I'm an artist and Old Purple Thumb Works is my studio & workshop as well as my largest art project; it is and always will be a work in progress. My studio, while mostly an art rubber stamp workshop and mail-order house (Meer Image), is also set up to accommodate whatever type of art I feel inspired to create, including hand drawn animated films, life drawings, photography, pyrography and inventions to aid is the creation of all these things. The kitchen doubles as a home brewery. I like whiskey and have pondered the idea of distillation, but decided to stick to brewing because it can't kill you. My new life motto is "P2p" which stands for "pencil (or pen) to paper". It is a reminder that when gadgets and the internet start to suck your creativity, it's time to put pencil to paper - doodle, draw or write - just put the gadget down for a while. My wife Carol and I live very nearby on Humboldt bay with our two cats, Euro and Sirus. We like hiking, camping, canoeing, kayaking, bird watching and having bonfires big enough to see from space.
