August Update
Hello Patrons! First off, if you've come for the Saturday $20+ post, I put it up on Wednesday for the sole reason Sylvie is really dang popular.
I just did a mini tour of Portland, Seattle and Columbus OH, doing 9 shoots with a v...

Hello patrons! Doing a little experiment with my Etsy shop by having a huge 40% off sale, literally 40% off everything including all prints, Polaroids, view masters, zines, stickers etc. It is a "buy 2 or more and get 40% off" kind of thing...

$40 patrons have been getting zines + 3 instant film prints in the mail (when I have their address), until now mostly those zines have been material I made within the last 4 years.
While I've done some new things via FedEx/ Kinkos copy machine, I've been looking for a way to make a consistently well-craf...

In addition to the zines I just mentioned, I've been trying my hand at some new kinds of media. Last night was my first experience with Procreate and the Apple Pencil and here's what I made whilst watching one of my favorite horror films The VVitch with my ladies.
One is just randomness from the noggin, 2 are char...

Quick update! I've been making tons of zines and books this year, the traditional was with copy machines and the more elevated trade book material. Also learning how to hack the copy machine near me to get more weird effects.
What I've found though is that I can do short run, quality print...

Hello Patrons! The last 2 weeks a ton of things changed for me and I thought I'd give an update on the going ons of the studio.
Creative-wise, I've been doing freelance character animation, VR art, oil painting, Polaroid shoots, linocut and comics. I also published 2020-04-18 16:00:01 +0000 UTC View Post

Hello Patrons! First I wanted to say "thank you" for sticking around. I don't know what life is like for many of you but obviously there's a lot of heavy stuff happening and I'm amazed at the support artists are getting at a time of crisis.
Though shooting is the farthest from most people's minds, I have a n...

Hello Patrons, I'd love to hear how you're holding up wherever you are!

Hello Patrons! I started writing this all cheery before Spring Break and a week later, I'm trying to finish writing it in a coffee shop in San Francisco in the midst of a virus epidemic/ hysteria/ thing I can't control. I'm about to go do a shoot with @kisahues, then one tomorrow with @haleythonen in Sacramento, a...

Hello patrons! I've just made a series of publications summarizing the last several years' worth of series - I think physical books, zines, tradebooks, prints etc. are essential to being a maker. Digital products are so ephemeral and cannot make the same authentic personal connection to an audience or even create ...

I had a super spontaneous and brief shoot with Riley at the start of December due to my trip falling exactly when she was working her day job, but she still came and killed it in 30 minutes!

Hello Patrons! I'm so looking forward to 2020 as a more stable year for me personally and the 50/50 chance we as a species could be done with Trump.
This year I did more model shoots than I ever did (mostly with brand-new people), did more freelance work and sold more work on Etsy and changed jobs more freq...

Lynette - The Basement Tape
Shot in the basement of a Portland bar with Lynette Brooks in late November! I'd shot in this environment a few years back but the work was unreleased when the model at the time thought it was too dark and weird. Glad to work with someone who feels differently!

This is an animated documentary short that I’ve been working on and off with for 2 years, finally edited for what would have been my hero Phil Ochs’ 79th birthday. It’s told entirely in his words and it the story of a humanist and idealist artist at the end of his life and struggling with what ultimately is a suic...

Heather aka @shysugarglider is a Seattle model + hmua I've worked with 3 times this year, but this was our first "real" studio one! So nice to not have to put up with Seattle weather for once!

One final shoot this year with my good buddy Riley in Seattle, with 4 minute makeup by @shysugarglider and about 5 minutes of studio time. All of these are for sale, signed by Riley and myself, in my Etsy shop!

Another round of collaboration with Ariah Hedin and hmua Jossy Manness and the blood makeup, but this time making use of a warping material I found in the Nashville studio by pure coincidence!

Hello patrons! I'm back from San Diego, shooting with long-time collaborator McKenzie Eckels and her new husband Beau DuBois, where I did a combo of medium format, digital and Polaroid.
