Neil Oldman, writer, curmudgeon and cartographer, sits at a bar waiting for someone to ask his opinion

Neil Oldman Past/Present/Future 08/21/2026

For these regular updates, I'm going with a past/present/future thing. I'll talk about what I'm working on currently, what's on my Never-Ending List of Amazing Ideas (tm), and then talk about an old project with the benefit of hindsight.

No Commission, No Middle Man

Then I made the mistake of seeking out another video from the same profile. Now I get multiple videos in my feed from Sherry at artjusgrapeleaves every day. I watched a couple, still amused. After half a dozen, I had had my fill.

Purpose

Daydream Misfit is a website and blog for surreal and offbeat experimental writing and design.

Over the years, I've created hundreds of handmade drawings and paintings. Now I'm exploring AI (typically Ideogram, heavily edited in Gimp) as a new tool, wrestling with the implications and leaning into the weirdness.

I'm spectrumy. I'm restless creatively and all over the place. Algorithms don't like that I'm eclectic. But I'm not a brand. I'm not a niche. And I'm not going to change.

The Daydream Misfit project is my way to engage in digital design series that explore surreal, emotionally ambiguous visual storytelling that blends dream logic, symbolic figures, and quiet psychological tension.

I embrace colorful, trippy, absurd, raw, and authentic expression. Welcome to my sketchbook, diary, confessional booth, and curiosity shop. Expect fragmented dream-world narratives and tangents. I'm glad you could make it, and I hope you'll stay.
