Cleaver is devastated to announce the passing of our dear friend and Art Editor, Raymond Rorke, on May 21, 2023. Raymond was an ardent fan of Cleaver Magazine. As a longtime writer and designer who lived through the evolution of hand-set type into hand-coded webpages, he was fond of tinkering with words—and what goes into making them sing. He was also a teaching artist and the in-house graphic designer for The Clay Studio in Philadelphia. You can view his ceramics portfolio here.
