I sincerely believe society would be better of if everyone had mandatory addictions.
In order to be a citizen, you would be required to use a hard drug daily for six months. At the end of that period, if you had the strength to quit and stay clean, you could vote and pay less taxes and what not. Think of it as natural selection.
Wed May 10 22:33:54 EDT 2006

Back in '03, I lived in a hotel in San Francisco's Tenderloin. This guy got shot outside my window, you could see the blood spurt from his head and it ran down the whole length of the block.
I knew how much room 9 pints of blood would take up in a jar, but I had no idea how far you could spread it until then ...
He got shot for buying crack for resale and smoking it all by himself.

Hypochondria and hardcore partying don't mix.
Thu May 11 22:32:36 EDT 2006

Some thugs tried to mug me, but I fought them off and talked them out of going after my wallet.
Might have been a different story if they had guns.

Don't you wanna stay up forever too? Is that too much to ask?
Thu May 11 23:04:06 EDT 2006

Remember back in the fall of 2003 when pirates became all the rage? I made this drawing months before that.

Naomi was one of the sweetest crack whores I ever met, and her friend Lou was a nice guy too, even if he did try to extort money out of me once.

Sat May 20 02:12:24 EDT 2006

My friend Tara wants a tattoo of a "Taradactyl". I made these sketches for her, but I don't think I'm the most qualified artist to draw dinosaur tattoo art.
Sun May 21 20:57:30 EDT 2006

Tara says she wants a silhouetter, so here's some pterosaur outlines.
Mon May 22 22:00:44 EDT 2006

I'm still looking for a good drawing style for my new comic. I've narrowed it down to either markers (bottom left) or pencil with watercolors (bottom right).
In this particular sequence, Bad Mr. Meow and his new friend, a crack ho named Heather, are sitting around smoking crack until they run out. At that point the get up to look for more ... but first they need to mug someone to get money.
Mon May 29 18:16:27 EDT 2006

This month marks the tenth year I've been friends with Anne Jermain. To celebrate, I made her this card ... not I have to hurry up and mail it before she's off with the Peace Corps.
Wed May 31 20:48:11 EDT 2006

Another test page for Annulment. I wanted to see what a full page in pencils would look like. I think it turned out well.
A little too dark, but that's it.

An illustration for a new book I'm working on.

A quick and dirty attempt to copy the stippling style of the ultra talented Noli Novak. She puts my artwork to shame, but in my defense this picture is only a couple of inches across.
Fri Dec 21 21:25:21 EST 2007

I took my new 25mm macro extension tube for a spin and made Octo my first subject.

Fri Mar 07 19:09:37 EST 2008

Playing around with different exposure mechanisms. (R-L) Sekonic meter, TTL meter, TTL meter + gray card.
It seems the Sekonic meter did the best job of picking an exposure that preserved detail in the shadow and highlight areas.
Oh, and that's a weird little papier mache arthropod I made out of paper towels and a brown paper bag.
Mon Jun 09 19:43:19 EDT 2008

A critter I made to play with high-key lighting.

Testing out gimpshop, a free photoshop clone ... it has some pretty good filters and controls.
