Howdy Humans! Knowing the importance of pleasing the wife, I
sat down today (despite a STRONG urge to do a new radio show) and put together
a new zine showcasing the photos I captured (with my phone) on our extended,
two-week vacation. This zine is heavy on the visuals and light on those pesky
words, which tend to annoy most folks. (I love words, especially confusing and
extraneous words, which is why I’m a writer / slash / artist…)
What you will find (for free, I might add) if you click the
link below is a 22 page JOURNEY through arts and sights and (a bit of)
silliness. If you just want to LOOK at the zine---it’s a PDF file---you can “left-click”
on the link and open the file in your browser, or you can download the file and
enjoy it as often as you like… Or even print the thing. The same is true of all
of my free PDFs, although the SIZES on these pieces vary. This book is 11
inches by 8.5 inches, landscape format… There are a TON of images from the San
Francisco Museum of Modern Art, which both Mariah and I found to be a great
experience, so if you want to see some of the pieces that the SFMOMA has on display
at the moment, here’s your chance.

I’d love to hear from anybody else who visited any of the
places chronicled in this zine, particularly the museum. Feel free to leave a
comment and let me know what your experiences where like! Meanwhile, I’m gonna
start putting together a radio show! (Ha!) Below, you’ll find a complete list
of the free PDFs that I’ve made available for anybody to read or download. The
point of these is to spread the love, share the art, and inspire folks to make
their own shit! DO IT! It’s easy. It’s cheap. And with the help of social
media, you can distribute your work all around the world INSTANTLY! Even if
that work is just some vacation snaps… Ha! I say, “WHY NOT?”
