seven years

I've posted 2,055 times over these seven years starting on November 1st, 2006. That's crazy - like life.  It's been a full gallop of ups and downs - haha (haha as George Saunders would write).  Thank goodness for the full entertainment and engagement of looking at world, thinking about it and, of course, making stuff.  I'm so content to work and live on this little farm for another seven. No seventh inning stretch. No itch.

Much gratitude to those that inspire, teach, lead, challenge and spur me on a daily basis (with some of you working it on a minute to minute basis).

Lotta people are talking good-riddance-to-2009; I kinda liked it. I like "niner" years.

I tried to produce a worthy April Fool's joke, but I couldn't think of anything....funny.

what would freud say?

Two themes of the last three days: snakes and erotic art. I didn't know what they had in common until today. Tomi Ungerer, the author and illustrator of my favorite snake story, is also known for his "adult" illustrations. Guess it's as simple as that.

The best part about this game; originally, this girl had her hair held up by a pencil...not a hole chiseled while she was totally oblivious.

I found this picture of me with the hot stuff coming from my eyes. If this happened in real life, Malibu would look a lot less fiery. horace, october 22, 2007, colored pencil & pen.

about monsters

We know the rapscallions live in closets, swamps, under beds and sometimes along dark (commonly dirt) roads. You recognize them by their yellowish green eyes, the hair, scales or blemishes and by the amount of snot they fling.
