Bad joke. ANYWAYS, I just put up some live songs on the youtube! How exciting. They are exciting, I promise. Here they are: How fantastic. Here’s the link to my channel, so you know, if you want to see more videos, since I’ll be putting more on (of course!!). YOU KNOW. :D


At some point in 2007, my mind went dark, went sour, went into some kind of despair where all I could see was blood. This is hyperbole, of course, my headspace at the time was nowhere near so melodramatic, but in hindsight it is strange that some part of me was looking for something and [...]


Here is a comic I did for an assignment in my Comics class last semester with Jeremy Tinder. It was a super class, I am taking it again this semester (because I can, not because I failed or something ridiculous like that). The assignment was to buy a mini-comic and make a response to it [...]


This is a little comic that I made for a class a few semesters ago. The assignment was to watch a nature show and respond to it. I was a little terrified with what I came up with.


Sean Buckelew is the best! Sorry if you thought you were the best, do not cease to think you are the best, but the fact remains that Sean Buckelew is the best. Sean is an animator and dear friend at school. Here is his blog. Every now and then, Sean calls on me to craft [...]



it’s all smiles, even if you watch the end of a joy division documentary and are saddened. the word should be ensaddened. or emsaddened. the internet is the worst invention for someone who spends his life writing about lost connections and people you know or used to know but don’t anymore. it’s way too easy [...]


HEY! My comic, Good-Bye, The Pig, is finished and out in the world! As of right now, you can buy it at Quimby’s in Chicago, or if you run into me on the street and I have one. It’s also now in Meltdown Comics in Los Angeles, California! Oooh! Soon, I imagine, I’ll put it [...]


Now’s when it gets interesting, or begins to. A slight exaggeration, sure. But this is one of the first songs that really changes what I’m allowing Violet Mice to sound like. Which opens up the whole complicated world of naming something you’re doing by yourself if you’re not going to put your own name on [...]


No, just the inner world. The imaginal world, as we talked about in class today. What was his name? Ah, yes Henri Corbin. Fantastic. Anyways, these two little things are the first to carry the system I adopted for naming little things I came up with that didn’t already have names, and some other way [...]


Staplers to ring in the new year.  They make for good friends.


And it is Winter, certainly. The cyber-winter, as we affectionately call it. Before we even came up with that name, though, I had a small little image of winter. It had to do with the River of Blood, and the Sugar Factory that was always on the horizon, and me walking through the snow and [...]


Have you ever heard Seen & Not Seen? Talking Heads? Remain in Light? I haven’t heard it in a while. I save it for times when I am feeling upset (by that token, I should also be wearing my roommate’s shirt that said “Where All Dem White Women At?”, a hideous abomination that we save [...]
