Romanticise a Better World: Four people sit around a wooden table in a café or restaurant beside a large floor to ceiling window overlooking a park with bare trees and winter light. None of their faces are fully visible, as they are shown mostly from behind or in profile while looking out toward the view. On the table are a bowl of tomato soup with bread and fries, a hamburger with fries and salad, a sandwich on a plate, drinks, and a small vase of yellow flowers. The mood is warm, quiet, and reflective, suggesting a thoughtful shared lunch conversation.

Above them, a monumental translucent crest shape fills the sky with a gold dove insignia inside a circle and orbit like arcs. Aurora light and storm clouds glow in teal and ember tones. This is a cinematic sci fi illustration, not a real photograph.

Monsters run the world. Now what? A funny, honest six phase map from burnout to community, and why my projects keep evolving into connection.

A pizza box with slices sits to the left, with scattered chocolate wrappers and a striped popcorn bucket in the foreground. The projected image is softly blurred and includes a small red circular Gregg the Artivist logo in the lower left, capturing the mood of the comfort trap.
