etc. and then I finally got to “First Player Game” because I was actually thinking about “First Person Shooter” without actually thinking about the term, so I thought “First Player Game” and I actually thought “First Player Game” was a regularly used term, but no! Thats when I found out that it is “First Person Shooter” instead, but either way, I love “First Player Game”, I feel like it means so many things both personally and universally.

Anyway Patrons! thank you for the subscriptions! I really want to get started with Voyeur’s 3D GAZE for real some time soon, I’m trying to figure out a nice system for it, we’ll figure it out soon, but in the meantime, I will keep the 3D Gaze part updated continuously, check it out because it is being updated today~

Hello Patrons! Happy Friday the 20th!

This week has been indifferent, I think indifferent is a good word for this week. I’m working to release my second song titled “First Player Game” and it’s going to be pretty much the theme song for “The Cards of MURLIN”. The song is really minimalistic and retro, so its quite different from the MURLIN TV theme song. I have so many, so many, so many songs that I want to release, I want my music catalog to be just as thick as my visual catalog.

To be honest, I mainly went into music and taught myself to sing for music videos. I love music videos so much, like the art of a music video is everything to me. My next terrain I would like to master would be the music video form, which i think i already told you guys, but I like repetition, it’s emphasis.

Overall, I’m feeling indifferent, but optimistic. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend and check out my 3D GAZE, it’s consistently getting updated.

Hello Patrons! Happy Friday once again! Some crazy shit happened last night. I was at the Walgreens nearby where I do my usual shopping, there was this lady there that I sometimes say hi to and sometimes not because she ignores me when she feels like it and because I don’t do inconsistency well, I closed the loop and stopped saying hi and kept it neutral, last night as I’m checking out, she lost her mind talking about some “YOU DON’T KNOW IF YOU HAVE A WALGREENS CARD?!” When she asked and I barely answered, making a whole scene, I couldn’t believe what was happening, I didn’t freeze, I was just like “Is she for real?” So I let her have it and I left and told her that “I expect better customer service” which sent her to another rage. This was so random y’all. So damn random. Like, I’m more embarrassed for her more than anything because of how absurd the situation is, but anyway let’s move on.

I added on a new character in my “Characters unlocked” So far, I had 6, I’m adding a 7th one “Revel Rebel” Revel Rebel was a zine I made about four years ago and it’s a take on David Bowie’s “Rebel Rebel”, but my version is more of a philosophy. So this character is more of the true “Writer / Philosopher” in my characters. So, when I start writing stories and more of my philosophy, you will experience Revel Rebel, I’ll probably fully explain all the characters eventually, but if you look throughout my site, you’ll eventually understand.

Hello Patrons! Happy Friday! Hope you got to watch The Midnight Globe Opening Sequence!! I am currently working to release the next song from “The Midnight Globe’s” first soundtrack.

I really want to master the art of music videos, right now we are starting slow, with animation, still images, and all of that, and soon we will master green screen in motion, 3D editing, VFX, all of that. I have so many ideas for music videos, its eating at me, I can almost say I taught myself how to sing purely so I could get some music videos out, but that wouldn’t be fully true, but music videos will be a HUUUUGE part of my artistry. I just see such an open space for ideas that haven’t been explored yet and I’m excited to produce those ideas.

Hope you have a good weekend Patrons, thank you for your support!

Hello patrons!!! I hope your January has been fantastic! My January has been quiet and cold, but that’s okay because that is the rhythm of the seasons. This month especially I’ve been working on “The Midnight Globe” music video or intro video, I don’t know if I can call it a music video since it’s more-so like a… Theme song intro video. I actually really like the video and I didn’t expect to like it so much, but it makes sense for what I want to do, and I see ways I can use and re-use it as well, so I’m excited about that. Sometimes, I have to be thankful to my limitations because my limitations have helped me in so many ways in terms of innovation, dedication to minimalism, learning the basics of minimalism to produce maximalism, etc. This video was definitely a practice in that direction.

The next phase I’m going to be working on is to actually release a song for “The Cards of MURLIN” – This is a project that just won’t die for me haha. I started working on it four years ago and I’m still adding onto it til this day. Insane. Make sure you purchase your deck if you haven’t gotten one yet!!! Thank you so much patrons!!
