The Souvenir Ink Kickstarter
Feb 14.2025 - Announcement
Hello everyone, I'm so pleased to share with all of you a project of passion and love, The Souvenir Ink match memory card game. Creation began in 2019 as an alternative to the match memory style games out there, using my art style, a mix of classic cartoons, anime, and tattoo flash. The Souvenir Ink invites players into a familiar classic game they know and love, yet offers a new fun and challenging way to play if they choose.
At its core players can enjoy a classic finding pairs match memory solo or with a friend. However, players playing with two or more, will find using strategy to take another players tattoo flash, calling out players helping players to match up, treading carefully not to turn over a card that resets the whole game or facing a card that takes away your tattoo flash cards altogether a challenging yet fun time.
The Souvenir Ink is just the beginning to the journey I want to take players on with added gaming down the road, booster packs with new cards to collect and so much more to reveal as time unfolds.
Again I am so excited to share The Souvenir Ink and all the fun yet to come. Thank you so much for taking the time to visit us here and please support us on Kickstarter starting to day with our pre-launch! We greatly appreciate your support and interest in The Souvenir Ink!

The Return of Music
Feb 14.2025 - Announcement
Hello Everyone! First off thank you for visiting the site, and if you're an old fan, so good to see you again and if you're a new fan, welcome! I have two projects of old music with new faces to announce here so bear with me as I cover these two projects.
So first up, the rock band Between Crows & Thieves.
I'm pleased to announce the return of Between Crows & Thieves, a band project I started in 2009 with Thomas Johnson that went on indefinite hiatus in late 2010.
Now about 15 years later, we are releasing the original music recorded in 2009-2010 as an album title American Traditional along with a seprate live album recorded at Vino's in Little Rock, Arkansas in 2010. We are excited to reveal that we are writing a couple new albums (yes I said two!) and are in the works for a limited dates small tour hopfully starting later this year.
We feel that with the original album from 2010 not getting a full release only let down the fans, especially its lack of digital and physical availbility. So we are working on releasing the original recordings on digital, a limited small handpress run of CD's and with hopes those sells will allow us to press the album on vinyl that would be readily available here and in stores that wish to sell it.
Second, the solo project formally known as Norman Band.
I'm pleased to announce the return of my solo project that haulted before it could jump off. In late 2019 into 2020 I released my first solo album only to diffculties launching along with the pandemic just pushing me to make the hard decison to hold off for awhile.
Now rebranded Tokens For The Sky, new artwork, a new direction, and new albums in the works, the first album is now getting re-released. Tokens For The Sky Omen Vega, will be on digital, a limited small handpress run of CD's and like the Between Crows & Thieves above these sells from CD and Digital are to fund the album getting pressed to vinyl that would be readily available here and in stores that wish to sell it.
I feel that the time is right and with Between Crows & Thieves it would be awesome to offer the limited dates small tour with both projects on stage.
You may be asking why now on these projects, why release them? The truth, as we all grow older reflection of a life well spent echoes. In my case I have all these works of music, works of art that no one gets to enjoy, I feel it's a shame not to set them up so anyone, anywhere can enjoy them anytime. re-releasing them in a way where they can be enjoyed for years to come, along with these projects continuing with new music is an important task for us, for me.
I don't just want to release and re-release for a short time, but keep them out there even when my lighthouse no longer shines, they live on with you and others.
Thank you for being fans of any and all of the above music we/I have made and we/I look forward to bringing you new music as well as performing live near you soon.
