Thanks for visiting my website. I'm trained as a stage designer and spent many years as a motion picture cameraman. These days, I draw, paint and make photos. I also publish my own zine.
This week I uploaded a new design to my RedBubble sticker shop; Skull & Bones. The image is available as a sticker, a button or a magnet. I upload designs for my own use but make them public in case anyone else wants one. All the products on RedBubble are grossly overpriced. Much like Spotify and YouTube, RedBubble takes a huge cut off the top, leaving the creators mere pennies.
I've been working on a new batch of handmade postcards. While it's going well, translating loose ideas into a physical form is never as straightforward as it seems. No matter how much I plan ahead, the results are always mixed. Some cards turn out great, some are just okay, and a few head straight to the recycling bin.
This batch of cards is a mix of college, drawing and painting. I normally use acrylic binder as glue, but this time I am testing out wheat paste. More on that later.
Sometimes, I help out with Billy McCall's Behind the Zines. I write, layout articles or whatever I am able to do.
For Issue 20, I also provided an illustration. I was asked to draw Todd Taylor and Sean Carswell, the founders and publishers of Razorcake, browsing magizines inside a 7-Eleven.
Billy sent photos of Todd and Sean and asked that I age them back about 15 years to fit the time of the article. It was right after I put pencil to paper that I remembered; Oh right, I can't even draw hands! So getting a likeness, of now or then, is a pipe dream. I did my best and Billy seems to be okay with the result.
Turns out, I have been reading Razorcake for nearly as long as it has been around. So I am happy to have even a vague connection to it.
