Cymbal Monkey

A photo I took when I was 18, developed in Photo 101... and subsequently
stuck in a box. I still like it though :)

*"And I said, I don't care if they lay me off either, because I told, I told Bill that if they move my desk one more time, then, then I'm, I'm quitting, I'm going to quit. And, and I told Don too, because they've moved my desk four times already this year, and I used to be over by the window, and I could see the squirrels, and they were married, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn't bind up as much, and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and it's not okay because if they take my stapler then I'll set the building on fire...

Stupid Wisdom

Today I get my wisdom teeth out. It is way past their time to be removed and they are causing other issues including a terrible amount of pain. I am looking forward to being pain free but NOT looking forward to surgery and druggedness and post-op discomfort. I'm nervous too. I guess this is what I get for putting it off. I remember when I went to have my gallbladder out (also unfortunate genetics) I was freezing before I went under, even when covered by heated blankets, because I was scared.

Kindling by James Jean

Pretty stoked I actually won something! I left a comment on the Chronicle Books blog about Comic Con and they are sending me "Kindling" by James Jean, which is coming out on August 12th.

From the Chronicle Books site:
"Kindling -- This collection of brand new work by James Jean showcases the larger-than-life power of his fine art painting. Bursting with unexpected beauty and hidden meaning, each of these 12 large-format prints features a lush painting on one side and a collection of intricate preliminary sketches on the other side. Housed in a sturdy keepsake portfolio, the pages, including an over-sized gatefold poster, can be left in place and leafed through time and again or removed from the portfolio and framed as eye-catching wall art."

Mr. Jean also has some of his designs on the Gap (RED) Artist Ts available now. The blue floral one is especially nice.
