If you’re a fan of Zippy the Pinhead, you probably know that Zippy sometimes gets obsessed with an interesting word or turn of phrase and will get “stuck” repeating it like a mantra. If you’ve hung around me or my website for very long, you know that this is a commonality I share with Zippy. […]

So…the rubber penis is gone. It’s actually been gone a few weeks; it disappeared a few days after I photographed it. I shudder to imagine the circumstances of its departure. They can only be at least as, if not grosser than how it got there in the first place. Anyway, my world has not been […]

Seriously not safe for work. This post features content of a dirty, big rubber penis I found alongside of the road. I hope you consider this fair warning.

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 […]

(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 […]

I was just thinking about this song earlier. If I had illustration skills and videography skills, I’d make a stop motion animated music video for this song. I can see Pressed Rat in his red jodhpurs and Warthog wearing a striped tie (it is yellow, orange and green in my mind’s eye). Pressed Rat and […]

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 have become ridiculously fond of the Black Dice and other similar bleep-gizzle-frunzzzz type music. It is completely fantastic if you like weird music made up of random electronic bonking noises and zoinky sounds and general chopped-stirred-and-fried bleep-gleep effects. At work, we are allowed to listen to streaming ‘net radio, so long as we either […]

In 2002, the Hello Project Shuffle groups each performed and promoted a song based on the notion of “happiness My favorite of the three groups was Odoru 11, with “Shiawase Kyouryuu Ondo”…The Happy Dinosaurs March. About two years ago, I went fabric shopping with a friend – I was making some cushion covers for her, […]
