Olde Man Tardigrade
( 4” x 4” / pen on illus. board / 2006 )

An old(e) favorite from a couple years ago, a sketch done for a children’s book illustration class. I was really into tardigrades then. I even wrote a book about one. Maybe someday I’ll finish it (let’s hope so!)

A list of characters from the upcoming Lisa Kudrow movie ‘Bandslam.’ This is maybe the finest group of characters ever assembled in a single motion picture.

My favorite is Sa5m. I can’t wait to see how they convey that ridiculous spelling in the context of the movie. Is she just going to introduce herself by saying ‘Hi I’m Sa5m, there’s the number 5 in the middle of there but it’s silent’ ? I sure hope so!

yeah, i did one of these too i need a 3-piece suit

Important Rant About The Cancellation of Two Guys, A Girl, and a Pizza Place

Wed, 01 Jul 2009 15:13:32 -0400

thatsimportant:

From the User Comments Section of IMDB:

“That this show was cancelled is a television crime of the first degree.

I can count on the fingers of one hand how many sitcoms have the same perfectly balanced character layout and genius comedy timing that this show has. Unfortuantely I would need more fingers than I currently own to count the number of sitcoms that are as funny and well timed as a bad car accident that have had longer runs (ie Friends, Third Rock, Fresh Prince of Bel Air, etc).

I must also stand up and salute Ryan Reynolds for being the best and funniest actor to come out of American network TV in many, many years.

Your initial reaction to this show is almost certainly going to be “Oh, God, not another rip off from [sic] ‘Friends’. Don’t let first impressions fool you, because Peter Dunville and Michael Bergen are funnier than Joey and Chandler will ever be. Traylor Howard manages to put up with stiff competition as well, as Sharon is the most believeable female character in a sitcom in recent years.

If, in 10 years time, the staff writers of Friends are walking around with signs around there neck [sic] saying ‘Will write pilots for food’ they can take a good look at TGAAG to see were they went wrong.

Instead of having the old fashioned (and unfunny) ‘What-if-two-of-the-main-characters-hook-up-after-three-seasons-of-sexual-tension’ routine, the writers went for the novel idea of drafting in some new regulars to act as foils for the original three. Cue the “Two Girls and a Guy” trio of Ashley, Irene and Johnny. And a better balance of characters you could not hope to find.

Where you have the cold-hearted, snake-tongued Ashley, you have the kindly, naive Pete. Where you have the cool-headed Johnny, you have the hyperactive Sharon. Where you have the silly, stuttery Irene, you have the quick-wittedness of Berg. All you have to then is think up good storylines and you’re made. Aren’t you?

Er…no.

Two Guys and A Girl [sic] sadly succumbed to the network mantra of: ‘This is good, let’s cancel it.’

Full of good intentions, no sinister effort to cash in on anyone’s misery. Just a story about some people living out their lives. Oh well.

At least we’ve still got quality sitcoms like um….Frie- no that sucks, er…..Drew Ca- no that sucks too. Well there’s always….no, what about…..nah. We can always watch…………..um.

Oh, crap.”

This Collective Pull

Sun, 28 Jun 2009 20:14:56 -0400

justinpaszul:

On Friday, June 12 I was in a small group show called ‘This Collective Pull.’ It was curated by Bea Modisett at an apartment on Dane Street in Beverly, MA. The other artists were all fellow Montserrat alumni: Peter Brefini, Justin Bothwell, Claudia Friedel, Brendan McCauley, Bea Modisett, Julie O’Boyle and Emily Pardoe. It was a nicely diverse group of work, and it was good to see what people have been working on since graduating.

Here are a couple of pictures of the show, taken by Julie.

Also, click here to see good-quality scans of my pieces in the show.

Oh hey so I own a leisure suit now. Don’t let it fool you, it’s not actually denim, it’s polyester with denim patterning (!!!). Plus bellbottomed pants, and faux-suede accents on the jacket pockets.

Also note the shirt worn underneath, it is decorated with scenes of the American farmland and forested riverside.

I finished two books today (#46 & 47).

Joan Didion
Salvador (1983)

Fascinating and terrifying.

Robert Olen Butler
Severance (2006)

Sixty-three 210-word stories, each one the last stream-of-consciousness thoughts of a severed human head (also one Medusa, one dragon, and one chicken).
