This is J. Eightclip

A creative lab by John Jenkins. Documenting the mess, the magic, and the process of becoming.

This is where the personal work lives.
Audio stories, short films, snailmail zines, and everything that doesn’t need to be optimized for scale. Just honest creative practice — archived and alive.

Process

Notes from the Messy Middle of Creativity, and Life.

Process

Process is a quiet journal of becoming. Short essays, field notes, and voice-memo style thoughts from the messy middle of creativity, d.i.y., parenthood and personal growth. No polish. No performance. Just honest work in motion.

The Art in Analog.

This is the dispatch.

I’m weaving all my scattered projects into one thread. A digital newsletter and/or the Analog dispatch. Audio, film, essays, zines, and whatever comes next.

If you’re curious about what I’ve been making and/or want something tactile in your mailbox then sign up here. I’ll send the occasional dispatch: fragments of Process, short essays, photos, and handmade zines.

Always personal. Analog before digital.

A creative body of work built on story, reflection, and real life. This is the work I do when no one’s watching. The kind I believe in most.
