tomorrow is the beginning of 2012 as well as my 60 Days of Drinking! "what's that", you ask? why it's only 60 days of insight into my genius (and drunkenness). check out my power hour site for details.

yeah, i guess i like posting one thing a day.

Not Gonna Happen

this is based on the south park episode where they call kanye west a gay fish. within one day of that episode airing, kanye posted on his blog that it was funny, although it hurt his feelings. i hope kanye blogs about my painting.

The Art Is a Lie

this is a fictitious cake from the video game known as portal. when you're solving puzzles in portal, you are encouraged to keep going with the promise of cake. once you've gotten far enough in the game, you see scrawls on the wall from past puzzle solvers saying "the cake is a lie". now the phrase "the cake is a lie" is used to express the sentiment that "your promised reward is merely a fictitious motivator".

VLW Traps Don't Even Need Bait

the bear is exhausted from tending to his giant roses all day and avoiding the bear trap.

Infinity Ball, Corner Pocket

Collaborative Art and a Nativity Rabbit

sorry i forgot to post yesterday. something distracted me. i think. yeah i know something was going on yesterday that stole my attention. whatever it was, i'm posting yesterday's with today's.



i can't believe i encouraged writing on my artwork. i tried. i tried to get this requester to tell me a name before i finished but they still hadn't decided. now i have clearly invited someone to mark my work. i'm imagining them using a bic pen.

I Once Met a Level 18 Sculptor

this is what all the art majors at my school had. they used them to hang all the keys they owned from their hips. the more keys you had, the more powerful of an artist you were. it was like a video game where you could proudly display your achievement level.

Good Art Raises So Many Questions

what is going on here? is the turtle dead? is it some angel turtle that's come back to speak to mr. squirrel and mrs. wolf? is the turtle dive bombing for some delicious squirrel and wolf meat? what is the koopa paratroopa doing with a couple of less-fantastical animals? is the squirrel giant or are the wolf and winged turtle babies?

Ali Spagnola & the Internet Conquest (Volume 1)

i watched this movie last week. it made me wish my life was more like a comic book.

Romeo and Juliet

the feud has gone on as long as anyone can remember. norths just don't mix with souths. but when these two creatures from different ends of the earth came together, they discovered how much they had in common. sure, they didn't see eye to eye literally, but figuratively was a whole different story. thus began their forbidden love.
