Alright - help me out. I'm working on a Rubiks Cube mosaic for the Indiana State Fairgrounds & Event Center. This will be 2,368 hand-solved cubes. I'm looking for Cubers to help me solve cubes. This is paid. Could you tag someone in the comments or message me if you're interested?
Here is the mockup I made of the piece.
“Absolutely stunning! This book within a book not only shares the fullness of the power of the sacraments, it’s interactive, artfully done, and representative of Catholics all over the world. The juxtaposition of the scriptural ties to the sacraments enhanced by the art you first see, and then the art that is revealed through light, is pure artistry. It’s rare you find a children’s book that even adults love to sit with and ponder. Each time you read it, you see something new. Adding to my bookshelf and to those of my nieces and nephews immediately!”
—Kathryn Whitaker, Author of “Live Big, Love Bigger” and podcast host

Trust your audience! Its so much easier said then done. For me it’s a lot of times wanting the audience to see how much work I put in.
Director Matthew Heineman could have said “Look how many cameras we have setup!” Or Jon Baptiste could have showed off how great his improv piano skills. But instead they trusted the audience and let us sit in a moment. I hope you take a moment and enjoy this 1 minute that was entrusted to us!
Do you ever wish we Catholics could shift culture as effectively as we shift fast food menus during Lent? There’s a huge billboard on my block that just changed out the advertisement to brag about the sale of the Filet-O-Fish. It will be up for roughly the next 40 days, after which it will be taken down and replaced. The question I ask is: When that billboard is changed, will my family also be changed?
Too often, I’ve seen Lent as this personal challenge – some sort of religious self-help proving ground trying to earn my Catholic badge so the Heavenly Father will love me. But lucky for me, that’s not how God’s love works. His love burns deeper than anything I can imagine, and He only waits for me to simply let Him in.
And that is exactly what I’ve found Lent can do for my family and me. Honestly, I can do a pretty great job of acting like I don’t need God. Instead of sitting in silence around a fire like my ancestors might have, I sit in a comfy coffee shop with two screens in front of me. I can spend the whole day filling up every quiet moment with self-improvement podcasts and entertainment. Life can seem pretty great until I take a moment to sit with myself. And that ache deep within me begins to stir up.
Here on earth, we are in the longing stage. We’re stretching between heaven and earth. We’ve met the Bridegroom, and we know the ending, but our hearts still yearn for the completion of all things. We need little tastes of the wedding party and little tastes (or healthy gulps at times) of the fasting.

When finding collaborators find people who speak into your mission and push the work beyond what you can do on your own.
Marian University Indianapolis was looking for the campus to be captured with the eye of Catholic Imagination that the University deserved.
Jacob Bentzinger Photography brought his deep knowledge of the Church and art and photography skill and has helped to set a new tone to the University for outsiders looking in.
More video work for Marian coming soon.
My best work is yet to come. Your best work is yet to come. That’s a good thing and a reason to keep working hard and pushing boundaries.

When we’re creating we’re not expecting Eureka moments, we’re mining for “That’s funny” moments and looking to build off of those.
When you run into a “that’s funny” moment, pursue it. Go down the rabbit hole with your collaborators, waste time with that idea and see where it leads. You might just end with a Eureka!

After a week of computer work sometime you got to make something with your hands. Making if in stories.

You think you’ll remember that brilliant concept.
But, you won’t.
Writing down ideas, sharing them, and engaging with them gives those ideas a better chance of seeing the light of day.
Physically writing out ideas with pen and paper rather than typing them on a screen has the dual benefit of better mental engagement and less distraction.
So if the old notebook has been…stationary…for a while, now is the time to bust it back out.
Do you leave space to come up with bad ideas? Time for no judgement? Good ideas start as bad ideas.

Last month I was searching for stories of encounter with the Eucharist for the National Eucharistic Revival - I went to text my parish priest to see if he had any leads but as I typed in “Fr” @fathernormanfischer’s name popped up.Knowing Fr Norm is always up to help and has buckets of incredible stories I sent out text. He happened to be in Rome but he still quickly responded and told me I had to talk with Colleen McCollum and get her incredible story.Little did he know that Colleen would tell me a story about a man who didn’t give up on her. She went on to tell of how Fr Norm led her back to Jesus. We recorded the story and Colleen and I reminisced on how much of an example Fr Norman is of God’s love. @kim.a.rivera went on to make this linocut art piece.On the day I got down to Indy Colleen texted me the terrible news, that Fr. Norm passed away in his sleep the night before. I never got to send him the video before he passed but he’s got front row seats now. It’s such a huge loss and he will forever be missed. I’m honored to get to tell just a little piece of his story of being a quiet whiteness to the NEC crowd of 60,000. I pray that just a little of his joy and peace may rub off onto me. 📸 Martin Jernberg edit Nathan Proulx
When I met Naomi a couple months ago she had never ran more than 10 miles. Gwen had never Ran more than 3. They both crossed the finish line of this marathon and finally considered themselves a runner.

“Creativity is piercing the mundane to find the marvelous.” -Bill Moyers
One of the craziest coincidences that has ever happened to me.
My Dad is a lawyer, I’m a creative director. It always seemed to be the furthest career path that I could have taken. But the more I get to know my Dad and other friends and family in “non-creative” fields the more I see that we’re artists because God is.Our creativity is going to come out of us in one way or another whether you consider yourself an artist or not. You might as well own it and create with intention whatever that looks like for you.
Stop defending the faith.It seems completely opposite from what we need to do in our current culture. But if you truly believe Christianity is true, then it doesn’t need defending it needs clarification.In my favorite new song from Paper Horses they sing “all I have to give now is surrender, as if I could even put up a fight, I don’t think you need one more defender, it’s enough to be your child.” We need more witnesses to Christian humility, to clarity, to a childlike love.

Here are my top 6 tips if you are running a Kickstarter campaign. Share these with someone who is thinking about running a campaign: **Kickstarter Tips**. 1. Have the first tier be the good value (don’t do a $1 thank you). 2. Split up the rewards into two categories: Customers & Donors. 3. Make the lowest Feasible goal (Don’t forget shipping goes towards the goal). 4. The video first 6 seconds get across what you are making. Then go back and tell the story. 5. Shorter campaign is better. 6. Consider an affiliate program like Kickbooster
It’s the weird ideas that get me inspired to push the boundaries of what’s possible. Artistic challenges make the work with it. And having incredible teammates you can lean on when you don’t have the answer makes all the difference.Thank you so much @augustomuchogusto for inspiring and helping us make this possible.
My favorite clients have been the ones that weren’t quite ready to make something when we first talked and later we got to collaborate on something deeper and more important. Our goal in our first conversation is to try to talk you out of working with us. Because if there’s a better way to do it, that’s great! We only have a limited capacity and want to work with the people we are called to work with in this moment, and we want what’s best for you. Whether or not that includes us. And sometimes that doesn’t mean “no” it just means not right now.

The job of the artist is to reword the cliche! Make it so we can hear the thing we’ve become numb to! I heard Steve Martin say the other day, “Be so good they can’t ignore you.” And I immediately wrote it off as cliche and something I heard a million times. Then I wondered for a moment who first said it and I looked it up and realized it was Steve Martin many years ago. The first time he said it wasn’t cliche. But me being 40 some years younger have a responsibility to take the wisdom of the past and say it in a way that can be heard again. Dear artist, take up the mantle and write the future cliches.
It’s the simplest things that can be the most effective. Try using a water bottle and a phone light the next time you need unique lighting. What’s your favorite lighting trick?Shots for Marian University Indianapolis

🧠📓Your brain is a bad storage container for ideas.I like to carry as little as possible in my pocket. But for the last 10 years a pocket notebook and a pen (currently the papermate inkjoy) has been in my back right pocket and front right pocket respectively. Comedian Mitch Hedberg said, “I write jokes for a living, I sit at my hotel at night, I think of something that’s funny, then I go get a pen and I write it down. Or if the pen is too far away, I have to convince myself that what I thought of ain’t funny.”Your ideas and insights are the most valuable thing you can produce. Yes you can take notes in your phone but in my experience the distractions have the capability of doing more harm than good.Your ideas are worth it! Write them down before they’re gone.
The dark night of the creative soul. It starts with “this is the best idea ever” and ends with “it’s done and it sucks but it’s better then I thought” and in the middle is the “dark night of the creative soul.” Lots of projects die in that dark night. But if you go back to that original spark that got you into the idea in the first place it’s the light that can get you out and we the world need your art! Image by Austin Kleon
I use this little hack every time I go out and direct/film/photograph. I remember the first wedding I filmed I was trying to capture that part of the story no one else was seeing and as I was zoomed into the hands of the couple they both at the exact same time check their finger for their wedding band and adjust it out of a newness of this feeling of wearing a ring. I’ll see if I can dig up that moment and share it, but those are the kind of small magic stories in images I’m trying to find. I think I stole this trick from Patrick Muse Storytelling
