It's September 2019.

We've taken a break from travel to spend some time among the trees at the gorgeous Holden Arboretum in the neighboring town of Kirtland, OH. There, we climb the 120 foot tower, play among the canopies and reflect on what's happened and what's to come.

Re-watching this is both difficult and enlightening. 7 months ago we were happy and had such a bright future ahead of us. We had some incredible plans and ideas about where we wanted to go with our life and our adventure.

Now, the future is chaotic and uncertain.

Sophie and I sat down over dinner and a bottle of wine last night and talked about our nostalgia for Los Angeles; the work I was able to do there, our friends, the familiarity of the city. We both miss it but also know that our future is destined to take us elsewhere to explore new lives and new adventures. (I also don't miss the heatwave they're currently experiencing in Southern California!)

We're talking about moving to the UK (where Sophie is from), Canada or possibly even Finland, after our time here in Cleveland is complete (August 2021). I'm excited at the prospect of living internationally for awhile and what that means for my creative work.

I've got 2 more episodes of The Artrpreneurs left. Next up is our Chicago trip (and the insane storm we had to drive through to get there) and then the all-new, unaired final episode at Wisconsin's HOUSE OF THE ROCK.

The Artrepreneurs - EPISODE 7: Disappearing Act

We take a break from travel to spend some time among the trees at the gorgeous Holden Arboretum. We climb a 120 foot tower, play among the canopies and reflect on what's happened and what's to come. --- Thank you for watching this video! If you liked what you saw, keep up with our videos by subscribing and leave us a comment or send us a “hello!”. --- FILTHLAMB is a contemporary art duo comprised of American photographer and pornographer Chad Michael Ward and English painter and social scientist Stardust B. Jané. Our clients are the spooky babes, the talented drop outs, the closet loners, and the tethered dreamers. We elevate the unconventional and embolden the peculiar. Our portfolio is an ever-evolving oddities display; we’re obsessive about lighting, colours, and impact - we’re a bit irreverent, and we don’t shy from the abnormal or the anomalies. We think strange is sexy. We are often hired by artists, entrepreneurs and performers, and we also love the challenge of working with someone who wants to step out of their comfort zone to discover themselves. We like people who can’t help but see things differently. People who’ll never fit in, and who don’t want to. You don’t end up with a different viewpoint on the world without having gone through some challenges. Photography can be therapeutic, a chance to create and share something or to simply step away from the stresses of reality for a few hours, into a more mindful, imaginative place. We identify with a lot of what our clients have experienced and we think that an affirming attitude is the foundation for doing great work. We actively encourage you to bring as much of yourself as you can to the table.
