So, every year at Thanksgiving, we travel to Uncle Barry’s(not to be confused with my brother, Little Barry who comes on here every so often) house in Maryland. When we leave, we are certain to leave an echo of our brain-stimulating presence by drawing in chalk all over the walkway. Typically, there is a winterContinue reading “Uncle Barry’s Sidewalk”

A little something for the X mas season. “Many gifts.”
Nectar Collector
I invented a new board game about bees collecting different colored nectar. The object of the game is to collect one drop of each color of nectar first. Hazards along the way include thorny brambles, sticky dew drops, and spiders. The key mechanic of the game is the wind. At the beginning of each turn,Continue reading “Nectar Collector”
Boyds #1 and 2
In the summer of 2K6 I took the bus up to Alexandria to visit Tim. We were talking about funny tag names.“Ok, ok, how about one with a b, an o and a y?”“Boydz” So I had some paper there and I drew a little grumpy bird with a cigar and some scraggly feathers.

The Official Halloween Post
Boo! The Jack o’ Lantern is one simple and fun creative act that almost everyone has participated in at some point. Unfortunately, it seems like these days everbody and their sister is using stencils, instead of their natural brain energy. I think stencils are for the birds, personally. The left, cyclopean pumpkin is mine. OnContinue reading “The Official Halloween Post”

Unexplained Circumstances Comics, Episode 1
So, here’s a little comic I made. Surprisingly, it is partially based on true events from my life. Case in point, I did receive 10 dollars and did not get hit by lightning shortly afterwards. They say art imitates life, after all.
Fresh, Homemade Boardgame
Well everyone, somehow it feels like the right time for posting on Carboard Rhino. This time, I’ll be displaying my latest most favorite venue for personal expression: the board game. The continuing success of strongly themed, elegant, and thoughtful German Style boardgames (or “eurogames”) has fueled the argument that games are an art form. ForContinue reading “Fresh, Homemade Boardgame”

B for Beekeeper Poster
I’m working on the revised Cardboard Rhino logo, but I’m not yet finished due to my continued work on the press materials for my senior thesis film here at the North Carolina School of the Arts. The film is a documentary about a local beekeeper, and I thought that to tide everyone over until IContinue reading “B for Beekeeper Poster”
