You gotta put it down on paper. And forget about perfect. There ain’t no such thing. Just do it. There is no perfect time, either. Just now. Shoot it, edit it, sequence it, print it, and get out your favorite …
Creative: Making the Doughnuts
Why am I doing this? It’s fun. That’s about it. Venture out, make some pictures, post them up, blog it out, and move on while secretly compiling a massive book in the background. I’ve been pondering the idea of something …
Creative: Mixed Bag
A bit of a mixed bag here. I’m back in New York, but still out on the island. Eventually, I’ll make my way into the city for the New York Art Book Fair and my subsequent Blurb duties. Talk, interview, …

Creative: New York Art Book Fair and Talk
Okay, jackals. Uncle Danno is coming to New York City to attend the NYABF and give a talk at a nearby location. After the talk, we will head to the fair, where Blurb will have a booth for the entire …
Creative: How Quickly It Goes
I still see the calendar as a large paper square comprised of smaller squares. Spiral on top, hung from the wall. Filled with pictures of Farrah or motorcycles or birds, or something less glamorous. Functional, directional, and critical. At first, …
