Hey y’all,
If you’re reading this post you’re probably aware that this past Sunday evening within an hour of having arrived back home in Oakland from southern CA, Cy’s car (which we had been traveling in) was stolen along with all of our luggage inside the trunk.
Inside that car were all my essentials for making music or visual art. Both of my laptops, camera, tripod, mic, interface, and both hard drives have been stolen along with the vehicle.
Usually I would never have that amount of equipment in any space that is not the studio - but having traveled for an art-centered trip, I brought all the things with me. And as fate has it the one and only time I did have all those important possessions in one place - they were taken.
It is a pretty devastating blow, with the hard drives and both laptops gone there is a lot of music, videos and photos - invaluable creations I will simply not get back. And truthfully I just do not have the financial resources to replace these items.
Despite how awful it is to lose these things, ultimately I just want to be able to make art again. I can’t do that without my laptop, camera or mic or interface… all these things are essential to me.
If you find it in yourself to donate in any amount - I greatly appreciate all the community support I’ve received in trying times. I’m trying now not to feel shame in having to ask for financial aid again - but instead see it as a moment where I can focus on the affirmations of love and connectedness I have to people who value my creativity - which is an invaluable experience.
Thank you for reading
With so much love & appreciation always,
