In the Summer of 2025, I found myself writing a manuscript in the free time between gigs and planning the 3-month trip to Europe, which ended up being a sort of evolution of thought, captured in photographs, stemming from this book. Over the two years prior, I had kept coming back to the question of what it meant to be an artist in the modern day, and how the influence of social media, technological progression, and the evolution of AI have impacted our experience as humans, and more specifically as artists. A few months later, I had finished this 70,000+ word manuscript and it’s just been sitting in my documents ever since. I figured it might be worth putting out into the world, as a digital download first, and hopefully in print sometime in the future.
The Artist’s Dilemma is a reflective exploration of how to stay true to your creative voice in a world that constantly pulls you away from it—through capitalism, survival pressures, overstimulation, and a society designed around productivity rather than meaning. Blending personal narrative and cultural commentary, the book asks what it means to be an artist today, and whether it's truly possible to create meaningful work while meeting the demands of modern life.
