This is J. Eightclip

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

This started in 2013 as a lifestyle blog by a Los Angeles creative director, filmmaker, and editor — but mostly a father. 186 entries later it’s less a blog than an archive: coffee roasters and short films, DIY builds and hardcore records, year-in-reviews and field notes from the middle of raising kids.

It’s where the personal work lives. Audio stories, short films, snailmail zines, and everything that doesn’t need to be optimized for scale. Nothing here is for sale and nothing here is a pitch.

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.
