Past Ten + A View From the Keyboard...

And so time marches on…

Here’s to hoping you are all warm, safe, happy, and not too hungover, and don’t have to be to work today! Unless you want or need to be, and don’t really mind. I hope you got to spend time with family and friends over the past couple weeks, or just relax next to a fire, or in a warm tub, or even just lounge about in a robe all day, drinking White Russians and watching The Big Lebowski.

If you have a few minutes and are curious about A VIEW FROM THE KEYBOARD of yours truly, you can see a pic of the spot I did a fair amount of writing and editing of Chinese Gucci, and read a little excerpt too. And if you woke up wondering “where was Hosho ten years ago today,” you’re in luck…as I’ve written about exactly that (and about my tumultuous relationship with ambition) over at PAST TEN. I’d like to thank the editors of both spots for giving me a little space to blather on, and, of course, to you all for your interest and support.

Happy 2019 to you and yours!

Burning River and the Alibi...

Chris Bowen, who I’ve shared a press and a cover designer with over the years, was kind enough to give me some space to ramble (and post my cool bookmaking video) over at his Burning River blog. It was a good time, and speaks a bit to how and why we should each find our own way. You can read it HERE.

And the Arts Editor Maggie Grimason over at The Alibi asked me a few questions about Chinese Gucci, which was mighty kind of her! Pop on over for a read and maybe let them know you enjoyed it…and possibly even defend me against my (actual, truly) good buddy Craig’s slanderous (and hilarious) claims!
