Hallowzine is, you guessed it, a Halloween-themed zine. Clever, right? This is a collaborative project between myself and the typemaster-flex Chris Piascik. Hallowzine is jam-packed with original/never-before-seen drawings, some by Chris, some by me and a bunch that we worked together on!
Each zine features a screen-printed cover and was constructed by our hands! It's only $8!
Hallowzine was printed in an edition of 50.

Illustration students Tamara Chevlen and Josh Parkinson created a beautiful surprise for the illustration department at the Columbus College of Art and Design with their artwork on the 3 classroom chalkboards of Kinney Hall room 207 with portraits and a hand lettering design honoring famous illustrators. They worked the entire weekend in creating the chalk illustrations and typography. The hand lettering in the center says "They ended as masters, but they began as students." joshparkinson.deviantart.com/
SNL Draftsmen Reunion Portraits
Boy Yuhas has hosted a gathering of his friends and co-workers from Sandia Laboratory in the spring of each year since 2010. A group photo and portraits of first time attendees is taken and serves as the nucleus of a video that is distributed shortly before the following reunion. Typically 50 to 60 people attend each year. A total of over 90 different people attended over the five year history.
Portraits are displayed on a solid blue background reminiscent of a drawing blueprint color from many years of ago – actually pre-dating somewhat superior drawing reproductive techniques that emerged later. The portrait font for identifying names was chosen to resemble hand lettering. Most draftsmen took great pride in their hand lettering, cherishing it as an art form.
In the early years at Sandia Labs it was often joked that a draftsman could not talk without benefit of paper and pencil. Brains were wired to think in graphical terms and free hand sketches often communicated in ways that words failed.
Like Bob Yuhas, most attendees are now retired from Sandia and really appreciate getting together once a year in Bob’s Historic home in Albuquerque. Portraits are arranged alphabetically by surname in the Portraits album.

Between 1959 and 1979, Margaret’s Grocery was the only grocery store owned and operated by a Black woman anywhere along Highway 61, known as “blue highway” that runs from Minnesota down thru the Mississippi delta to New Orleans. It had your typical fare for daily life plus a jukebox and slot machine.
Margaret and her late husband ran that rural grocery outside Vicksburg, until he was fatally shot by a neighborhood kid during a robbery in the 70s. Five years later, Margaret met Reverend Dennis through the ladies at church. They married in 1979 and began to fix up the place to attract attention, so the preacher could share the word of God. (Goodbye jukebox, beer and slot machine, hello impassioned sermons and dazzling colors and signs.
Rev. Dennis began to paint the building red, white, and some blue, but Margaret added the crowning touches of pink and yellow. During WWII, he was trained as a bricklayer, and he says the pinks, yellows and reds he's painted this place with should remind people that "you can't have a bouquet of flowers without different colors. We're all God's children."
Brick towers and signs abound, welcoming “Jews and Gentiles” with various symbols of the double-headed eagle of the Prince Hall Masonic Lodge, of which he was a member. The interior of the store is elaborately decorated with beads and bold paint, and as well is the church bus, which also had pews and a pulpit for preaching.
Along with the distinctive towers that flank the complex, and the scriptures that adorn the walls, Reverend Dennis had outfitted an old school bus with an altar, and decorated it like no other.
When the Reverend was in his late 80s and couldn't hear very well, he could still outpreach just about anybody.
Things at Margaret's have changed dramatically since the passing of Reverend Dennis and his wife, Margaret. Although this premier folk art environment was bequeathed to their church, it has fallen into disrepair, with some of the pieces put into storage, with hopes that the Mississippi Folk Art Foundation can do restoration.
