So, you have likely heard the saying that the pen in mightier than the sword. You can make your own joke here if you’d like.

I don’t know that I can explain how I came up with this, except to say that there are sometimes people in this world who would love to run you through their hair. Happy Thanksgiving, friends!

Look at my favorite images from this project on the My Favorite Pieces page
Thanks to Paul Debraski for the inspiration on his Daily Doodle, where he recently did a piece using this old but fun technique for creating an optical illusion in which you can switch back and forth between seeing two faces, or a vessel. I decided to use Steve Jobs, and imagined that the vessel was for the Mac faithful to drink in the Steve juice. I type this on a MacBook Pro, so I’m guilty too. However, I do not agree with Steve that ‘open’ makes one think of Microsoft. 🙂

I don’t think I’ll be traveling overseas anytime soon. I understand the reasoning behind it, but I think it is ludicrous to have to choose between being visually strip-searched and being groped. When the first post-scanner bomber successfully emerges, I wonder what dignities we’ll lose next? Also, how long until we start seeing the supposedly unkept images presented as “The top 10 hottest scanned babes ever!”? Some parts of the time we live in are amazingly wonderful, and others are just… amazing.

I made this to more or less commemorate that, just like baseball, I’ve never been very good at video games.

This is for my good friend Angel who has asked me to do some sketch work regarding the signs of the zodiac. It’s amazing to listen to her understanding and beliefs about the reliability of the zodiac’s predictions about one’s personality. I’ve always been interested in the interpretation of who I’m supposed to be according to these expectations, and I have to say I think I’m a lot like the profile. This is my sign, I’m a cancer.
