One of the projects I'm quite proud of is the "Record Ranger Field Guide: West Texas Edition" book I designed and created for my grad thesis back in 2021. My thesis research focused on utilizing design and creative thinking to archive, preserve, and promote 1950s West Texas country music - showing why the music is important to Texas culture and why it is worth preserving. Since Texas music history is quite vast and expansive, I really had to narrow down my research focus. The

Super-pumped to be included at this year's UFO's Over Lubbock event on October 2 at Charles Anderson Studio Project (CASP). Thanks to Carlos Hernandez at Burning Bones Press in Houston for the invite. I've been wanting to participate in this curated, invite-only show for years, and my schedule finally works out. I know several artists and printmakers that I've admired for a long time will be here, so it'll be nice to finally meet and talk with them in person. I have a bunch o

Howdy again friends! Once upon a time I ran my art studio under the moniker of 'Napkin Art Studio'. Long story short, the name ran its course and I felt like I needed a name that felt less juvenile (not that there is anything wrong with that.) I eventually settled on the name Seri.Tone Press, which is a nod to my love for screen printing and music. Seri.Tone Press has been around a few years, but I haven't been great at advertising it. In fact, I've been in this constant stru

Howdy friends. Just a quick note that I'm suspending all domestic and international orders for the time being. If you've been following the news lately regarding tariffs and the governmental bullying of our trading partners and allies, you know that it's been a shit show. Our domestic postal rates continue to skyrocket with vastly reduced quality of service, 'shrink-flation' at its finest. I don't see the situation getting better in the next two years (at least), but I am hop

I'm happy to announce "Cobra issue 2" is officially upon us. It's wild to think it's already been a year since I produced issue 1, but here we are. Above is a little sneak peek from the forthcoming zine/chapbook thingy, complete with two different covers. In addition to the zine, there will be some additional goodies included, like art prints, a sticker, button, and some unique packaging. Issue 2 will have a larger print run this time around, as this issue will have Risograph

Howdy friends. So, without putting too fine a point on things, the world is absolutely f*cking nuts, right now. I'm sure I need not remind you. You see and read about it minute by minute, right? Of course, you do. But, that's not what I'm here to talk about. No sir. In fact, just the opposite. If you've been following along the last few years, you know I host a weekly online radio show, called "Record Ranger Radio", every Tuesday night at 7pm ET/4pm PT on ElectroMagnetic Radi

Well, Record Store Day Black Friday is nearly upon us again, and I excited to share ORG Music's release of "Charley Patton - Father of the Delta Blues: Selections from Paramount Recordings, Vol.2". Limited to 1,500 copies world wide, this series continues featuring killer tracks from Patton's extensive Paramount discography. For continuity's sake, the cover art is basically the same as Vol.1 but in a slightly different color way. I hope we'll see a Vol. 3 (for the hat trick

It's taken me awhile to get back to working on many of the side projects that got shelved during grad school and dealing with general burnout, but I'm happy to report I've stepped out from under the burnout cloud and I'm getting creative again on a whole new level. Let me reintroduce to you a brand new art book from JKFA Books and Seri-Tone Press: Cobra. The plan was to design and create a simple, laser printed zine to satisfy the zine-creating bug, but as I began to have pro

The fine folks at Org Music and Sun Records asked me to produce the packaging for their forth-coming "Glad Tidings from Sun Records"...
