It’s sublime, to go into another room and make pictures. It’s magic time, where all your weaknesses of character, the blemishes of your personality, whatever else torments you, fades away, just doesn’t matter. You’re doing the one thing you want to do and you do it well and you know you do it well, and… you’re happy. The whole promise is to do the work, sitting down at the drawing table, turning on the radio, and I think, what a transcendent life this is, that I’m doing everything I want to do. In that moment, I feel like I’m a lucky man.

Mesmerising video of Zammuto rehearsing ‘The Shape of Things To Come’ from their self-titled record, which is tremendous and available to purchase at all the places you would hope. It’s one of my favourite releases so far this year, besides Lambchop’s Mr. M, Hospitality’s Hospitality, Ramona Falls’ Prophet, and Au’s Both Lights.

I am super sad to be missing out on this year’s Pick Me Up at Somerset House (which I was lucky enough to participate in the first and second years of along with my Evening Tweed cohorts). I’ll be there in spirit however, as People of Print will be printing tees live at the show with designs from 11 designers/illustrators, including this little castle chap of mine.

Great news! You can now pick up all the work from the Triforce Tribute show (
including my letterpress ‘Inventory’ print, seen abovebut not mine, as it just sold out) right here!Thanks to everybody who came out to the opening night at Land, and to Jolby and Always With Honor for putting together such a fantastic show - it was a pleasure to be a part of it. Also a pleasure: Portland’s many fine restaurants, book stores, and wooded areas.

Glaciers
New Mythologies
Origins, 2012My friend Nicholas writes and records music under the name Glaciers, and just put out a collection of odds and ends which includes this beautiful song. There’s a little melody at 1:06 that does wonderful things to my brain and my guts, more than 5 notes should perhaps be able to. Find Origins (and others) here.

A very handsome combination of colour and type found by Stow Lake.

Desk One is a friendly, functional little desk with a ton of character made by Another Country. I’d buy this in a heartbeat for my new place if I had $1300 burning a hole in my pocket, but sadly that is not the case. This Stash Desk from Blu Dot is a decidedly cheaper alternative.
