Wake the Encylopedia Salesman from his Long Slumber
Wake the Encylopedia Salesman from his Long Slumber Some point late last month I was made aware that my career trajectory was more expansive than I thought. First google decided I was important enough to get a little profile card when you google me. And I see why, as I was the head of media […]
Where We’re At And Where We’re Going
Where We’re At and Where We’re Going Backwood Folk ISSUE TWO: Dry County Spirits coming soon! The here and hereafter intersect at the Po’Dunk Farmer’s Market when Lilian learns her dairy products are less desired than her ability to commune with the dead. Benedict has car trouble, and Cub learns where goats go when they die. […]
Be Still My Variety Show Heart
Be Still My Variety Show Heart First and foremost, I believe in tangents. I can never deny a new side-road just adjacent to the well-beaten track. It’s also inherently funny to put a guy who tells stories in pictures on a stage to tell stories without them, and I can’t resist a good bit. So […]
Talking Events Beget Talking Events
Talking Events Beget Talking Events Hey friends! First off, looks like I’m going on tour! I’ll be opening a night of live music, portraits, record pop-ups, and more with some folktale inspired stories! If you are in Fayetteville, Springfield, or Tulsa you should drop on by and see the Freshgrass Revue Tour. If you are […]
Weddins and Other Events
WEDDINS AND OTHER EVENTS If you caught a little sense of radio silence from the website it was not your imagination. I was off getting married deep in the woods of the Ozarks with as many of my friends and family as we could arrange. The business of weddings is often stressful and definitely busy, […]
The Self Education of Hazel T. Cat
The Self Education of Hazel T. Cat There are four cats in our house between my fiance and myself. This was not entirely on purpose. Any owner of multiple cats understands. There’s a sort of accumulation that sneaks up on you. Though our orange cat, a particularly orange cat in the annals of cat behavior, […]
The Future of America As Seen in Some Dungeon in Norrath
Hey friends! As threatened, I’ve decided to keep blogging. Probably an insane point in American current events to start doing that, but maybe a more necessary time to keep record of my thoughts than any of the End of Histories I was told I was growing up in. Ultimately, this felt like a better use […]
Website Overhaul and Backwood Folk 2025
WEBSITE OVERHAUL AND BACKWOOD FOLK IN 2025 Howdy friends and readers, weird times. Get sick of saying that, bet everyone gets sick of hearing it too. Afraid as always it’s a longer haul than anyone cares for. I’ll probably be blaring the Dead Flag Blues on repeat like I have the last year and change. […]
SPA-CON 2025’s POSTER REVEALED
SPA-CON 2025’s POSTER REVEALED Hey friends! Spa-Con just released the new poster for 2025’s convention. Happy to announce I’m back in the saddle doing the art for it! I’m really stoked how this one came out. Spa-Con 2025 will be September 19-21 next year. I’ll almost certainly be there, and hope to see you there […]
One Hell of a Night
ONE HELL OF A NIGHT I can’t express how grateful I am to all of y’all for showing up at Pearl’s Books on December 4th for our little night of ghosts stories and folk music. I’ve mused about it before (but never on this blog, so get ready for a rerun) but a lot of […]
New Ozarks Ghosts at Pearl’s Books
Hey friends, weird week. Anyways, I’ll be at Pearl’s Books on the Fayetteville Square this December 4th to read some ghost stories I’ve written. Along side me will be Christopher Felton of Southern Terminus Recording to perform some folk songs (with some special guests) These are gunna be my stab at contemporary folk tales. Aka […]
Halloween on Little Rock Public Radio
HALLOWEEN ON LITTLE ROCK PUBLIC RADIO Hello friends! Happy Halloween! I recently recorded a lovely little interview with Nathan Treece of Little Rock Public Radio for their Halloween programming. We go through a few of our regional monsters and cryptids, including some of the lesser known fellas. I also say some potentially controversial things about […]

Look Ma, I’m on TV
https://youtu.be/WYWrh8uSzW4?si=_bVNJ07_0Ifnk0PC As promised! Here is my appearance on Later with Jason Suel! We recorded this early September, and the funniest time stamp of that would be my hair. Have a system that somewhat developed on accident where I don’t cut my hair until I finish a project. And well my haircut was scheduled later that […]
The First Month!
THE FIRST MONTH This has certainly been the most wild month I’ve had in years. I don’t have too many comic updates just some pictures, links, and requisite tangents. Spa-Con Infinity was a blast this year. I’ve been attending Hot Springs’ Con since 2017 (spare a covid year or two)and always have had a blast. […]
