Michael Bernard Loggins (b. 1961, San Francisco) is primarily a writer and list-maker who often illustrates his texts. Loggins’ writing usually takes the form of notes to friends, issues on his mind (safety, allergies, emotions etc.), or memories. His drawings generally deal with lighter subject matter such as animals, idyllic worlds, and imaginary people.
In 1995 Loggins began listing his fears and 138 were published in a zine titled Fears of Your Life. Over the next seven years, Loggins’ list of fears grew into another zine, which was published in hardback form by Manic D Press and read on NPR’s This American Life in 2003. In December 2007, Manic D Press published his second book, Imaginationally, a dictionary of created words and illustrations such as “terrifical” and “foolishment”.
Loggins has been the subject of several documentary films including Life Itself by San Francisco filmmakers Francis Kohler and Todd Herman in 2001, and Life is Real by Scott Ray Becker in 2007.
Loggins worked in Creativity Explored's studios from 1984 through 2011, and he still visits often. His words and art have been exhibited at galleries and spaces in San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, and France (See below).
