GET LIVING.
Johnny was in the midst of the Italian Market festival (attended by thousands) seemingly unchaperoned and offering $3 black and white portraits to festival goers. There was even a $2 upsell to a color version of your portrait! My heart swelled. I wanted to hug him, love him, wish him unending luck, pinch his cheeks, [...]
INSPIRED BY: THE BOOKWORM

THE POST THAT MADE ME CRY
This whole Brand Camp dealio started because I was seeing photographers and artists making really silly mistakes. Good intentions can go horribly awry, and if it’s in my power to help correct ‘em, I will. I didn’t dream that it would end up in life-changing conversations. Or even moderately-noteworthy conversations. This post made me cry. [...]

PIMP YOUR BLOG — BUT BACK IT UP FIRST.
You may have noticed yet another round of changes to the Brand Camp Blog layout.

ADVENTURE, TOGETHER.
I have a Calvin & Hobbes tattoo. It serves as a reminder to adventure wherever you go. Calvin & Hobbes’ creator never sanctioned a single commercial product, other than the books themselves, so I couldn’t just buy a t-shirt or sheets or a Thermos or stickers or temporary tattoos or action figures or ANY of [...]
COMPUTER SAYS NO.
I love Little Britain. It’s been one of the unexpected joys of the last few weeks, as both my Father-in-law and Mom have had major surgeries. The process has been exhausting, leaving little room for doing much more than working, sleeping, worrying, visiting, and catching an episode of something on TV at the end of [...]
WOULD YOU BUY FROM YOU?
You may have noticed a dramatic change in the looks of the Brand Camp Blog. You see, months and months ago, I started the blog. I really wanted to focus on that ‘camp’ feel — thus the faux bois and the woodsy doodads & thingamabobs. Then I started developing a few products. This involved creating [...]
