This is how I draw when my blood sugar's low. Sometimes I let it get low for the express purpose of being able to draw like this. Not often, though, since lowering your blood sugar requires not eating, a practice which I'm opposed to on moral grounds.' [...]

What we have here is a kaleidoscopey image of my face made with Pixel Bender, a Photoshop CS4 add-on available from Adobe Labs. Pretty cool, huh? This is what I do with my spare time instead of reading to [...]
According to Politico, the Republican National Committee's current health plan covers abortions and end-of-life counseling (that's "death panels" to you Palin fans.) Rank hypocrisy is common among politicians of all persuasions, but even you rightie-whities will have to admit this one's particularly rank.

Few things are as stirring as observing the lord of the manor putting his adoring and well-trained dog through its paces. They step out the door on a crisp autumn day and the master confidently barks "Scout! Heel!" But alas, Scout is already out of earshot, a [...]
This is from back in Two thousand ought six, when Niff & Sutter were still running their Blind Contour Fridays. Ah, good times. Anyways, it's a Thanksgiving-themed drawing, so there you go. I've never been one to enumerate the things I'm thankful for, and I'm not' [...]
There's a limited repertoire of behaviors and postures in coffee shops. I yearn for someone to come in with a set of bagpipes or to break out in a frenzy of nude tap-dancing, but no. People come charging up to the door all bubbly and idiosyncratic, [...]
It never ceases to amaze me how much effort goes into the making of a small snippet of film. That's not to imply that I go around in a state of amazement all day, bumping into walls and whatnot. So I guess it does cease [...]
That guy on the right, who looks like he's in the process of digesting a chipmunk? That's actually a ponytail soul patch, the first I've ever seen. Another crew member had a fastidiously-tended moustache just like Hercule Poirot's, although believe me, you wouldn't mistake this guy for' [...]

You gotta love 'em. Well, no you don't. You don't have to love them at all. In their headlong frenzy to trash everything Obama, they've now got their Garments in a stinky twist over the coming trial of Sheik What's-his-face in New York. We're [...]
This tree was split during the recent nor'easter, thoughtfully providing me with a sketching opportunity. An opportunity to practice with ArtRage, and an opportunity to lower the temperature of my brain pan, which is invariably steaming like a head of cabbage after two hours of watching them' [...]
It's been a while since I've been on one of these, but not much has changed. Standing out in the early morning chill, trying to keep warm, trying to shake off too much food and drink from the night before. Long stretches of inactivity,' [...]
No, no, not anger management training, you charmingly silly people. I refer to ArtRage the painting software. It's annoying that you would think otherwise. In fact, it's beyond annoying. It makes me see red. Or more like an Alizarin Crimson. The elderly gent, by the way, is [...]
Less than tragic, perhaps. Maybe more like poignant. I believe that when we're invaded by aliens, they'll look like this. Cutting great swaths across the country, swallowing up our garbage. Or us, depending on their sense of humor.

Where the hell was Pat Robertson this week? For you non-Hampton Roadsters, he has in the past claimed responsibility for praying away storms that were bearing down on us. This year he must have used up his quota of supplications getting his protegé elected governor, because he [...]
Last night Jon Stewart caught Sean Hannity faking crowd footage in a story about some right-wing mob gathering or other, and Fox advertised a response by Hannity tonight, so like a fool I sat through the whole hour waiting to see how he could possibly refute Stewart's' [...]
Yesterday I received this lovely gift from a good friend--in honor of Veterans Day, I'm thinking. You can't put a price on good friends, can you? On their heads or anywhere else. What I like about this packaging design is its earnestness in hammering home the [...]
I'm listening to a talk show on the radio that just posed the question "What do you do when a cat sneezes on you?" I was about to jettison that little collection of nerve pulses from my memory bank when I heard Bernice sneeze. I turned around' [...]
I've been biting my tongue about developments on the healthcare front and the predictable responses to those developments, in an attempt to keep this blog from becoming a bitter rantfest. God knows we've got plenty of those around already. But it's so hard to spin silly [...]
Every few years I give piano jazz another chance. I have friends whose cheerleading for this vile branch of popular music is relentless, and the feeling that I'm missing out on something slowly builds and needs release every so often by the application of a brutal' [...]

This particular ancestor appears to have a greatly elongated right arm. I could hazard a guess as to how that happened: excessive churning of yak butter as a teenager. Why, what were you thinking?

I can't imagine political campaign seasons getting any worse, but every year they do. They're like the Bizarro Olympics. And it's one area where Republicans and Democrats are equally heinous. There is absolutely no way you could tell from their campaigns alone which is the better candidate [...]
