Issue 21 of Billy McCall's Behind the Zines is out now. Its a zine about zines. White I did not write an article for this issue, I did the layouts for pieces written by Todd Taylor, Kari Tervo, Brigitte, and Steven Svymbersky.
I really liked all the articles, especially Steven's on Pandemonium, a rare, out-of-print, zine I had never even heard of.

I have published a new issue of my personal/art zine. This one features digital pictures from my newest camera; the Chuzhao mini. The zine has 14 full-color images with a little history and info about the camera.
I sent Billy some quick rough sketches, he latched on to this one instantly. His only note was could the reader could be less generic, and thus, a magenta faux-hawk was born.
Billy McCall of Behind the Zines got me nostalgic for the days when I was reading Razorcake Magazine. I wound up getting a subscription, and I am delighted to find that it hasn't changed one bit. I've decided to support Razorcake furter by buying ad space – that is – when I have some extra cash to do so. My first ad should be in the February/March Issue, No. 150.
This Halloween at 8pm Pacific, you can watch a livestream of one of my moives on YouTube.
I only found out about this today. Sorry for the short notice. Here is the blurb with the info and a link to the IMDB page.
On Friday, October 31, at 8 PM EST, join cult filmmaker and martial arts icon Ron Hall for a live Halloween night livestream on YouTube (@RonHallKungFuBro), where he’ll share behind-the-scenes stories, personal reflections, and the wild journey of making one of the most infamous low-budget films of all time.

This week I uploaded a new design to my RedBubble sticker shop; Skull & Bones. The image is available as a sticker, a button or a magnet. I upload designs for my own use but make them public in case anyone else wants one. All the products on RedBubble are grossly overpriced. Much like Spotify and YouTube, RedBubble takes a huge cut off the top, leaving the creators mere pennies.
I've been working on a new batch of handmade postcards. While it's going well, translating loose ideas into a physical form is never as straightforward as it seems. No matter how much I plan ahead, the results are always mixed. Some cards turn out great, some are just okay, and a few head straight to the recycling bin.
This batch of cards is a mix of college, drawing and painting. I normally use acrylic binder as glue, but this time I am testing out wheat paste. More on that later.
