The kind folks at The Georgia Straight had some nice things to say about my album. Wait… I look like David Schwimmer? Well, maybe I do a little. Take a gander and make up your own mind.

Missing Mannequin Hand
On August 3, 2013 the hand of my mannequin went missing at the Railway Club, and is presumed stolen. The primary suspects (innocent till proven guilty) are depicted in this amateur sketch. Can you help bring justice to bear on these incorrigible bandits? No reward is offered, except the feeling of sweet justice. No questions asked for the safe return of the hand.
