  • The Art of the Unacceptable: A Love Letter to the Unordinary
    May 14 2025

    This isn’t a brand story. It’s a whispered revolution.

    In The Art of the Unacceptable, Roy Sharples of Unknown Origins delivers a lyrical manifesto for creative bravery—a rallying cry for the beautifully disobedient.

    For the misfits who won’t tick boxes.
    The originals who refuse to be optimized.
    The rebels who still choose soul over scale.

    This isn’t about KPIs, virality, or playing it safe.
    It’s about making the things only you can.

    The art that howls.
    The work that scars.
    The future that doesn’t arrive—it’s made.

    And it begins here.
    With you.

  • Tech Entrepreneurs: The Artists of Tomorrow
    May 4 2025

    A Manifesto for the Creators Who Code, Craft, and Conjure the Future

    In a world where keyboards replace canvases and platforms are the new punk, tech entrepreneurs have emerged as the artists of our time.

    In this electrifying, manifesto-driven episode, Roy Sharples reimagines the startup founder not as a disruptor—but as a cultural visionary. From code as poetry to platforms as protests, this lyrical reflection explores how the next wave of innovation is shaped by creativity, ethics, and soul.

    What if startups were symphonies?
    Can product design be a form of protest?
    What’s the true legacy of a tech founder: IPO or impact?

    From Steve Jobs to Basquiat with bandwidth, Roy delivers a poetic provocation for the creators of tomorrow—urging them to build with conscience, design with intention, and launch like artists.

    This is a rallying cry for the rebels with product roadmaps, for the dreamers with data, for the builders who still believe in beauty.
