Razorcake Ad

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.

Vampire Assassin Live Stream

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.

Skull & Bones Sticker

Skull & Bones

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.

Postcard Project

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.

Behind the Zines, Issue 20

Sometimes, I help out with Billy McCall's Behind the Zines. I write, layout articles or whatever I am able to do.

For Issue 20, I also provided an illustration. I was asked to draw Todd Taylor and Sean Carswell, the founders and publishers of Razorcake, browsing magizines inside a 7-Eleven.

Billy sent photos of Todd and Sean and asked that I age them back about 15 years to fit the time of the article. It was right after I put pencil to paper that I remembered; Oh right, I can't even draw hands! So getting a likeness, of now or then, is a pipe dream. I did my best and Billy seems to be okay with the result.

Turns out, I have been reading Razorcake for nearly as long as it has been around. So I am happy to have even a vague connection to it.

QRK5, Issue 16

I have published a new issue of my personal/art zine. This issue features some of my Tree Portrait oil paintings; a remembrance of Gumby creator, Art Clokey and photos shot with Kodak ColorPlus 200.

I overprinted my old Thomas Brother's Guide to make the cover, so each one is unique. At least, for the first printing they are.
