HI FRIEND
I’M BARAK. I’m an artist, actor, writer and the interim President-for-life for a forgotten secret society of the world’s most creative people.
If you’d like to learn more about me, my work, the SCA and how to give me your money and attention, please proceed.
A QUICK GUIde:
-
I’ve spent the last couple decades chasing weird ideas across a lot of different fields—acting, writing, visual art, comedy, filmmaking. I’ve performed in national commercials, TV shows, and indie features, and I’ve built a life around making things I care about.
-
You might’ve seen me in The Office, Community, or in over 100 national commercials. I also co-wrote and starred in the indie feature Spell, which we shot entirely on location in Iceland.

I make things—paintings, miniatures, charcoal portraits, dioramas, and more. A lot of it ends up in my store. I also take custom commissions if you want something personal or weird on your wall.

The Society of Creative Adventurers is a half-lost, maybe-imaginary fellowship of artists, dreamers, and creative risk-takers. I didn’t start it—I just found one of their flyers. Now I’m trying to bring it back to life.
-
I’m currently rebuilding the Society’s most sacred document: their survival manual for the creative process. It’s called The Field Guide to the Vast Sea. Part field guide, part myth, part personal reckoning—it’s the first step in a ten-volume journey.
