Sporting, Eh, Wot?


Published in the SALEM (MA) NEWS 12/21/2011:
Myopia, a very posh and Wealthy 84-acre hunting club in Hamilton is applying for Chapter 61: a tax break applied to forests, agriculture, and recreation. Of course, it wouldn't be any coincidence that Myopia also happens to be the biggest taxpayer towards Hamilton's town budget, would it? It the break goes thru, the town stands to lose around $24000.00 in revenue.

Creative Characters Xmas Card #8


My eight annual Xmas card I designed and drew for the CREATIVE CHARACTERS graphic service company in Philadelphia, PA. This we took a different approach to making it: I designed the card layout, Brigid (the company head) sent me reference material to what the Buttons/icons should look like- as well as recent staff photos, and i produced HAND-DRAWN versions of every one of those icons and faces -at a much larger size than you see on the final card-(The faces themselves were 3.5" squares!)drew the Ipad with the hands and the Ipad screen background seperately from each other, than the talented folks at CC took all my artwork, made high-quality reductions of each piece, and assembled the whole thing digitally, with a few added embelleshments. I have to say the thing came out quite good!
