Mar 21, 2013 • Comments Closed I just checked my stats and figured out that I haven’t painted in 19 days! The last three things that I made (and am ready to share) are messy paintings of circles.

Feb 19, 2013 • Comments Closed here are two links to make your day better: http://www.porkandjeans.com/ http://poorlydrawnlines.com/ Ok now that that’s over with, I made some more paintings. These are fun. I like painting. “Make Something Beautiful” and “Do Stuff and Be Happy” are maybe a bit heavy handed in the “telling you what to do” category, but so what. The...

Feb 15, 2013 • Comments Closed I finished up the McWib™ painting the other night. I think it turned out great. It has just enough good ideas and bad ideas and chaos to make it appealing. To me.

Feb 4, 2013 • Comments Closed I spent some time this weekend cleaning our office – we removed this big storage cabinet which had housed a bunch of junk. At first it had been a pretty functional space, but over time we just filled it full of stuff that had no place. Now that place is in a landfill somewhere. Guh....

Jan 28, 2013 • Comments Closed First, here’s a painting: The genesis of this painting was a sketch I drew in my appropriately named “sketch book”. I drew the sketch one day before the “Hostess is going bankrupt and you will never see another Twinkie!” news-cycle started up. Remember that panic? Well anyway, sometimes I think I’m a seer or something....

Dec 18, 2012 • Comments Closed I didn’t have a great first experience with Jacquards “Professional Quality” Screen Printing Ink – I thought it would would be smooth as butter and delicious to print with. BUT BOY WAS I WRONG. This stuff came out of the can thicker than wood glue, only less easy to spread. It did not like to...

Nov 19, 2012 • Comments Closed Hi how are you? #1. I finally made a store on Etsy.com. I don’t know why it took me so long, it just did, and now I have to fill it up with all the great stuff I’ve made that is just gathering dust in the basement instead of being appreciated by people who appreciate...

Nov 7, 2012 • Comments Closed I came up with this cute lil’ guy last year, and it’s taken me a long time to produce some art. Well, the time is now for TACOCAT to see the light of day. The first piece I did was this watercolor drawing. I donated it to the CAN HAZ CAT ART show at Screen...
