The past is a foreign country

Blah Di Da ·

2023/03/16

The past is a foreign country, wrote L.P. Hartley. Here I wander around Richmond where I grew up in the 80s. Things have changed. A small reflection on what the world was and what the world has become.My instant download eBook that essences all the useful things I've mentioned on creativity from my podcast (82 pages, PDF):Um: Things I've Learned About Creativity And PoetryMy 'Best Of' illustrated poemsConfetti TornadoFind me:Subscribe to (very occasional)

Self publishing isn't a dirty word

Blah Di Da ·

2023/03/08

How I started publishing; getting published by a publisher who isn't you; and self publishing. Independent music and film is glamorised - self publishing books is seen as dirty and 'vanity publishing'. But the tides have well and truly changed.My instant download eBook that essences all the useful things I've mentioned on creativity from my podcast (82 pages, PDF):Um: Things I've Learned About Creativity And PoetryMy 'Best Of' illustrated poemsConfetti TornadoFind me:Subscribe to (very occasional)

Creative burnout - relaxing is hard work

Blah Di Da ·

2023/02/22

I'm feeling creatively burnt out, I can't see the poetry in things anymore. Clouds look dead in the sky. So I have to engage in this paradox: the best creativity only comes when unforced and relaxed; so I'm forcing myself to take a break from creativity to relax.My instant download eBook that essences all the useful things I've mentioned on creativity from my podcast (82 pages, PDF):Um: Things I've Learned About Creativity And PoetryMy 'Best Of' illustrated poemsConfetti TornadoFind me:Subscribe to

Earning years of life to earn poetry

Blah Di Da ·

I ramble about what I thought in my 20s, 30s and 40s and how earning years of life brings more conviction to writing through simply recognising the patterns and cycles of the world.My instant download eBook that essences all the useful things I've mentioned on creativity from my podcast (82 pages, PDF):Um: Things I've Learned About Creativity And PoetryMy 'Best Of' illustrated poemsConfetti TornadoFind me:Subscribe to (very occasional) newsletterInstagramTikTokdarbyhudsonart.com

Ideas I had this week that didn't quite work

2023/01/26

I had a bunch of ideas that I tried to plant and grow this week. None of them worked. Here they are. And what I thought of them. And what I might do with them. Some ideas that seem crap may work in a day or in 10 years from now with a new idea to bring them to life.My instant download eBook that essences all the useful things I've mentioned on creativity from my podcast (82 pages, PDF):Um: Things I've Learned About Creativity And PoetryMy 'Best Of' illustrated poemsConfetti TornadoFind me:Subscribe

Contrarian wisdom and unpopular opinion can produce sacred truth.

Two childhood films feel more important than the news these days. The world feels upsidedown and often a hostile place to publish the heart's truths. Some thoughts about this.

11 poems, artists & places that have greatly inspired me

Blah Di Da ·

2023/01/03

My favourite artists and places who have massively inspired my work. Sometimes I feel like I'm just a poor rip off of all my influences. I think as an artist, we grow and move from being inspired by other artists, to the original source itself: places/nature.Links to poems artists mentioned in this episode:Michael Leunig – Come Sit Down Beside Me (poem)https://www.pinterest.com.au/pin/430797520581952550/IG: https://www.instagram.com/leunigstudio/Charles Bukowski – The Laughing Heart

I wrote this episode by walking

Blah Di Da ·

2022/12/14

A good walk kickstarts ideas, thoughts, inspiration. I didn't have anything ready for this episode, so I just started walking and letting it happen. Movement always inspires something. And I love a good flaneuring. Subjects include the anaesthetic qualities of doomscrolling, car mirrors with cobwebs as fly nets for spiders, and just noticing stuff on the streets. Recorded in walking Collingwood streets, alleys and Preston Market, Melbourne.Find me:InstagramTikTokdarbyhudsonart.com

Using booze as a tool to write

Blah Di Da ·

2022/12/07

Drinking alone is demonised. But what if it's used as a tool for creative thought? I share my thoughts on booze and its ability to help get us out of the way of ourselves to let the truth write itself.My instant download eBook that essences all the useful things I've mentioned on creativity from my podcast (82 pages, PDF):Um: Things I've Learned About Creativity And PoetryMy 'Best Of' illustrated poems:Confetti TornadoFind me:Subscribe to (very occasional)

Sport tactics and psychology that have helped my art

Blah Di Da ·

2022/12/01

I've learned a lot from sport tactics and psychology that has directly helped my art and making ideas. From entering flow states to taking set shots on goal (when facing a blank page or canvas); selecting captains to make my 'team' (ideas) better, to tactically using substitutes and time outs to help find an audience for my art. Comes with a bonus tip from what I learned from my cat.Find me:InstagramTikTokDarbyhudsonart.com

Are our stories worth telling over and over?

Blah Di Da ·

2022/11/15

The past is full of possibility and constantly reinventing itself. Our old stories change with gained life experience. Some thoughts on mining our old stories and recurring ideas and honing them over a lifetime.IG: @darby_hudsonTikTok: @darbyhudson6Web: darbyhudsonart.com

Finding your voice through perfect truths,...

Blah Di Da ·

2022/11/08

The world makes more sense when a perfect truth is imperfectly said. Where's the balance between truth and an imperfect human voice to convey it? For me the contrast is magic and sings. It's where an artist an audience connect - when it feels like they're sharing the same sleeping dream.IG: @darby_hudsonTikTok: @darbyhudson6Web: darbyhudsonart.com

Blah Di Da ·

2022/10/31

With so many “main characters” across social media and not enough stories to fit them all, is it more worthwhile to be an extra in your own life?Confessional poetry was popularised in the US in the late 50’s, early 60’s by poets like Sylvia Plath and Charles Bukowski. These days it’s how nearly everyone writes in the caption on social media – “I” this, “I” that – confessional poetry in prose form. And as a form of poetry, it’s more popular than ever.To post or not to post. How scary can it be? Is it

Detectives and Poets do the same job

Blah Di Da ·

2022/10/24

We crave mystery in a world where there are more answers than questions. Detectives solve mysteries. Poets deepen the mystery. But they both operate on a similar plane. A poem is really a dossier of clues that take you right up to the door of a starless black night, and at that point you have to give yourself over to something vast and unresolved. And that’s the magic.IG: darby_hudsonTikTok: darbyhudson6darbyhudsonart.com
