  • The Practical Search For Passion

    Reflecting on the many articles I’ve published to FourthEye, I realized that though I’ve spent a decent amount of time talking about the importance of passion and managing it to achieve success and fulfillment, I’ve spent relatively little time addressing how we identify our passion. While everybody and their grandmother at some point or another…

  • Art Practice 5/31/2021

    Just something that I slapped together yesterday to practice various character poses. Specifically I was trying to work on my line confidence a bit more, construction and anatomy and also simplifying small detailed parts of the body such as the hands and feet. Not unhappy with it, but I want to continue to work on…

  • Artoria (from reference)

    If I had not been lazy I would’ve remade the lines around the jaw and her forearm, as well as her fingers….but it’s still pretty decent. Note: I’ve decided to start posting art that I draw in the main feed because that is way more convenient and sensible for a number of reasons. Look forward…

  • How Not To Be Tired All The Time

    One somewhat of a different note from much of the other content on the blog, I want to address how to deal with a common problem that I personally run into a lot. While I certainly don’t possess a cure-all type solution to the topic issue of this piece, I do have a lot of…

  • Some Ramblings On The Trajectory Of The Internet

    In some odd way it feels as though this is a piece I’ve been writing, or been struggling to, for 5 years or more at this point. I’ve recorded podcasts, some released some not, written extensively in private and typed out lengthy c++ introductions on this topic more times than I recall. While the world…

  • Bite-Sized #1 – Performance/Productivity Pyramid Model

    Trying something a little bit different for FourthEye, as an idea I had around how to achieve higher engagement and avoid burning out. My idea was to do little, bite-sized posts where I discuss something like a model or concept that I’m working with, that may not be super polished but just something that people…

  • Distractions From The Main Plot

    It always feels like such an odd exercise to diminish the importance or usefulness of certain conversations or topics, and yet to the end of effective resource management such a task seems necessary. In this short piece, my hope is to illuminate some of how I think about choosing topics and also cover issues that…

  • My Take On Plan B’s

    Something that comes up a tremendous amount, is the topic of what we actually do if “it doesn’t work out.” Being that this question is pretty important for those that try to run their own shows, this has been something that I’ve put a lot of resources into thinking about. In part because at some…

  • On Distancing Self-Evaluation From External Social Reference

    Overlapping somewhat with the theme of the last piece, I’ve decided to talk about why I think using other people as reference material to rank ourselves might be misguided. To start off, I want to get into common scenarios such as privilege assessment as a way of solving for gratitude, or using celebrities, peers or…

  • Unresolvable Philosophical Differences

    This piece is on a topic that has a really high degree of relevance to one of the bigger roadblocks or struggles that I’ve been dealing with recently. Something that I’ve found somewhat fascinating over the years is whether we ever actually change people’s minds when we have conversations or share our perspectives, or think…
