1. first things first

for starters, you've found the blog and first post of a new project i've dubbed the ghost of Anna Karina.

it came to me as a burst of spontaneity as i perused the internet for pictures of 60's actress Anna Karina. the ghost part came naturally because it draws the images of things from the pasts, the things we can't let go of, or the things which we have let go of, but they haven't loosened their grip on us. this haunting was what ultimately jotlted me off my seat, to do something about it, to fuel all these things that i've been wanting to do, but was perhaps too lazy or unconfident to try out.

this blog is natural, because blogging is natural to me. i would invite you to check back here every once in awhile, to see where the creative process is taking me. the people i'm going to meet in the process of producing this work, whatever form it may take. perhaps at its most basic, the ghost will be a piece of studio work, but along the way it will be an online journal, graphic attempts, relationships, collaborations, pictures, movies, soundboards, texts and everything else in between.

i invite you, and all my future collaborators for something that will hopefully blow our minds and we can be proud and ashamed of all at the same time.
