Travis Simpkins Joins Scottish Rite Journal as Artist for "Chips from the Quarry"

Scottish Rite Journal. July/August 2021. Chips from the Quarry. Art by Travis Simpkins

     Earlier this year, S. Brent Morris, 33°, GC offered me a regular spot in the Scottish Rite Journal, taking over the long-running “Chips from the Quarry” feature in the magazine (the previous artist, a Brother from Canada, has retired). The first issue to include my artwork (July/August 2021) was just published. Each “Chips from the Quarry” feature will have a different theme, this one is about Clergymen who were Masons.

     It’s always a pleasure to help out and work with my friends in the Southern Jurisdiction. I have enjoyed the SJ’s various publications since becoming a Mason. I’ve contributed artwork to the Scottish Rite Research Society’s periodicals and the newly revived Masonic Book Club. It will be a fun adventure to be involved with the Scottish Rite Journal as well.
