Valentines Day Card

A Valentine’s Day card for my lovely wife.

Minnesota Prison Writing Workshop Bookmark

I was lucky enough to be contacted by the Minnesota Prison Writing Workshop to help create a bookmark. The MPWW brings fiction writing, essay writing, poetry, spoken word, oral story telling, children’s literature, fantasy writing, and more to prisons throughout Minnesota.

The Agile League

The Agile League is a great group of Ruby developers out of Atlanta that were looking for a personal way to say thank you to clients after a project’s completion. Having worked with them in the past, I suggested creating a nice 3-color print with their vintage superhero style shield.

Superman: Red Son

What would DC’s world look like if Kal-El’s ship landed 12 hours later? Instead of growing up with Ma and Pa Kent, he grew up in a communist farming collective behind the Iron Curtain in Ukraine? What if the USSR had a god backing its nuclear arsenal? The implications and shifts in characters all spin from this point, crafting a perfect alternate history timeline within the DC Universe.

Dry Fly Washington Wheat

Washington Wheat has a soft and light-orange color that can fool you into thinking the nose will be the same. It starts with a smooth spice that masks a subtle fruity flavor underneath. Draw in a few more times and you pick up the oak barrels used for aging.

Obsidian Portal Card

One of my first freelance jobs a decade ago when I was a young pup was creating a logo for a tabletop management system called Obsidian Portal.

Viking Postcard–Part 3

Last, but not least, The Striking Viking! Who said the Viking doesn’t clean up, because he’s one handsome fella.

Viking Postcard–Part 2

I tried to save the inks from the first one, but the cheap containers I purchased turned the ink into a gooey nightmare. Having to remix was fine, but it means the colors will all be slightly off between cards.

Viking Postcard – Part 1

I’ve been trying to step away from my code-based life and have some fun with illustration. To be honest, I’m horrible at it, but still find it damn fun.

Spring Wheat Whiskey

I picked this one up while visiting Missoula over Christmas, and am glad I did. A very sweat carmel smell with a matching taste flowing with fruit, this is one flavorful whiskey.

Young Liars

One of my favorite EPs of all time. I already own the CD, but couldn’t pass up a chance to get this in vinyle. The bass, razor sharp guitar, and magnetic vocals make up a textured sound that’s hard to match.

The January Dancer

The characters are unique and all have strong distint voices, the setting is interesting and dynamic. It’s the most literary science fiction I’ve read for a long time, and I’m comfortable giving it a good rating before finishing.
