Thoughts I wanted to see wants to inspire people to embrace failure, have sex with failure, go down on failure, suck and swallow failure with passion like it’s the juiciest most delicious oyster they’ve ever had. 

It’s about passionately backing curiosity and actually realising ideas we only talk about. we want to celebrate putting ideas out in the world that reach more than ten friends.

Thoughts I wanted to see was founded in 2020 by me, Sam Holt a Gadigal/ Sydney based visual artist, previous art director in creative advertising, author and all round creative slashie, as a vehicle to avoid my own regrets and make the fanciful possible.
