Over the past year or so I’ve been slowly revisiting my Or Against Us project. My original idea was to experiment with form a bit, see how different presentations affected the message. So in kind of a cop-out way I’ve done that.
Paginated versions
Or Against Us (just realized that my page count is off for this. Oops!)
Annotated Rwanda
Poster-sized versions (a less success but more fun experiment)
UPDATE: I am lazy and let the URL expire. The project now resides as http://youareagainstus.com
Nerd baseball is a mix of really geeky baseball talk about WARP and such, and posting of really geeky looking baseball players. I mean, look at this guy:
Pretty much guaranteed that this guy heard of BALCO the same time you did
Can you believe that he was really a Major League Baseball player?
Anyway, I made their logo! They are great guys! Geek out and read their site!
Some of my favorite coins from around the world. Notice a theme? More on this later.
Mike Briggs and I have started a new comic about our friend K-Ya! We take turns drawing and then the other person tries to write something that goes with it. It is very fun. For us. Check it out!
Storyboarding is just about done for the animation segments for What’s Organic About Organic? They’re planning on submitting to a few festivals before they’ll all be done, however, so I had to do some placeholder illustrations.
Here are a few. As always, you can learn more about the film here: http://whatsorganicmovie.org
Found these from the vault. The first is of St. Stephen’s Green in Dublin. The other is outside of Donegal, I’m pretty sure (it’s been a while).

Wish it had more historical data, though. Feel like we’re missing half the story. From Wikipedia:
No disrespect meant, but their designer needs to work on his icons more, I have no idea what those silhouettes are doing
Yup, this is my neighborhood. Apparently “Mitzvah Tanks” are common (at least according to whomever wrote the Wikipedia entry), but this is the first one I’ve ever seen. Seeing this R.V. drive down an extremely Caribbean stretch of Nostrand Ave gave me my fill of culture shock for the day. Brooklyn rules!
In case it’s not clear, the poster toward the front of the RV is of the Lubavitch messiah, who’s headquarters is about half a mile from me. You have most likely seen his flyers on the subway at some point. This brings me to another point: This messiah guy has been DEAD for over fourteen years. What! I just found this out, and honestly, felt a little cheated. But maybe that’s HOW he became messiah? I don’t really know how this stuff works, I gotta do some research. I will fill you in!

During the last snow storm I looked out my kitchen window to see this:
Seems innocuous enough...
Totally weird footprints. At first I thought it was just the stray cat that hangs out in that area, but as I looked closer:
But actually totally nocuous to my mental health!
Definitely NOT animal footprints. The ones closest to the access ladder look to have clear heel/toe indentations. But what’s up with the weird duckstep? Was this person leaping from spot to spot? All the way down the ladder? Or maybe doing the marriage walk, bringing one foot up to meet the other? I DON’T GET IT.
We have some neighbors right below us with a pair of boys. Could the older brother made the younger march to his death! Probably not since I saw him yesterday. Completely driving me crazy.
A very cool discussion of the photographic record of former President George W. Bush. Errol Morris asked the photo editors of the three major wire services to select a series of photographs that “captured the character of the man and of his administration.”
The collection serves as a preview of how history might remember his presidency. It also shows enough range of character to serve as a reminder that no matter how well we feel we know a public figure, his or her true self remains largely a mystery.
