The Bear in the Woods

A year and a half ago I invented a card game where you are a medieval peasant hunting bears (as if that made sense). Half a year ago I thought I'd make the cards for it, but now I'm actually getting on that.

Aliens and Robots

I have a habit of giving either food or t-shirts for Christmas. If you have a similar habit, but don't make t-shirts, and people are getting angry at you for giving them food for Christmas, too,† you should get in touch with me.

Aliens and robots go hand-in-hand – or hand-to-hand.

there's a companion shirt with a robot-stronaut, but it was a present to someone, so I don't have it anymore –

but you can still see the studies for the other shirt.


________________
†let it be known, despite what my critics may say, that everyone i've given food for Christmas has loved their presents.

Genies

These prints represent the completion of what has been a long-term, multi-part project.

I noticed that something in my apartment causing bad luck, so I decided to take steps to remedy the misfortune. By chance I had several tins of six-month-old dried garlic on the window sill; because of garlic's special arcane properties, these pungent heads of allium had already gone a long way to absorbing the malefic essences – I just had to give them form.

So the garlics were sealed in plates (with glue, clearly), and plasticized (plastic also has strong anti-luck properties), and the genies then materialized on paper. That really just made them more dangerous, since before there'd only been an immaterial presence. Now the concentrated force manifested as a proper genie. This was, of course, necessary for the final stage of the process, where seals were applied to the papers. Without material form the unlucky genius would have continued to pervade my apartment, but once located it can easily be bound.

These sealed genies are still dangerous; like, if I burned the papers, they'd get out, and that'd suck. But it was the right thing to do. I shouldn't keep them all in one place, though – too powerful – so if you want a genie get in touch with me and we'll discuss your stewardship of evil. You could take them and burn them in your ex's apartment or something and release the evil there, but don't go blaming me for any consequences that might arise from that.

A seal.

An evil genie.

Another evil genie.

Another evil genie, again.

Homemade

Doug models a shirt I made as part of a set for his band.

Doug models the back of the shirt.

Werebeer models itself. Part of the incentive behind making beer is making labels for it afterwards.

Bestiary

These are part of a linoleum cut series I've been working on. I'm really into the Voynich Manuscript. Although I haven't taken the time to explore it in any depth, I like the idea a lot. (this is true of my attitude towards many books). Monsters have also been a lifelong inspiration, so I settled on a Bestiary as a good project to explore carving.

The plates are written in an English alphabet loosely based on Hangul. I say loosely because English doesn't group its syllables gracefully into blocks, so it's highly imperfect.
