Exquisite Corpse and Will Eisner Week…
This week you should join me in celebrating two art related items that are near and dear to my heart. Exquisite Corpse Week During the surrealist art movement artists would play art games. One of these playful activities was called “Exquisite Corpse” where three artists would all work on the same piece. They would fold […]
What I’ve Accomplished Today As Of 4:03PM
Now it is time to drive to Augusta, ME for a boys high school basketball duel between Washington Academy and Dirigo. Who is going to win Maine’s Class C State Championship for Boys Basketball? I don’t know but I’m still flustered it’s happening at the same time as the SU vs. Villanova game. Stay Supportive, […]
A Vegan Milk Shake Powered Corpse
I’ve only been back in Syracuse for about 48 hours. Already I’ve accomplished everything that I hoped to over my week long vacation. Last night I visited Strong Hearts Cafe which is a late night all vegan eatery that always manages to hit the spot. They have vegan milkshakes that will change your life (the […]

Every summer I design my schedule around one things: Camp Good Days And Special Times. This summer camp for children with cancer and blood disorders has […]
As Much I Openly State My Hatred For Children…
…the kids in my digital photography classes are pretty cool. Today was my first day back to teaching after a two week long vacation that consisted of vegan milkshakes, hardcore shows, family time, thrift stores, and an insane amount of traveling. Long story short, I wasn’t exactly thrilled about transitioning from my Chittenango/Syracuse (relaxed and […]
Frustrated Napkin!
I always try to explain to my students the importance of art making. I don’t explain this in a cultural sense but rather a way that will help them grasp what life would be like if we couldn’t make art. Basically, I teach them Scott McCloud’s definition of art which is that art is anything […]
I Think I’m In Love With Kate Spencer…And My DVX100
Guess What!?!?!?!?! The Panasonic DVX-100 is mine! After about two years of pinching pennies I finally saved up enough for the camera that has helped me create some of my favorite material. This baby shoots at 24 digital frames per second which gives the footage a nice filmy look. It, also, just so happens to […]
