I was just outside sitting in the cool evening, looking at the beautiful waxing moon. A song my mom used to sing to me when I was little floated into my head… “Buffalo Gals”. I looked it up, and it seems that it was a song sung a lot by blackface minstrels in [...]

I’ve got some thoughts on a book I finally finished reading recently, The Sexual Life of Catherine M., by Catherine Millet. I originally picked it up because it promised to be super trashy and shocking (plus it was translated from the French and that makes it cool, right?) but I just ended up being [...]

I was just looking through some photo archives to figure out when Richard and I moved to and from our house on the Hill, and I found this photo…
That’s me and my kitty Newpimp. Man, he’s so cool.
I know that everyone on the internet who posts pictures of their cats swears they [...]

Hear ye, people! Check out this awesome post on Pressure Printing’s blog of how they created an intaglio print of a Travis Louie drawing (”Bride of Stan”) and framed it in a custom resin frame.
I want one so bad.
The more I learn about art and the more active in making my own [...]
