THE YEAR IN MEDIA

I’m always thinking I should blog more—it is after all, what, like 1996? What? 2019? Jesus God Almighty, blogs were 23 years ago.

NEW YEARS RESOLUTION :: 2013 I Am Watching You

I always have a lot of New Year’s resolutions—for instance, "less masturbating, both literally and figuratively" is usually in there somewhere. "Don’t be such a dick" also is usually present in some form or other. I like the idea of self-improvement; I think it’s maybe…

HANDS ACROSS AMERICA

For the month of November (2012) I did a daily morning drill, drawing at least one hand every day. I got the idea from my friend Ben Towle—what in the world is harder to draw than hands?? I usually draw something every morning anyway…
