Artisan-in-Residence at Ocean House, Westerly, RI

Recently three new projects have been occupying my time. A pop-up book for a craft beer brewery… in SWEDEN for Macken Brygerri. Awesome labels inspired the pop ups.

Also Crossroads Church in Cincinnati Ohio asked me to create a four spread pop-up book for their 2023 Christmas service. A winter scene, a Nativity, a depiction of the Three Wise Men, and a golden crown for the King of Kings. Beyond that what was so special? It is EIGHT feet tall! In less than six weeks we designed, managed the printing of 120 sheets, hand cut more than 80 of those, and assembled two copies of the full book including covers AND created seven more two-spread versions for their other churches. Lastly I personally delivered them to their churches myself.

Finally, Ruschelle Khanna in West Virginia asked me to create a very unique state-specific paper object for resale at festivals and parks. More on that soon!

A couple of years ago I was commissioned to create a pop-up book for the esteemed charity hospital, St. Jude Children’s Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. This renowned charity hospital is free to every patient admitted, no matter what corner of the Earth they come from. Housing for their parents is free as well. Since covid-19 would endanger the immuno-compromised children at the hospital, tours, including those of charity organizations have had to be curtailed.

The Book

Hence this interactive book detailing the history and mission of St. Jude: Finding Cures. Saving Children. Working closely with the staff at St. Jude/ALSAC, I want to thank Ella Hernandez, Susan Collins, but above all, April Beguesse, for all their hard work in making this book a reality. And finally a thank you to Ethan Goller, Structural Graphics, and Blanks Printing, Dallas for all your professionalism and hard work.
