Typography Fun
Here’s some more fun with typography… again with a message you’ll likely see coming from me regularly.
A Theme for Autumn
According to my calendar, autumn started back in September. According to my senses it’s just about coming around… now. I was just checking out the 10 day forecast and it looks like this will be our first full week with high temps under the 80’s here in AZ. Still summer weather for most climates but […]
Fault Lines
I created this graphic for a friend as sort of a branding to be used throughout his published project for his doctorate. His project includes an appendix which was created to be a resource for staff pastors who experience abrupt senior pastor transition (i.e., the senior pastor position suddenly becomes vacant due to death, disgrace, division, etc.). The […]
Wright
Jessi and I went with a friend and took a tour of Taliesin West last Saturday and it was absolutely amazing and inspiring. It was a much needed experience as I’ve been completely bogged down lately with school and work. I am in the middle of my teacher certification courses and have spent the last couple of […]
New Chanter
My new instrument just came in this week from pipe maker, Kirk Lynch of Missouri. It took him about a year and three months to make and I’m very excited to have received such a quality instrument from a craftsman such as Mr. Lynch. Wow, photographing instruments indoors without a lighting kit is VERY difficult. […]

We had some very interesting weather here yesterday; triple digits in the afternoon but by 4:00 pm we had dropped 30 degrees and had heavy rain, lightning and thunder. This picture was taken about thirty minutes before the storm hit […]
My First Reed pt.2
I had a reader request to see a closer picture of what a double reed looks like. I threw in some other stuff to show a few of the different stages which lead to the finished product. Starting on the far left you can see a tube of arundo donax cane. My source for cane is […]
My First Reed
Wow, so a busy couple of weeks. I haven’t posted anything since the 20th but that’s okay; this blog was intended to be an outlet and not just another “thing” for me to have on my plate so as long as it serves me, and not I it, I’m okay with a bit of slack now […]
First You Must Learn the Grip
Séamus Ennis was an Irish piper, singer and folklorist, born in Dublin in 1919. He died the same year I was born, in 1982. The image I created here is based on a picture of Ennis which was featured on an lp album cover for his 1959 release, The Bonny Bunch of Roses. The text is […]
