Continuing On This Record Store Week "release All My Music" Bonanza Comes Prescription Strength Hugs' Detuskit

I whittled a collection of fruit and veg for my nephew. All hand carved from basswood with a Carvin’ Jack knife and lightly finished with a smooth sandpaper to preserve the faceted look of the knife cuts. Main body colors were applied with an airbrush using Vallejo Model Air paint. Details painted on by hand with brush. First real foray into carving and will be doing lots more.

My sister has this dog named Mabel, she's a real piece of work (the dog). I made this for her (my sister).

A new mix for the season. The previous soul mix was pretty great, but this one folks, phew. I also got pretty obsessive (shocker) about sweetening these old vinyl rips, seeing as though they were flat as all get out. Nothing fancy other than that, just ten excellent soul songs from the 60s & 70s. Please enjoy.

More of the pixel-rockers. Rockbands need maracas too. I think this guy may run undercover stage security.

Bird 4: House Sparrow

The ultra-common, often ratty, occasionally cute House Sparrow. These guys are all over the states, and Brooklyn is no exception. Commonly found fighting pigeons for bread.

Season 3 Episode 3 in which Giovanni Ribisi plays a lightning-infused youth bent on getting the Virtua Fighter highschore and his boss’s wife. His name: Darin Peter Oswald.

This is part of an ongoing project to catalogue the villains from the television series X Files. Check out the others here!

Aurora Vs Coil

Reading the second installment of Aurora West's story in the Battling Boy universe. Love the art and monster-world. My only gripe (more a disappointment) is the printing quality. Kinda cruddy newsprint makes the greyscale coloring pretty muddy. Wanted to draw Aurora taking on her nemesis baddy Coil (in that sweet Paul Pope color).

Night Before Le Tour

The Tour de France begins tomorrow. This will be the first year I watch with any interest. I recently read the book It’s All About the Bike and it got me seriously into the idea of long tours. Learning about how these multi-day races began and what those first competitors suffered through made me look with a pretty critical eye on the modern Tour de France - with its teams of mechanics, daily massages and limit per day. In the old days (some hundred years ago), these men would ride as long as they possibly could (in extreme cases, up to three days without getting off the bike). They were often drugged up and half-crazed and some people died, so I suppose this had to be addressed at some point. Learning a little more about the course I’ve decided the daily set stages and all the pampering of the riders at each day’s finish line does not detract from the challenge of what must be an excruciating 3 weeks. So, I’m pretty excited to see some serious bicycling. I think also, they pee on the bike. Here is what I imagine each competitor will be dreaming tonight.
