My wife loves word games, and she meticulously uses worksheets to test letter combinations as she solves the puzzles each day.
Her handwriting is compact, and she writes extra small on the game sheets to save paper.
Once she fills both sides of the paper, I add watercolors and place them in a plastic sleeve.
Voila! Bookmarks!

The Death Coat (2018) encourages talk and thinking about death. The coat is covered with skulls and the names of dead people we want to remember.
I started the names with a few family members, but I left space for future names. I would wear the coat in public and invite others to add the name of someone they want to remember. This would lead to a conversation about their departed friend or family members. Talking of death makes it easier to cope with, and everyone I encountered loved the coat, added a name, and told me their story.
The first Protest Coat (2023) was a simple coat rescued from a thrift store and hand-painted with statements about fascism (back) and book banning (front and sleeves). Perfect for wearing to city council meetings, libraries, concerts, grocery stores, and anywhere you wish.
Here I am at the Nasher Art Museum at Duke University in December 2023. Multiple museum visitors and staff talked to me about the coat and appreciated it.
The second Protest Coat was made for the NO KINGS marches in 2025 and 2026.
I started with a vintage US Army jacket (my Dad's), removed the Army patches, and painted messages and artwork all over it. The image of the king's face is from the SchoolHouse Rock "No More Kings" video from my childhood.
