War is sHELLs

"WAR is sHELLs" It's from a photograph I took on Santa Cruz island of a large collection of sea shells (spider crab, urchin, mussel, etc.) sitting atop a picnic table. This image looks like (and is a sort of) a mass grave. War is all about shells, ammunition, carcasses, bombed out buildings, bombed out psyches, bombed out lives, shell shock, shell casings, etc. Hollow remains. War is Hell. WAR is sHELLs. Thanks for looking.

My other more political pieces include: Fences, and Food Pyramids. 
You can find all three aceos (2.5 x 3.5 inches) in my etsy store.

One Year


Well, it's been one year since I bought my Gocco printer and started doing art and cards. It was also about this time last year that I began writing poetry and playing ukulele! So it's been quite a burst of creative energy. It's been super fun, and hopefully I have improved! Thanks to everyone who has supported me in these efforts both with your purchases and kind words. Thanks!

"De Colores" and "Bio-Goop?" bookmarks available soon!



Faced with 200 2" strips left over from card making, I've decided to do bookmarks. It does not exactly feel like my creative energies are flowing freely, but I've tried to remain patient (with myself, my equipment, my wife and kids). I think it's paid off, as I now have 120 nearly completed IIYE bookmards. I did one that I'm calling "De Colores," in celebration of the wonderful diversity of this planet, in vibrant reds, yellows, oranges, and pinks with blue and green dots!. The other is drying, and not named as yet, but is in greens, browns, with dashes of color, and reminds me of "bio-goop," so maybe that's the name? They come signed, in a sturdy vinyl sleeve, with a length of chord, and an inkinyoureye logo on the back.
