Hi! I'm Thomas.
Creativity is the driving force in my life.
As a creativity coach and creator, I know how hard it is to put stuff out into the world.
It takes courage, knowledge, perseverance, etc.
It also takes a community and that's why I started Make Stuff.
Whether you are a maker, an artist, or just curious about creativity, I think that you’ll enjoy the emails that I send twice a month.
Enjoy curated links, articles, and prompts that help you find your voice, build a resilient creative practice, and inspire you to keep going.
What I mean by stuff
In my writing, stuff is anything that you bring into this world through an act of creative courage: art, music, photography, writing, DIY electronics, ceramics, etc.
I mean it when I say courage; it can be scary, even painful.
Join a community of like-minded creators!

"Influences that are broad and forward thinking..."
You bring things to my inbox that I likely would not come across otherwise. Even when I try and peek into odd corners of Twitter. I enjoy the friendly feel. It's not preachy, and it encourages me.

"Indiscriminatory"
Any and all creative mediums are game for discussion, analysis, reference. It's a voraciously hungry approach to good content (in the best of ways.)
