You know, christmas and shit.
Sorry, I don’t really design for the web. But that’s from a holiday card I made this year.
I’ve got a strange love/hate relationship with Christmas. For one thing, as I get older, it gets stranger and stranger, and is mostly the time when I watch my family changing. (I sort of see them in stop-animation, [...]

Red & Black Ball, Rescheduled
The Red & Black Ball has been rescheduled for January 2nd. Anyhow, this is a flyer I designed for the event, even though I won’t be able to make it myself, as I will be in New Orleans. Eventually I’ll stop using the font “Headline One” so much, I promise. But it’s such a nice [...]

Snowstorm.
It’s snowing in Baltimore. Like, a lot. This could actually fall under the Things I Love, Things I Hate category: it’s beautiful outside, and wandering around is like wandering around an abandoned city, in a lot of ways. On the other hand, the Red & Black Ball was supposed to be tonight, but it was [...]

Come Hell or High Water
My friends over at AK Press are now taking pre-orders for a book that’s coming out in January, Come Hell or High Water: A Handbook for Collective Process Gone Awry, which I’ve had the pleasure to read because I designed it (and Strangers In A Tangled Wilderness provided the illustrations, including the cover).
This book is [...]

Why I Like Derrick Jensen
When people find out that I’ve interviewed Derrick Jensen, I get a lot of different responses. From the anarchist scene, most of these are negative. “Oh, he’s not really an anarchist.” Well, I’ve talked to him at length about how he politically identifies in relation to anarchism, and published the results in Mythmakers.

Dodgem Logic: Now that’s what I’m talkin’ about
I got my copy of Alan Moore’s new underground magazine Dodgem Logic in the mail a few days ago and have been reading through it, pretty excitedly. Just finished it last night. And this thing is weird. Yet accessible. It’s very clearly in the spirit of 1960’s counterculture magazines, complete with the bizarre cartoon nudity, [...]
