November 30, 1985

My birthday happens around this time every year. Except for leap year; then, it happens thrice. And every year I like to find ways to make myself better. For instance, a few birthdays ago I decided to stop wearing the color blue. However, this year I'm going to kick it …

Scientists, Who Are You?

I was watching the news a few days back, and a story about cancer and cell phone use came on during the nightly health segment. Now, this isn't anything new; however, a certain line in the piece started my mind on something I always found troubling: "Scientists say,..."

A Rage Sandwich with Extra Lettuce

After a long absence I have returned to complain. Not about the world economy or the over-complication of today's toothbrushes. No, I come to complain about speeders. Not just any speeders mind you, but those that speed up to red lights.

What is to be gained from this …

We Don't Know Who Built Them,...

.....but everyone agrees they were a bad idea.

Awesome Music

I love this album...

You can check it out on Last.fm: Joanna Newsom - Ys

It's an acquired taste, but it will grow on you if you give it time.

Plus, the album art and booklet are fantastic. So, it even hits me on a professional level.

Tell me what you think.

I Know, I Know

Here I am saying I'm going to start posting every day, and then I pull a crazy stunt like not posting for weeks. I tend to post on the edge. A bottle of fermented baby food in one hand and the latest issue of Female Genitalia Quarterly in the other. I guess you could …

Election Fever

With the election just around the corner I felt like doing some light reading:

I know titles are meant to sell books, but this would turn a lot of people away from a decent read.

I've already added several -isms to my vocabulary that I'll have no chance to use unless …

Post Crazy

I've decided to start posting every day, again. That will mean the death of several weekly items, but I'll put some of that stuff in the sidebar. This will allow me to get more stupidity out there in the long run.

So, this is a bit of a transition post. I'll actually …

Dry Keep

On the Go:

1. I watched the debate last night. Wow, what an incredible waste of time. And there's still another debate left. Here's hoping for some shake-ups. In fact, here are some I would like to see:

Clicking on the Flock of the Hay

What's Slick:

1. I got my camera back on Monday. Oh, glorious day! Now, the general public doesn't have to just read my uninteresting words. They can see my uninteresting pictures, too. Take this one for instance:


I think shooting it in black and white would have given it …

One of the Greats

Woke up to the news that George Carlin had died last night. Now, this is really lame due to the fact that this man, along with Richard Pryor; Bill Hicks; and Bill Cosby, shaped me into the very odd person I am today.

Truly one of the greatest comedic minds ever to grace …

Must...Post...More

I've been neglecting the Internets again. Probably due to The Cult of the Amateur by Andrew Keen. That made for some self-loathing.

I'll get around to updating my portfolio this weekend.

Anyway, here's some things from the past month or so.








Most were originally made for …

To Which I Emoted

Meaning: Bleep Bleep, Bleep Bloop

Creative Focus

I've been experimenting not necessarily with style, but substance, as of late. While I love the off-the-wall stuff and seemingly pointless designs, I've become severely bored. That's something I wasn't expecting, and it has led me to more odd things. However, I have …

Somnium

I've decided to take a break from doing t-shirts not related to a contest theme. Instead, I'm planning on trying some other applications for illustration; such as: logos, typography, posters, a bit of web design, and general competitions.

Here's something I did this past …

Never Miss Them

As I mentioned, some time ago, I reduced my online presence as it was becoming ridiculous. Well, there were always a few sites I never stopped frequenting. Here they are:

The Sartorialist
FFFFOUND!
Fecal Face
LogoPond - Identity Inspiration

You can never be too inspired.
