One of my passions as an artist is to embrace all the “happy little accidents”: The seemingly random accidents that end up creating something uniquely attractive. Every piece of mine has these, whether we’re talking about my modern AI-influenced works or my ancient pieces from so many years ago that they have been lost (like ...

So, with the launch of Pain Propaganda, I finally have a little time to “breathe”. Of course, taking that time is a bit of a challenge when you’re a workaholic. I’ve got little fixes to make to the site. I’ve got to get ([RE]DIS)INTEGRATED sent off to distributors. I’ve got to get serious about my ...

So, I happen to celebrate my birthday during Pride month. That makes me stupid happy. Today I had a really, really good day. I got up, went to a coffee shop to make some code fixes to this site and GGN and sipped on a free birthday drink (although I think I just discovered something ...

I’ve been a smoker for about 13 years now. I picked up the habit working in the newspaper industry, which is high-stress and filled with people who turn to all sorts of vices to relieve said stress.

Throughout my entire life, I can’t even begin to count the number of medications I’ve taken, from when I was a tiny little kid to now. Prednisone is one that I’ve taken countless times ...

Friday I got my COVID-19 vaccine. That’s a big deal for me; not only do I always have strong negative reactions to them, but I also suffer from severe trypanophobia (due to some childhood trauma that I’m not going to dredge up right now). Thankfully, they were rotating in the Johnson & Johnson single-dose vaccine, ...

Knobbins, my bearded dragon, has been my companion in life for nearly 10 years. We’d watch TV, work, listen to music and more together. I remember many years back when she was in her teenage years, she curled up on my chest in a little circle and took a nap with me. When I got ...

Congratulations, Quincy IL. We’re now a COVID-19 hotspot. Wondering where the rest of the post is? Well, I decided to leave a rather vulgar rant up for about 12 hours, and now it’s gone. I said my peace. The graphic, however, you can enjoy (I’m getting a test print of it on a t-shirt soon, ...
