lung book, part two…

February 2, 2017April 2, 2017 kineticprose

As I’ve mentioned a million times here, I am a slow maker of books. In moments when I finally finish things, I am reminded of why this pace is not an unfortunate thing, not something to be ashamed of. No, … Continue reading lung book, part two…

leap(ing for joy) day…

February 29, 2016May 9, 2017 kineticprose

I love Leap Day. And I love jumping for joy. And since I haven’t posted in for what seems like FOREVER, I’ve decided to combine the two while sharing some good news about my art and The Light Ekphrastic, my … Continue reading leap(ing for joy) day…

time to get a watch…

July 31, 2015October 19, 2016 kineticprose

I love to measure things. I track my food and exercise. I keep a list of all the books I read. And I used to track my steps until the doohickey on my wrist broke. Have you seen the new … Continue reading time to get a watch…

dos-à-dos for dos…

July 30, 2015October 8, 2016 kineticprose

Sometimes, one book just won’t do. In those cases…why not make one into two? The traditional dos-à-dos form does just that, combining two books back to back in a most magical way. I had the chance to make this custom … Continue reading dos-à-dos for dos…

a bird in the hand…

March 31, 2015March 1, 2016 kineticprose

I’ve made several bird-inspired books over the years. Their shapes are perfect for non-traditional book binding: wings or feathers can act as pages, after all. And when you imagine what the bird has to say beyond its specific song, it’s … Continue reading a bird in the hand…

March 16, 2015July 31, 2015 kineticprose

I am so ridiculously excited to share today’s launch of The Baltimore Ekphrasis Project, a collaboration between LED Baltimore and my journal The Light Ekphrastic. Not only is there a gigantic special issue online, the work of all 66 Baltimore-area … Continue reading words & images x 66…

December 31, 2014July 30, 2015 kineticprose

Wow, 2014…you went by in a flash! As the great Ferris Bueller once said: “If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” We certainly don’t want that. At a time when we’re thinking … Continue reading life moves pretty fast…

attack of the 50-foot portraits…

October 11, 2014July 30, 2015 kineticprose

And here’s the result of the Baltimore Portrait Project! Our portraits — my book-y one of Paola (top), and her Star Wars-y one of me — are up on the big LED board on Charles Street in Baltimore’s Station North, … Continue reading attack of the 50-foot portraits…

pop-up portrait of paola…

September 21, 2014July 30, 2015 kineticprose

I’ve mentioned before how terrific Baltimore is for artists and writers. It seems like opportunities come fast and furious here, and it’s often just as much about connecting people as it is about the work itself. The last few weeks, … Continue reading pop-up portrait of paola…

but all she believes in…

June 23, 2014July 30, 2015 kineticprose

Sometimes a project comes along that’s too cool to pass up, even when you think you’ll probably have to build a time machine to finish on time. In this case, it was an art show benefit for Baltimore poetry group … Continue reading but all she believes in…
