Facebook. Freakin’ Facebook. It’s a love/hate website, that’s for sure. It’s fun to keep up with your friends, see your old schoolmates’ babies, check out your co-workers Spotify picks, hand out party invites, RSVP to same…it’s a daily ritual that many of us enjoy. Mostly. But Facebook has a habit of inventing new ways to […]

On Saturday, I found myself among friends, hanging around behind an abandoned industrial building. Some folks were drinking beers; all of us were talking shit. Because that’s what we do. Shoot the bull, drink beer, and hang around debris-strewn alleyways behind abandoned buildings. We’re classy n’ shit. Any old how, I wasn’t drinking beer because […]

IMG_7462, a photo by Meetzorp on Flickr. Mixed media: chewing gum, broken glass, mounted to an asphalt base. A three dimensional expression in found materials. (or a load of horseshit cloaked in big words, constructed from debris found in a parking lot Further elucidation forthcoming at my upcoming gallery show. I’ve got a spot at […]

Today, boys and girls (probably mostly girls) I’m going to show you how to turn this: Raggedy, damaged men’s suit jacket into these: cute and cheeky women’s shorts. Before we get into the slicin’ and dicin’ of this crafts hack, I have a word of disclaimer or two. This is not any sort of a […]

I’ve been gluing stuff to other stuff lately. For example: Sequins + button + hairpin More sequins, a button, a bead, and a hairpin. La, la, laaaaa…more of the same, but in a more subtle and refined color scheme. Kind of elegant for being a bunch of crap glued together. This is meant to be […]

Realistically, I am pretty sure I can make my own custom toilet-flush frame for my MA certificate. There are unnecessarily complicated birthday cards which have a little battery-powered recorder gizzy so you can record your own greeting. When I could do is disembowel one of those cards, record a toilet flush sound effect on the […]

Well, well, well, well, well! Another Regatta has passed with no deaths, arrests, or maulings by invasive Asiatic Carp, so I guess we can chalk up yet another successful run down the Missouri. So last Thursday evening, our back porch looked like this. My neighbors love me. On Wednesday night, I was prowling throughout Strawberry […]

because I got wolf-whistled while armpits deep in a garbage can in downtown Kansas City Kansas. The absurdity of the situation just tickled me eight shades of pink. KCKS guys have basically no standards, nor dignity. I mean, srsly? But sexual harrassment and foul odors nonetheless, i think I got enough bottles for my boat […]

On my way home from work today, I rode past some very busy fireworks stands in the West Bottoms.
