‘The secret of theft, which is also called creativity’
When asked how screenwriter and film director Paul Schrader came up with some of his scripts for the movie First Reformed, he responded like all remix artists:
PS: The secret of theft, which is also called “creativity,” is you have to steal a bit from a lot of different places. You can’t go to the same 7/11 every time because they’ll catch you. So you go to the photo shop, and you go to the gas station, and you go to that little hot dog stand that nobody goes to and by the end you’ve stolen enough stuff from enough places that people think its yours.
The internet can be the largest copy-paste machine. But it also offers a chance to pluck from a diversity of sources. Just be sure to recast, remix, and redistribute them in your own voice. To put it another way, Steal Like An Artist.

RIP Bill Gold, one of the best movie poster artists of all-time
RIP Bill Gold, one of the best movie poster artists of all-time
RIP Bill Gold, considered one of the best movie poster artists of all-time. Below is a snippet from the obituary in the New York Times but the whole article is worth reading.
Long before poster artists turned to photography and computer-generated images in the 1980s and ’90s, illustrators like Mr. Gold billboarded movies with freehand drawings, based on scripts and first screen prints, that…
Your vocation chooses you
We all start out with a dream, a goal of someone or something we want to emulate. We keep that dream close, putting up bedroom posters and memorizing phrases that propel us to keep pushing toward our goal. But then something else happens along the way? The creative gods tell us to do something else instead. “The grind is not glamorous.” Casey Neistat wanted to be a filmmaker, another Spielberg…
Low brain activities
via giphy TV YouTube Social media People enjoy low brain activities because it gives them the option to unthink. Whether it’s movies or endless Instagram scrolling, the images are there telling us what to think. Reading or listening to music, on the other hand, may take your mind places. As Ray Bradbury once put it, books create a ‘theater inside your head.’ When you pursue the answers out of…

Ray Bradbury: Reading creates a ‘theater inside your head’
A book triggers the imagination. A movie tells all. You either make your own world or let the world dictate you. A book can change your life. A film can change your perception, but only momentarily. Reading creates a theater inside your ahead. Meanwhile, stitched images on a wall provide all the answers. Said Ray Bradbury in an interview with Bradbury scholar Sam Weller: It’s different because…
Last weekend I was fortunate enough to see my brother Ryan Baum graduate from SCI-Arc, an architecture school in downtown Los Angeles.
Each student is responsible for presenting their thesis in front of faculty and special guests. For his final project, my brother put some renderings together over the Stahl House, the iconic modernist house built by American architect Pierre Koenig in the hills of Los Angeles in 1969. He also redesigned the interior dining room and living room with sculpture.
You may have seen the Stahl house in fashion ads and movies like the Big Lebowski, or most famously in black and white photographs taken by Julius Shulman who helped spread modernist Southern California architecture with his “one-point perspective.”
Inspired by the technological blurred paintings of Gerhard Richter, Ryan 3D painted the house’s corrugated facade.
As you can see, Ryan’s contemporary redesign purposely blends in his with the house, making it look authentic. But it his short, hilarious Lebowski-esque film that takes the masquerade metaphor once step further, adding to the mystery of why the home could never sell. The Stahl House was finally declared a LA-historic monument in 1999, before becoming listed as National History place in 2013.
I encourage you to watch the below and check out more of Ryan’s work on his site.

We all must confront our demons from time to time. We must let them pass through the millions of burnt light bulbs in our imagination. Everything good seems to disrupts your life. Struggle ensures that nothing is transactional. It is felt, a lesson in disguise. But where does the journey lead us? There’s no clear answer other than staying on the one you’re already on, not enamored with…
