Postcard Project
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.
Behind the Zines, Issue 20
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.
