Tis the Season...

The Christmas season brings out the worst in people, including me. I spent far too many years working at retail stores at this time of year to have any sympathy for the masses of shoppers descending onto the malls. Remember folks, be nice to the people working in the stores. They are overworked, underpaid and they don't want to deal with your shit. If you are looking for the hottest book, video game, or toy, you are not going to find it so don't take it out on the salespeople. You never know, your rude comment could be the final straw that pushes the otherwise mild-mannered, friendly kid behind the counter over the edge into spree-killer land. Just a warning. To all my brothers and sisters still working in retail, hang in there. It's almost over. Happy holidays :)

Mission Accomplished!

The beast has been captured, and driven far off into the woods and set free. I wasn't around to witness the epic battle that resulted in its capture. Hopefully, it will not be returning any time soon.

In other animal related news, I saw a huge red-tailed hawk in the Public Gardens.
This bird was so fat on squirrels I am amazed it could still fly.

Sometimes, I hate this place...

Sometimes, I just hate this place.


Is it just me, or is there something truly fucked up with the human race?

Isn't there something wrong when a million people can be butchered with machetes and no one in the west notices until they make a movie ten years later?

Should two percent of the world's population really control half the worlds assets? Is that right? Can this possibly be a good thing? I don't think so.

Is it really necessary for the United States to spend more on the military than the next ten countries combined?

Isn't it kind of strange that people kill each other arguing over who's imaginary friend is better?

Is it a good idea to keep dumping shit in the air and water when we know it's going to fuck up the planet?

Isn't it odd that the people who deny the existence of global warming have the most to gain from denying it?

Isn't a little odd that the president of the most powerful country on the planet can stay in office even when he starts an unprovoked war under false pretenses? Or that the vice-president of the same country can SHOOT SOMEONE IN THE FACE and not even get a slap on the wrist?

It's just depressing. I really think that sometimes that the world would be better off if 90% of the human population just dropped dead.

I guess it's not this place that I hate, it's just the barely evolved apes that are fucking it up that I hate. Makes me want to paint my brains on the ceiling sometimes, I tell ya.

Oh, It's on Now!

The raccoons continue their merciless assault. They scurry in the ceilings and under the floorboards, carrying about their devious plots. I have begun my counter atttack, and the trap is set. Wish me luck.

Raccoons are Terrorists.

I have raccoons in my ceiling and I suspect they may be terrorists.

Don't Forget!

Don't forget! Today is the Day of the Ninja!

Grab your weapons and head for the rooftops! Kill your enemies! Kill your friends! Kill yourself!

Star Wars: A New Hope

I watched the original Star Wars today. I have seen it hundreds if not thousands of times, but it has been a while since I actually sat down and paid attention to it. Usually I just put it on for background noise while I am doing other things. I must say, it holds up pretty damn well. Such a good movie!

I realized it's been a long, long time since I drew anything related to Star Wars, so I whipped this out. I used an old publicity still for reference, and I was trying to go for a graphic/poster look. It was an ink drawing, colored in photoshop. Total time ~1 hour.
