How to make a newspaper blackout poem
Next week I’m going to be an artist-in-residence at All Saints’ Episcopal School in Fort Worth, Texas. The teachers asked if I had a video explaining how to make a newspaper blackout poem. I didn’t, so I made one. Enjoy.

Ten years
Ten years ago I started posting to this blog.
One little blog post is nothing on its own, but publish a thousand blog posts over a decade, and it turns into your life’s work. This blog has been my sketchbook, my studio, my gallery, my storefront, and my salon. Absolutely everything good that has happened in my career can be traced back in some way to this blog. My books, my art shows, my speaking gigs, some of my best friendships—they all exist because I have my own little piece of turf on the Internet.
Thank you for reading. I hope I can go ten more.
The search for ideas
I’m continuing to have fun taking an X-Acto to the newspaper instead of a marker, though I fear the TSA will make me leave it at home for the upcoming tour…
Newspaper popouts
This week I traded my marker for an X-acto blade. It was one of those switches that seems obvious in hindsight, but I can’t say there was anything intentional about it. Just sort of happened. (Certainly inspired by the work of Brian Dettmer, Kelli Anderson, and Andrea Dezso.) Follow along as I make them on Twitter or Instagram.
