Risograph Marginalia and Marketing Dreams

Image
  'Medieval Manuscript Marginalia meets Risograph Splatter' This is 'Medieval Manuscript Marginalia meets Risograph Splatter,' a mock up that combines the inspirations for my next zine! Semi-transparent color shapes will be placed around the page to balance out the weight of clean text.  Each of the pages will be both a poster and a social media asset showcasing quirky design and awareness of typography and page layout design rules. I want to combine hand-drawn lines with vector shapes and clean font as a delightful showcase of the zine's inspirational creative guidance. (Zine text in last post.) Career development I'm hoping to use this zine as a portfolio piece for marketing, as I shift toward a career that allows me to use what I have learned in my attempts to create art businesses over the years. Every time I've come up with a business or book idea I have researched more about marketing and communication - including illustration and visual design, websit...

Express Your Weirdest Self

Wandering through Space to find home again. Stuck in Your Art? When it comes to a blank notebook, why do we run from our personal reality and weirdest truths in pursuit of something “correct”? What if your weird thoughts are the best ones to put on the page? My weird is zoomed out concepts like “Big History” and “Deep Reality” (I only made up one of these two phrases).

Zooming in and out You’ve awed at the spectacular photographs of our planet Earth, as seen from Space. You’ve seen pho...

Inaugural Post

Image
    Everything starts somewhere, eh? So here we have a new blog to share my drawings and writing. Me and social media, well we have a sh*tty relationship with each other.  I need a place to express myself in a way that I can discover new patterns in my work and observe skill improvement and style development. I want you to see that too, because seeing one artist's journey is a great way to relate to your own process over time. As ever, I plan to share ways to make art easy - especially on a regular basis in a journal. Because doing so, both in the keeping of a journal and in the sharing how-to, has saved my life over and over again. I'm currently in year 5 of drawing comics, and I'd love to have a place to keep them as the ideas grow and change.   I'm also in year 5 of making zines, though I did make some attempts in college I only got serious about finishing them in 2020. I took a break when I was too busy with work, and the past year has been a trip getting back in...
