SPX 2014
All I ever write about on here is SPX. Of course, that’s mostly because SPX is the fall harvest festival directly before the Fiscal New Year – and I like to keep my thoughts about it someplace permanent instead of a blink and forget it stream of consciousness site like Tumblr. This year’s SPX was…Read more
SPX 2013
In the hours after the show ended, I told Sam Marx (one of the organizers) that SPX is my favorite holiday, better than Christmas. I was not being hyperbolic – SPX is, far and away, the most anticipated event on my calendar. Everything in my life gets organized around it. Backing up and thinking about…Read more
SPX 2012
As we were eating dinner on Sunday night after the show, my wife pointed out that the last post on this site is last year’s SPX wrapup. Whoops. In the week leading up to the show, I did the math and figured out this was my tenth visit to SPX, five years as a vendor…Read more
SPX 2011 Wrapup and Decompression

Ninety plus days later and I’m off the follow-up meds and feeling strong and productive….Read more

I have been making digital collage for the better part of a decade, long enough that I am comfortable and confident in my abilities – almost to the point of complacency. In the Spring of 2009, I decided that I wanted to try something different; I wanted to try making art with my own two…Read more
The Lungs of the World
I’ve always said that I can’t draw and I’ve always meant it. In the spring of 2009, I decided to find out exactly how badly I can’t draw. I keep buying art supplies in the hopes that I can make interesting things with them, but I never do. Over the course of several weeks, I used…Read more
HeroesCon
I just got back from HeroesCon and I haven’t even unpacked the car yet. It was good to meet so many great, creative people who have such a passion for the medium. The conventions I usually go to do not have a lot of people in costumes, so it was really neat to see these…Read more
