So look, I have been thinking about starting a web comic, but I have been feeling concerned about how my sense of humor is so weird that it’s probably not even funny to a lot of people, and I’ve sort of made my peace with that– and I also always end up thinking about XKCD [...]

Woah, check out the “Thursday Edition: Trey Speegle” print for sale on the 20×200 site!
I really like this one. I was just thinking a few weeks ago about how rad paint-by-number is, and how I could incorporate some into my illustrations. Don’t you hate getting scooped?
(Actually, after seeing so many artists doing [...]

Dear readers of my blog who reside upon the binary ebbings and flowings of the internets:
I would like to introduce something exciting and experimental– a limited run of my photograph prints, made available for purchase for whatever you decide they are worth.[1] Yes!

I’m right in the middle of a nicotine craving. I don’t smoke that often. I’m in the “mooching” stage, where I just smoke socially and steal from friends with cigarettes in that really annoying, sad way.
I’ve quit and started again multiple times, over [...]

What?, 2005

Le sigh…
I finally got around to reading the copy of Little Brother by Cory Doctorow that I bought when it first came out, in June, I think… and it left me all weepy and inspired.
I guess I should say first that the writing itself is not stellar, the plot being kind of blocky and [...]
I like the north area of the University District because much of it is run down and trashed by college students, and that yields microcosms of amazing texture.
Consider what I saw during a single walk home recently:
These photos were all taken with my little Canon PowerShot, but they are still pleasing [...]
I’m really excited about some paintings I finished for part of a Moleskine exchange I’m in right now. (A group of artists each buy a Moleskine journal, make art on a set amount of pages, mail it to the next person, etc, until finally you get your own Moleskine back, filled with the work [...]
I got wp-recaptacha installed, so none of that registering nonsense is required for commenting. Just being able to read intensely garbled text.
Let’s celebrate the times! Come on!

I have a funny story to soothe your debate-battered hearts…
Last weekend Richard and I were out in the backyard, and somehow a sweat bee got in his pants, and bit him where nothing should ever, ever bite a man. We caught the bee in a glass. This is it:
