Hi + welcome

My name is Joce Aucoin. I’m a writer and artist, co-owner of the late/great Lujo Records, author/illustrator of poetry comic, Multitudes, creator of the Ojai Creatives online community, etc. etc..

The only thing you really need to know? I like to create and help others create.

Jump + Pray is a daily offering to aid and encourage you on your creative journey.

Living a creative life (in a capitalist society) is brave. I hope you create what’s in your heart to create and I hope that if you’re having trouble doing that, Jump + Pray can help get you closer.

Where you’ll find me

Of course, you can subscribe to Jump + Pray. Emails are daily and short. They are meant to inspire you to contemplation and creative action. To nudge you forward in living into your one wild and precious life.

I also offer levels of support that include receiving original art in the mail on my website.

Lastly, if community is your thing and you’re local to Ojai, please come to an Ojai Creatives meetup. OC is a friendly, vibrant and supportive community of makers, artists and creatives. Come hang.

My home on the web is here and I’m also on instagram. Thank you for reading.

Jump + pray!
