What we do is Secret

Trip out on this and have a good year to pals who read this blog.

Sorry for saying I'm sorry

New paintings. Bad cropping job on the top one- the lines are actually somewhat straight for once. Hopefully we'll (Aaron, Kira, and whoever else is down) will have an art show soon-ish.

"THE BIBLE"

Shark Bait got reviewed again in the new THRASHER.
As much as that stokes me out, for some reason being quoted ("send money, stamps, or suicide notes") in the Table of Contents is even cooler to me.....

I got this really inspiring post card in the mail today. It was always cool how the presumably very busy Ian MacKaye took the time to send a "thank you" post card whenever I sent him 'zines, but this one is a little more special to me. When I mailed him a copy of my book I asked him to send some feedback if he didn't mind, and I half-expected it to be negative. It may not be the best sign that people keep complimenting the title that makes fun of myself, but I'll take all the positive reviews I can get. If you aren't sure who Ian MacKaye is for some weird reason click the "dischord" link on the right side of the page.

Expect the Worst

Sorry for all the self-promotion and lack of posts lately- here's a bunch of random stuff in no particular order. Here's Georgie getting weird in our front yard.Spencer getting dirty.
Skate park and regular park sesh with The Doc and Spence.
Hayden, Rudy, Dylan, and Bryce.
Wesley- front D at 1004.
Why not visit the site of a terrorist attack in between skating and going to a show? This place is bummersville.
Thomas and Sean.
Matt and Whitey.
I call this kid "Killa I"- his name is Isaac and that's all I could think of. He's real quiet and then comes out of his shell during games of skate. One of my park faves. This was his first time at the ditch and he was super hyped.
Hort and Chad.
Dinosaur Jr.
Built to Spill brings out the beardos. "Teenager" and Todd.
"Okie pride" done by Murder Ink in Stillwater.

Book Preview

Here's what the book I made 3 weeks ago looks like. It came out a little smaller than I

thought so I lowered the price. (When you go to buy it, it will say it's 21.99, but in the

"cart" it's only 18.99. Thanks in advance to the 3 people who actually buy one.

Project Mersh

You should totally buy my new book of paintings- http://www.lulu.com/content/lulustudio-photo-book/my-kid-couldve-painted-that/7809401

Oi! to the world

Went to see the Riverboat Gamblers last week not knowing we'd be entering the oi! zone
Punk really isn't dead, huh?
Lower Class Brats- they sounded good, but between all the hair and flare it was a bit to take in.
Riverboat Gamblers read Shark Bait.
They were tripping on Megan's tattoo of this logo. The funny thing is she wasn't even really familiar with their music, just really, really liked this. They all took pics of her ankle and possibly thought she was a super-fan.
Super good.

It's amazing how if you just ask someone if you can take their picture they're generally not only okay with it, but flattered. This dude was cool.
