Artist Books & Portfolios | Prints | Political Posters | Painting | Exhibitions
The completion of a screenprint book project titled Fascist Party Games, was a goal for 2024 that got pushed back to 2025. I'd rather been hoping it would be irrelevant, but instead we are deeper into the authoritarian oligarchy. Lots of fun games to play in this book!
I received the Art as a Hammer award for posters from the Center for the Study of Political Graphics in LA. It is the highest award for a poster maker. I am deeply honored to join the ranks of such amazing artists as Emory Douglas, Juan Fuentes and Jos Sances.
Ann Shafer interviewed me for her podcast Platemark. It's a lively discussion of art and politics and her ongoing series is fantastic. Listen (and watch!) here
I'll be at the Brooklyn Print Fair selling prints the last weekend of March 2025. It'll be a lively affair.

Continuing in my role as Minister of Culture for the homeless rights group WRAP. Actively fighting the good fight with San Francisco Poster Syndicate . And teaching drawing at San Quentin (formerly State Prison, now Rehabilitation Center in its rebranding)
Working to complete the production for a book on the history of Mission Grafica written by myself, based on conversations with several of the key players in that important print studio. Also working with several artists' estates.
And finally after much research I am able to abandon Adobe and move away from the dependency relationship that company has been creating with Photoshop, Dreamweaver etc. But that means that this website will soon be replaced by an entirely new one. This site which has been built like the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose will be coming to a crash and replaced with what I assume will be a smaller version.
