Not My Photos // Brianne’s First Roll
Normally I don’t feature other people’s work on my blog, just to keep it relevant. But since I made it a point to share the link love more often, and since I’ve been meticulously documenting my friend and eternal muse, Brianne’s, foray into film photography, and since so many people have been asking about her...
By/For Cat Loving Photo Geeks
If you haven’t heard the news already, I’ve started a new tumblr dedicated to exceptional and artful photographs of cats, called Frida Calico.
It’s basically just me raiding all of my Flickr contacts’ streams with the occasional commentary / shout out, but I felt like the internet was really lacking in quality cat blogs and...
And I’m Free (Freelensing!)
I’ve recently become aware of the photographic technique known as “freelensing.” This is done in lieu of owning a $2,000 tilt-shift lens for your dSLR and it’s pretty effective if you can get the hang of it.
In theory, it sounds easy peasy – take your lens off your camera, hold it up to your...
The Numbers of the Beasts
On our first trip to Guapo Comics & Coffee, Ben and I ended up buying the same thing: The Numbers of the Beast by Shawn Cheng. A beautifully illustrated 28-page mini-book that counts from 1 to 12 (that’s Cyclops to Scylla).
Epic Adventür
A little while ago my best friend, Ban, had talked about tentatively putting together a D&D campaign that’s run through the mail. He had all kinds of his own special twists to the idea – like having the story be told through drawings by the players – which we immediately volunteered to be beta-testers for....
Belly Flop
Today’s Chris and I’s designated “internet free” day. Every Thursday we’re allowed one hour of internet, and then we have to find better things to do, so I just wanted to pop in real quick and re-announce the re-emergence of my Tumblr!
The Velveteen Rabbit
Remember my friend Jillian, who got the wrist cuff of Henry Darger’s Vivian Girls?
Well, I opened up my inbox the other day and found out she’d run off and gotten yet another gorgeous tattoo, this time of the Velveteen Rabbit!

Cat-O-Lantern
(via Paul Israel)
I’m feeling unusually drained– plus Felix was never one to live up to his duties as a Halloween cat– so I thought I’d snag one of Paul‘s festive cat portraits for this Caturday. He’s been growing quite the amazing gallery of street cats on his Flickr lately… And what’s not to love about...
Music Challenge
(via riot jane)
Chris recently posted a song on his blog that I had wrote the lyrics and (very basic) chord changes to some years ago. He recorded a version of it upon finding the text file on his computer and called it “Loud and Brave.”
Now he’s asking folks to record their own version of the...
Mr. Toledano
Phillip Toledano‘s website first came to my attention when I tried searching for photography projects dealing with video games. He took a series of portraits showing the expressions people make when they play video games. It wasn’t exactly what I was looking for, so I moved on and continued my search…
More recently, these photos from...
Adventures in Music
Once, when I was still under the delusion that I could play music, Chris and I decided to start a two-man band. This was my first woodcut and our first poster ever. :P
As I’m sure every artist will agree, everyone has their ups and downs in terms of creative flow.
