A ‘moment of truth’ is a critical or decisive time, at which one is put to the ultimate test. . .
Here to inform and connect creative based individuals and businesses around the globe.
This project, ‘moments of truth,’ is a step toward creating a life focused on contributing creative efforts to society. The title for this project was inspired by a phrase often used in the Fort Mason printing studio by printmakers I looked up to. Arrival of the crucial moment would be declared just prior to kissing inked plate to paper through the press.
What questions have you always wanted to ask your favorite creative individual? What is it to be creative? What drives us human beings to create something new and different, altering our surroundings? What am I missing? Obviously this is a work in progress with anticipation of others contributions via comments, messages, suggestions and anything else that may arise.
Stage 1:
To challenge myself on this pilgrimage of sorts, I have set the restriction to travel with only what can be carried while touring on a Honda Nighthawk motorcycle. You know, the most basic supposed essentials: sleeping bag, socks and draws, tools, the digital recorder, some paper, colored pencils, etc. The next five month leg of this tour will take place on the west coast from Seattle, through Oregon, California, down to Oaxaca, Mexico. If you can put me in contact with someone you think has some creative things going on and they’d like to share, I’d love to interview them. Post a comment or shoot an email to momentsoftruth.wordpress@gmail.com. *(Note, Stage 1 has been completed)

If you find the cause of this project worthy, your financial support is greatly appreciated to help me keep this up. If not, let me know what would make it so. Thank you. If you know how to post the html code for the button on WordPress without their system altering it please let me know. To make the donation, please take the extra step to stop by momentsoftruth_wordpress. I apologize for any inconvenience and look forward to resolving this issue very soon.

True, I blew it on that. When I was at his place I wasn’t prepared. He lives in Brooklyn and I didn’t even get to interview until my last night. Next time. It’s a learning experience. Thanks for stopping by! Mabuhay! !

perhaps make sound bytes of the most interesting topics discussed. or of funny quotes.
El Particular // September 12, 2007 at 10:45 pm
Jajaja… sound bytes sound dope. I think I’ll need some help on that though. These files start as WAV, and . . . there’s some funny stuff though.

Thanks for the compliments! :) I only started this blog today, transferring every article and interview from my old website, Jill Pushed Jack (http://jillpushedjack.com) which I’m soon closing down. I didn’t expect anybody to find it quite yet. I haven’t even adjusted the settings yet! lol Glad you enjoyed it anyway.
Ta!
