A collection of things I’ve made, grown, fixed, broken, learned, and loved.

a Life Kayotic
what is this place?
One day there’s a sketchbook page.
The next day there’s a recipe that accidentally turned out amazing.
Then a story about spending three hours fixing a website bug only to discover a missing semicolon.
Then a photo of a tomato that somehow survived against all odds.
Not because any of those topics are connected. Because the person experiencing them is connected.

Not a store…
A Workshop of life
Not a pristine workshop in the slightest. Much like life, the space is messy well loved with half-finished projects and never-ending organization issues.
You’ll find paint on the floor, dirt on the boots, and a sketchbook, or three, sprawled about for those moments of random inspiration. Maybe you’ll spot a soldering iron sitting next to a bowl of Lucky Charms.
Welcome to the place where things are being made because making things is fun. And there is nowhere else I’d rather be than creating, unless, of course, I’m gaming.

Drawing, painting, gluing, and glittering… this is a not-so-sacred place for all those things that creep out my brain and haunt my inner child. I assure you, I am fine. Everything is fine.

KRISTY FLICK
I’m an artist, a web developer, and a collector of stuff. I write code by day and art whenever-I-can. I like to let things be messy, unfinished, or strange, and still call it beautiful.
A lot of what I make doesn’t end up framed or finished. It ends up here — in A Life Kayotic. This project is my creative release valve. A place for the in-between stuff. The “what if”s, the half-formed, the almosts. The things I needed to make, even if I didn’t know why at the time.
If you find something here that resonates — a sketch, a sentence, a feeling — I hope you carry it with you. Because you are exactly where you need to be.
If not, I hope you still leave inspired to make something of your own. Something imperfect. Something true.
