(a short preamble)
Hi, I’m Jake – otherwise known by my online handle, aristhought.
I’ve always loved exploring different creative mediums, striving to find meaningful ways to express, document, and connect with the world and this infinitesimally small moment of life we all get to share together.
Above all, I just want to remain curious and open-minded about the world, to continue learning, growing, and, if I’m really lucky, inspire a little sense of wonder in others as well. This blog/newsletter/personal space to ramble is a facet of that.
For many years I blogged online, mostly for my own personal records. Those old posts were archived when I moved and redesigned my website, but I always wanted to find a way to restart that habit.
This Substack space will mostly be interchangeable with blog posts I will soon make on my website, though I may utilize this area for more long form content.
There is no set topic or theme, though my passions include wildlife, literature, and the arts, so expect to see more of that reflected in my writing. Personally, it is more about the journey of exploration and the process than any end product or prescribed plan.
Of course, I will also continue to share my work on other parts of the internet, which you can find here:
Youtube Channel – (Mostly) Nature & Wildlife Films
Art Instagram – Art & Design
For general updates, find me on Twitter (X) and my website.
