Time to give something back...

When I first started Bonehand.com six months ago, it was merely my own humble effort to establish a freeform, hand-crafted creative outlet for me and my friends. I had no hope whatsoever that it would ever develop any sort of a following. However, in recent weeks
the sheer volume of wonderful feedback and encouragement that has been cramming my email box has been overwhelming! So much so, that I can think of no better way to repay your kindness than by answering your mail personally! So, without Further ado:

Bonehand's Big Ol' Mail Sack, Vol. 1

The Site is live!

www.bonehand.com is now live.

My intention with bonehand.com is to present something new every Sunday, be it an essay, work of art, piece of music, or even a review; the idea is to come to the table with something that will interest, entertain or inspire. Perhaps even two of the three. Any more than that is probably pushing it.
