The Upside of Nonsense

"Invasion" by Jason Kotecki. Oil on canvas. 20x20 inches. Original and prints available here. I love macarons. I only had my first one a few years ago, but it was love at first bite. Not only am I always on the lookout for ways to get them in my belly, but I decided it was time to get them into some paintings. They’re so cute and colorful, after all, and perhaps keeping myself busy painting them would help distract me enough to keep me from eating them. I like the whimsy that comes from playing with scale; making something smaller or bigger than it would be in real life. Perhaps …

Sarah Stone Weber, July 2017 Adultitis Fighter of the Month

An Adultitis Fighter is someone who rallies against rules that don't exist and engages in ruthless, senseless acts of silliness that undermine Adultitis and its unadventurous version of adulthood. Once a month, we shine a light upon the most remarkable among us, holding them up as a dazzling example of what we should strive for in this epic battle against a formidable enemy. Sarah Stone Weber is a woman giving Adultitis a run for its money. She spreads joy everywhere she goes, and has a knack for taking ordinary circumstances and injecting them with fun and playfulness. You'd never know …

That Time My Painting Got Ruined Right After I Sold It

"Monkey Business" by Jason Kotecki. Oil on canvas. 16x20 inches. Prints available here. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. The scene was the Escape Adulthood Summit and I had just sold one of my new oil paintings. I was elated. It had been only a year since I first offered originals for sale, and this was the first of three I'd sell in one day! I proudly added a "sold" sign to the canvas, a badge of honor that would be on display for the rest of the event. Later that day, I heard a disturbance in the Force. Someone had inadvertently knocked over a few of the …

2017 Escape Adulthood Summit Recap

Adventure. That’s what the fifth Escape Adulthood Summit was all about. But not the kind of adventure you encounter when you google the word “adventure." You know, like scenes of people hanging precipitously from a cliff’s edge with one hand. We talked more about everyday adventures; the opportunities to try something for the first time and see the magic in seemingly ordinary moments. Nothing against mountain climbing or sky diving, but we wanted to challenge attendees to embrace adventure on an even wider scale. Once again, this year’s shindig was held at the beautiful Barn at …

Why Your Superpower Might Be Hidden in Plain Sight

Superman doesn’t have to think about flying in order to soar above the clouds. Spiderman doesn't have to practice sticking to a ceiling. The Flash doesn't have to put in any extra effort in order to run really, really fast. While the rest of us marvel at their extraordinary abilities, these heroes are merely doing what comes naturally. Which begs the question: What are your superpowers? Everyone has at least a few, even though they may not feel particularly talented or special. The problem is that they're often hidden before our eyes. We overlook our own superpowers because …
