Where is he now?
After several years away (college, traveling, living in Boston)
I returned home to the California Bay Area, where I’m now living.
In the winter of 2007 I created my 7 River Riddles book, which includes illustrations drawn from photos I’d taken while guiding in Idaho.
I scanned, typeset, printed, bound and signed an edition of 349 books, to sell for the holidays. I still have a handful of this limited edition available for sale, but have turned to the world of affordable on-demand printing for the future. You can look at my Bookstore for product details.
After my holiday book sale I began working for my father’s puppy training companies. Initially hired to edit a new training DVD, I have since become integrally involved in bringing Sirius Puppy Training and James & Kenneth Publishers into the twenty-first century, mostly via our free dog training website, DogStarDaily.com. It’s also been a wonderful chance for me to put some of my video editing and graphic design skills to use.
In the fall of 2008, Trina and I moved into the house where I grew up, which my father had been renting out for the past twenty years to a series of pretty messy tenants. Together with our housemate Cody, we keep a cozy home with lots of home-grown veggies, home-cooked food and home-brewed beer.
We’ve fixed up the front stairs, added fresh paint, new tile, a dual purpose book-shelf staircase, a giant bamboo box and renovated the creepy dilapidated shed out back into a mojito hut with a sunroof, a bar and a
freshly seeded lawn.
Since living at 65th St I’ve completed my first couple of oil paintings since college, as well as self-published
Gordy McGranite Grapples with Gradients.
a children’s book about calculus that I wrote
and illustrated with my good friend Patrick Hamilton.
With the help of CreateSpace, I’m able to have my books printed and bound on-demand to either sell myself or through Amazon.
Over the past few years I’ve been working on a project called the Universe Verse. It’s a series of three
rhyming comic books which explain the origins of
pretty much everything. So far I’ve finished
writing, editing and illustrating Books 1 & 2:
BANG! The Universe Verse: Book 1
It’s Alive! The Universe Verse: Book 2
I am currently working on promoting Book 2,
but it won’t be long before I’m hard at work illustrating Book 3, about the origin of the human race.
