I just found this header that I had created a while ago (January or February?) for an essay of sorts that I was writing about the use of President (Elect, then) Barack Obama’s good will at the time to sell complete shit. And when I say complete shit, I am referring to the Obama Victory Plate, Obama 50¢ Coin (for the cool price of $9.95, not legal tender), and the tables full of Obama stickers, posters, t-shirts, pins, postcards and various other chotchkies I would see all over Union Square. Basically the type of stuff that should have been either manufactured directly in a landfill or come packaged already in a dumpster to just completely remove the middle man.
When I found this image, it made me laugh at the absurdity of it. I thought that I would share it here because I am most likely not going to post my finished essay because it is no longer topical.

If I have to do any digital illustrations or extensive tablet use in Photoshop I always do a short warm up. It usually consists of a box, a pyramid, a circle, squiggly lines and a test of different pressures/line-weights.
Side question: Does anybody know of any good techniques to draw in Illustrator. I have tried multiple times but always quit in frustration over how finicky and seemingly inprecise it is when changing stroke weights. Any suggestions or tips would be appreciated.

Every time I update my iTunes I hope that they will fix this little red dot that is created when I minimize to taskbar mode. When I first noticed it, I thought it was a dead pixel but it goes away when I restore the window and I have seen it on all the computers I use daily. It is a very small detail but it drives me nuts. Come on Apple, people don’t need a new iPhone; they need the red dot to be fixed.

So I arrived in New York today. It was a crazy day full of losing stuff, dealing with security and general tiredness. I always like to remember that in times like this you must stay calm. This video is a little exercise that I like to do when I am stressed.
Let\’s do this exercise together.

Or maybe it is a toad. I don’t know. Regardless I found this little fellow next to the TV tonight. I put him in a jar and tried to take some pictures of him but most of them were out of focus because he kept jumping around. He is now free and watching someone else’s TV outside.
