The Idea Box Journal

The Hunt Riot Summer Gallery is now up! Check out creative interpretations of this past season’s prompts.

It’s hard to summarize the Burning Man experience because there are so many layers to it. The week is challenging, awe-inspiring, frustrating, communal, independent, and overwhelming.

Recent interview I gave with Anna Durbanova at Impakter, a terrific international online magazine focused on social & human rights issues, sustainable development, and art.

Aumakua, new card artwork out now for Netrunner from Fantasy Flight Games

The reference is to Hawaiian mythology. “ʻAumākua are intimate members of the human family, spiritual relationships with them are especially close and their presence is sought for feast and festivity, as well as in time of crisis. They act as healers and advisors, counteracting troubles and punishing faults.” – J. Gutmanis
