The Six

A video series documenting my 1966 Ford Mustang 6-cylinder coupe revival project. Purchased in Dec, 2021, this parts car was all original with a stuck engine and suffering from neglect and New England rust. Watch the latest episode, hey. THE SIX: YEAR ONE is a compilation of the first eighteen episodes.

The Demographic & Other Music Projects

I’ve been rocking guitar & vocals with The Demographic since 2009. We have four releases: Hiatus (2021), I Hate Us (2021), Listen Close (2013), and Verse Chorus Curse (2011). CDs are available from Object Publishing.

Previous albums I’ve been a part of include The No-Shadow Kick’s Spatializing Sound in the Time Domain (2005), The Promo EP (2001), and Basement Make-out Party (1999). I’ve also released two collections of wicked old solo recordings: Masstronaut’s Alonely (1992-1999) and Don’t Worry About Me (2000-2009).

About

Professionally, I’m a graphic designer, illustrator, and After Effects animator. I like clean, flat, and bold. My portfolio is over at Standard Design. Subprofessionally (which I’m pretty sure is a word), I am an author, cartoonist, and an art-maker. I’ve released a few of books. I will release a few more. I have sold many coffee- and Massachusetts-related items on EtsyUnprofessionally, I write and yell songs in the drum & guitar duo The Demographic. We sporadically rock wicked hard. I occasionally do quieter solo stuff. I had a song on Car Talk once. I wore a weird mask in a PIXIES video once. I reside in western Massachusetts. I was born in eastern Massachusetts. I live in a manky old house with a wonderful woman and a dog and two cats. I occasionally poke at a cruddy old 1966 Mustang.
