Chip Von Gunten

I’m a creator built from late nights and hard lessons, when life knocks you down and dares you to get back up. My work is somewhere between reflection and rebellion, where grit beats perfection and honesty cuts through the noise. There’s beat in what I write and blues in the margins.

I like people who think differently and who aren’t afraid to question the usual way of things. My kind of truth shows up in the everyday—over a cup of coffee at a local diner, or in a classic riddle of truth passed down from the ancients.

I like to stir the pot to spark conversations that challenge old assumptions and to aim for something a bit more honest, a bit more decent. I spend my time researching the unknown unknowns, pushing back against the ordinary. If the meaning of life is to give life meaning, then that’s the compass rose.
