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.
Billy McCall of Behind the Zines got me nostalgic for the days when I was reading Razorcake Magazine. I wound up getting a subscription, and I am delighted to find that it hasn't changed one bit. I've decided to support Razorcake furter by buying ad space – that is – when I have some extra cash to do so. Here is the first ad I have submitted. I should be in the January Issue, No. 150.

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.
