Hosted by photographer, author, and former comedian David duChemin, A Beautiful Anarchy is a deeply human, honest, and insightful mostly-weekly kick in the pants for anyone who longs to create anything with soul and too often finds themselves mud-wrestling with the muse to do so. A Beautiful Anarchy is a candid ongoing exploration of what it means to be an everyday creator, whether you're a writer, photographer, sculptor, or a puppeteer who works exclusively with vintage macrame owls. The struggles and rewards of bringing something new into the world are universal, and you’re not alone. Let's talk about it.

What's Your Fight?

A friend asked me a question recently that brought me a series of revelations that have pulled me once again, from my funk and my boredom. That question was this: what's your fight?

Home, Alone?

In reaction to something the Chief Economist of the Bank of England said about creative work, and how working from home might be a barrier to that creativity, this episode takes us down a rabbit-hole about how and when we do our best creative work and how that differs for us all, and how–in the end– it's more important that we know how to find flow and create sparks than it is that we know how to find the perfect context in which to work. Let's talk about it. Click here for a full transcript of ...

They Aren't Watching

Worried about others watching (and judging us), many of us become self-conscious about how we present ourselves and our art to the world. Understanding that this imaginary audience is, in fact not watching us, but dwelling instead on their own concerns, gives us the freedom to make work that's not only less self-conscious and more authentic, but to be more empathetic and make work with greater impact. What this got to do with those dreams in which we have no pants? Let's talk about it. Click her...

The Monkey Trap

Two months ago I left social media. The response to my leaving, from friends and those who follow me was varied, but predominantly what I kept hearing was how trapped people feel by social media, mostly by the promise of what being on these platforms can do for us. But are these platforms, on balance, serving us and enriching our creative lives? Are they bringing us the kind of freedom in which we thrive? Let's talk about it.

Turn The Lights On

Things are pretty uncertain right now and most of us aren't completely chill about uncertainty. We fear what might lurk in the shadows. But rather than hiding under the covers at the thought of the monsters under the bed, it's time to turn the lights on. It's time to fight the fears and let art-making be one of the ways we do that, for ourselves and for others. Let's talk about it.
