On the Meat Trail

So, here's a little preview of a new board game I'm working on. It's called On the Meat Trail, and it's largely inspired by Jack London's novel White Fang.

2 players control wolves, trying to survive a cold northern winter. They must forage in the forest for ptarmigans, sneak up on deer, take cover in forests or caves, and avoid the wrath of other predators like bears and lynxes. It should be fun.

There is more work to be done, but here's a peek at the game board.

My Rhino

So, here's a picture of my rendition of the fabled Cardboard Rhino. The cardboard it is made out of was not harvested from rhinos, but from the somewhat less elusive Cardboard Box.

You can catch a glimpse of our family art bulletin board. It's sort of the IRL version of this blog...

Uncle Barry's Sidewalk

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 winter theme. I photographed our work this year for the Rhino.

This is my world premiere Blog entry. Party up. Let us always remember the laffy taffy joke, it always laughs me; When was the meat so high? When the cow jumped over the moon.

Another Cardboard Rhino

I was wandering around on the web when I encountered an expertly crafted cardboard rhino and a t-shirt based on it. You can find the site here and the t-shirt here. They are made by the artist known as Kritch. Look around on the website and you won't be disappointed. The hand-made robots are magnificent works of simple, clever craftsmanship.
