The Amazing Blaze Zine

Blaze Beginnings

Here’s a look at the initial note taking I took on the creation of this fiasco I’ve come up with known as The ‘Amazing’ Blaze Zine. If you can read it. I made these blank page journals out of my old CD covers from growing up & I’d carry them around jotting down ideas. Blaze somehow became one of them. It’s been fun. Thanks for following along..

I guess The Amazing Blaze Zine is my contribution to the ’Yestermania’ that’s going on these days. It really started as some kind of silly art project; a daily graphic exercise. Eventually morphing into my own ambiguous chronicle of sports history, in a sort of 8th grade book report fashion. Sports to me always had a built in connection to both aesthetics and interpersonal experiences. To Memories. Blaze has become a chance for me to go back and think about my life surroundings at the times of these random sporting events. Before judgements & responsibility came around. Recall family gatherings with everyone huddled around the TV watching the Big Game, or hanging with your buds trading cards in the dugout after baseball practice. Dig deeper into the 'Heroes' & 'Ghosts' of days gone by and to re-connect with my inner kid sports fan. 

Nirvana Rules!!
