KevHead #6 - 1991 again ....

Here is where the money began to run out - rather than 16 pages, KevHead the Magazine went to 12 pages, and the experiments with color on the cover were reduced to black and green.  Still managed to have fun with putting it together in the era of teleconferences and fax machines.  Something called "Prodigy" was my only "email" and gifs were just soooooo big at 32K.

Here is Number Six - number five is long lost













KevHead #4 - still more from 1991

A quarter of a century, and these things are still in a box, unmolested by mice.  Either they are respectful of these scraps of paper, or they just have better taste in chewing material.

There is no KevHead #5 in the box, however.  I'm absolutely unsure what happened with that one. It might have just been a collection of photos from his Jim Shorts Golf Outing that spring.  All that I seem to have are just little scraps and handwritten layout pages.

But here is Number Four!!!

The Crackerbarrels - ca 1990 - concept sketches

Developed with Kevin Matthews in tandem as a TV pilot or children's book concept, and it never really went beyond these few sketches.  So many distractions, and without internet access, too!

Pre-Calculator Analytic Geometry, ca 1973

When a $140 four-function calculator was still nearly a year away, it all took scrap paper, slide rulers, and log tables to perform math functions.  Here are examples from aeons past, from Lakeview High School, under the watchful gaze of James Alexander Woods...(work had to be shown in addition to the final report)
