So real quick, I bought a house with the guy. In a nutshell the rental we were at wasn’t a good fit for us and the pups. When the opportunity arose, we took it and took it fast. While at the rental which was then an upgrade in square footage [...]

I wouldn’t have guessed that being asked to make a bathroom sign would excite me. Using my scroll saw for other work beside my animal mounts has been an idea I’ve been playing with for awhile so it was a great opportunity to be handed such a project to see [...]

Last night was a fun last minute event for me. A week before during Gallery Stroll, I met a boy named Isaac outside of Copper Palate Press where he was smoking. We were chatting it up and I learned his booth was near mine at Craft Lake City. When he [...]

Sigh. Jessica Hische (hiss-shh). What an amazing lady. No, that’s not right. Girl. No, that’s not right either. Doll face. That sounds about right. If you haven’t heard of Jessica Hische you are probably not a graphic designer. If you are a graphic designer and haven’t heard of her, then [...]
