# About me

I make art for a living. I'm an across-the-board-without-being-proficient-in-any-single-area type of artist. Some people call that type a hack. I call it not knowing how to do anything else.

Funny. Back in the mid 90's, when I was a tattooist, the owner of the shop I worked for shared my 1st name, Russ. To avoid confusion I had to go by a different name. I chose "Weezy" because I was a big fan of The Jefferson's. That name didn't stick but everyone started calling me "Old Scratch" because I had a tendency to be grumpy and hateful. Of course, being from the South, it quickly morphed into "Ol' Skratch."

Of course, "Scratch," or "Scratcher," isn't something you want to be referred to as in the tattoo industry...but I embraced it.

First time I've found someone who has puppets!
I was waiting for the day when I'd find some. Great work. They're really neat!

Hey there! I saw your Musketeer dolls and I have to say they are amazing! I loved the movie and I make stringdolls *I call them Popkes* and I've added your dolls to my group of Popkes



You are very talented and I hope you don't mind me adding the dolls to our group

I'm well, just need a break from social media...well facebook, at least. The majority of my connections were becoming a little too political, preachy, and downright un-fun. Figured it's a good time for a break. What's more, I've gotten a metric shit-ton of stuff accomplished since my hiatus.

How goes it with you?

doing good i suppose, busy on my thesis film, finally got the animatic done last Friday. Gonna show it around a bit before I go into final production, get some pointers and such.

Also, I got yet another hand puppet, haha. I really wanna make one myself, especially cause I find myself drawing Kermit on a daily basis...

yep. shot the footage at a local model train expo and didn't know what to do with it. that freighter classic bit was what happened with it. my best guess, at least.
