Culture Magazine: Dual Culture

A while back my friend Jun Sugai from Staple Design asked if I wanted to be involved in a newsprint large format zine project. The premise initially was that everything was by hand. I did a few large ink drawings. As a drawing exercise in theme with the project I drew the pages in ink freehand with minimal pencil drafting. The drawings I submitted are part of my ongoing "Invisible Empires" series which I started in 2001. All of my drawings are rather imperfect and honest as I did not use any straight edges or fix my "mistakes" to refine things. I have yet to see them in person but you can see some sample spreads as well as purchase a copy at Jun's Blog.

Overdue Update

Sketchbook page by Ben Niznik and Bager 34
So it's been long overdue. I've spent a majority of the past month taking some away time from the computer and drafting table. There are some new projects and shows in the next few weeks which I'll be involved in. One notable item will be a zine available for purchase in my shop section. It's a collaboration between myself and the talented Ben Niznik of KlaimCo. Only 30 copies were made and only 15 available through me. They look great and can't wait to share them with you. In the mean time bare with me as I catch up and get some of the new work up.
