Prize Shirt Preview.

There you go.  The first hand-stenciled prototype Full Body Transplant prize shirt, in living color.  If anyone knows jedimario on Realms, tell him to send me his size and snail mail.  He is the winner of the Cards through the Ages contest.   Mad grats.
The Earth 3 contest is currently being controlled by Pi.  Don’t be intimidated by his comprehensive entry, click [...]

For Your Viewing Pleasure.

So, as you can see, Typhoid Mary has led me to the promised land.  The artist known as Red.  Living in Montreal, surely as excited as we are about the playoffs starting tommorrow night.  Each one of those cards was randomly packaged by Upper Deck and flung to the far corners of the collecting universe.  [...]

An Art Request.

Yesterday, a brave blogger asked to see more of my stuff.  Those are my lizards.  Linoleum reduction print.
Somewhere in the swirl of time, I previously posted my primary motivation.  My first love. 
Enjoy.

No Fooling.

Happy April Fool’s Day.  I never much cared for the tradition.  Institutionalized lying?  No thanks.
Instead of faking some sort of shocking prank today, I would like to share a short interview I just completed with a friend, over on the message boards we inhabit.   This is as close as I can get to the real truth [...]

Home is where the Mulletman is.

Our hero was framed!  Longshot now rests comfortably on the same wall as the thermostat, a lithograph by Nina’s best friend from college, and the family heirloom I inherited from my beloved Grandma Briggs.  That priceless trophy fish is from the Indiana farmhouse where my mom grew up growing carrots for V8.  My grandmother caught the [...]

Thursday Thirteen: Perfect For Each Other.

 
(Bottle of Love and Box of Heart, both created by my beautiful wife.) 
Nina and I are perfect for each other.  It has always been the main goal of our lives, and we have actually accomplished it.  Let me count the ways. 
1. We both believe that sex is a spiritually supernovic ritual for absolute transformation and [...]

Deeply Satisfying Employment.

It doesn’t happen very often these days, but I always focus on the pinnacles anyway so let me gush.  My student Young Foster just finished that poster for a scholarship contest at the Art Institutes.  He did the background drawing with charcoal, and then the magick of Photoshop kicked in.  I am old enough to [...]

The Things That Make Life Worth Living.

   
You can click on those to make them bigger, but don’t say I didn’t warn you.  They will blow your mind.  I am extremely honored and inspired this morning to share a space with them.  The front page of www.neatorama.com - perhaps the funkiest online gallery in the world - includes my weekend [...]

The Gift Beyond Compare.

Yes, that is what you think it is.  The original Alex Garner drawing from the card heard ’round the world.  Longshot, Rebel Freedom Fighter.  Upper Deck’s Vs. System.  The legendary Mulletman.
For those of you that I know and love from our trading card game community, I beg your indulgence today.  I need to explain how special [...]

First Look: New Upper Deck Logo in Gold Foil.

   
Okay gang, vacation is over and I am back to work with access to a scanner.  That arrived the week before Christmas.  The Upper Deck company card, four and a half by six and a quarter inches.  Ever seen a Christmas card with a counterfeit-proof hologram before?  You can click on those scans for higher resolution.  [...]
