ABOUT

i grew up in southern california during the 60s + 70s so i can’t help but be influenced by the crafts + design of that time. please think of this blog as a sketchbook where i share some of these influences.

new books mentioned in this blog

i am acquainted with a few publicists who work for publishers that publish craft and design books. they occasionally send me review copies of their latest offerings. if i choose to do so i sometimes make mention of these books if i think the readers of this blog might be interested in hearing what i think about them. in some cases these are books that i have contributed to and of course want to lend a hand in the promotion of them.
