ETC: Everyday Thoughts Collected

A friend sent me the above artwork. While I love my friend and not sure why they sent it on, I don’t think it is funny. I don’t care for these four powerful symbols being combined in such a manner.
I don’t like Obama’s policies and think he would be a disaster for this country. His [...]

Dear Wallpaper Glue Inventor,
I don’t know who you are or why you are so mean but I just wanted you to know that I have joined the minions who consider your product as something diabolical. Oh sure, there was a time in the third hour of scrubbing the same square foot of wall that I [...]

I just need to get a scanner some day. I titled these as breaking out because there is [...]

I watched the above video.  I love the Anime style.  Don’t like it when it is abused but as an art form… its really fought for a place and found it.  I think the above video, while a simple sketch (not the finished product) show tremendous potential for dramatic story telling.  The contextualization of this [...]
