Putting things to rest

In 2007-2008 I did a sketching project. I decided I would do a sketch a day for an entire year and post it to my flickr account publicly, whether I was proud of the sketch or not. I thought this would be good for me.
In the past couple weeks, I’ve been [...]

Reprise

I felt a little validated* today when I got a 20×200 e-mail in my inbox yesterday and saw the offerings:

Why? Because you see….

#10, 2007

He had to be eliminated, 2008

I am a jealous god, 2008
Of course, I took the idea from some found-paper artwork I found on the wall in an [...]

Somebody shoot me

“Somebody shoot me” is a pretty strange English colloquialism. I don’t like it much, but I find myself saying it, and I need to know 1) where it originated, and 2) how to translate it into Mandarin, Hindi, Spanish, Arabic, Russian, and Portuguese. My google-fu is so weak right now, heading as I [...]

It’s electric!

I was looking through the Flickr Commons for something (which I could not find), but ended up finding another thing which is so much better:

I mean, let’s be honest here. The photo above is probably one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. The experimentee even reminds me of Jack Nicholson in One [...]

A reminder to wash your hands

Are you pretty sure that people at work don’t wash their hands after going to the bathroom and touching their bits? That’s gross. You should print this out and put it up. (I licensed it Creative Commons because I am such a big a fan of asepsis.)

Sweet vasoconstriction

I suffer from migraines… a lot. I’ve finally made it to the point where I’m ready to call a neurologist for an intake appointment, and I’ve picked my neurologist, and I bought a book my massage practitioner recommended (she is also a “migraneur”). I read most of the book, and let’s just say [...]

Heare I sit…

So, over a year ago, I started a miniature painting for a friend with off-color humor like myself. I got this idea that I thought was hilarious, and was going to give it to her for her birthday, but I didn’t get it finished in time. I happened to find it again, just [...]

Theresa and Frank cure cancer! (or… well… fund the research for the curing)

Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
My friend Theresa is doing a 24-hour video game marathon as part of the Sarcastic Gamer Extra Life fundraiser, which benefits Texas Children’s Hospital.
The fundraising efforts end tomorrow. (“Computer: day of the week?” “Thursday”.)[1] That’s Friday, people! Theresa only has one day to make up the last $292 to meet her $2000 goal! [...]

Funny-envy

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 [...]

Strange new paintings

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 [...]
