Shopkeeping

Friends, you may have noticed a newish link up top to a new blog of mine — one dedicated to the growing Etsy shop I talk about every now and again. So feel free to head over there and add it to your feed reader or daily rounds or however you like to surf these webs. I’ll be posting updates about what’s going in the shop, and hopefully posting some on my creative process and…

Tending shop

Last week I applied for and secured a booth at Cooper-Young Festival, where I hope to sell photo prints (framed and un-) and stationery, as well as take orders for custom designs should people be interested in that sort of thing. I’ve also got some other artsy crapola knocking around in my head that I hope to be able to hammer out between now and then. I’ve never done a festival before so trying to…

Shameless self-promotion: Recorded yapping edition

Remember this bit of strategic foreshadowing? No? Well, that’s why Al Gore invented the hyperlink. So my pal Ed and I sat down and had a little chat about the social web and what a sticky wicket it is, and we recorded that conversation for posterity and for a time capsule element I will one day beam into my children’s head pods’ humor modules. My one regret is that I was having such a mouth-stuffing…

Another way to waste the day

I have a Tumblr. I’ve had it for a long time, but never done anything with it since I’ve got the blog and the Twitter and the Flickr and the dear god all that other crap. I finally figured out what to use it for. Phone photodump! You know, if you are into that sort of thing.

Day 19/365: This White Girl Can’t Jump

Those knuckleheads at Flyer put me on the awesome 20 Under 30 list this year! I am very flattered to be included with such an awesome group of locals. I’m also incredibly ashamed of my lack of superhero trampoline jumping skills. Look at the air some of these kids got! Zach cheated and wore his space booster shoes, I’m almost positive. And can you believe that a full 10 percent of this list graduated in…

But the best thing about me is how humble I am

It snowed the day after Christmas. I found some virgin snow at the parents’ house. The rest is self-explanatory. The amazing thing here is how there’s not a single dog paw print anywhere near this piece o’ work. THAT is talent, my friends. Whose? Not sure.

New stuff in the shop

  My apologies to those of you who have seen this on the Tweet-o-sphere and the Facebooktubes already, but I’m trying to reach eyeballs. Lots and lots of eyeballs. The thing is this: I am selling holiday cards made from my photos in the Etsy shop. One features this bird print and the other features this snowy branch print (both of which are also for sale in several sizes). Fun fact about these cards: If…

‘I’M AL QAEDA’ design

The CA, for a few months now, has been receiving letters from self-identified jihadist Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad as he spends time in prison for his part in the death of one soldier and the injury of another at a military recruiting center in Little Rock. This past Sunday, we printed some excerpts of those letters, in which Muhammad describes his purpose and what he sees as an all-out war on Uncle Sam by those Muslims…

Just call me ‘shopkeep’

Finally, after wanting to do so for a long time and just never really being able to pull the trigger on it, I’ve opened an Etsy shop. Right now there are photo prints available as well as one framed collage-type item, but I’m busting ass to add more things that, hopefully, people will want to buy. Eventually I want to add customizable stationery designs, but that’s going to take some time since the few designs…

Shameless self-promotion: This time with more hot wet voting action*!

Okay. I am kind of squeamish about doing this, but the way I see it, the best-of-Memphis competitions have for too long been dominated by the same blogger, and it’s time to knock the tube-top obsessed off the leaderboard. Fire sale information and salacious and sometimes clandestinely taken pictures of tanned and tipsy women are great and all, I guess**, but there are other blogs out there that deserve some love too. And no, I’m…
