He’s going to regret kissing me on camera.

…Everyone always does.

Perspective & Susie Oh

This book just revealed why I love Susie Oh’s art. For every advantage gained from a particular system of representation, other possibilities are lost. Thus, linear perspective is only one of many representational systems and is certainly not always the most useful or appropriate technique. – John Montague, Basic Perspective Drawing, A Visual Guide (fourth [...]

Hike: Chuckanut Falls + rocks

“Chuckanut Falls” is really just a “Chuckanut fall,” and it’s not even deep enough to drown in. I’m pretty sure rich people have showers with higher water pressure. That said, there’s something bad-ass about a waterfall so small that you can go stand in it without a deathwish. Also, it didn’t pick a bad location [...]

Monday trip to Seattle: ancient pipes & animation school

I’ve been meaning to go on The Underground Tour with my friend Cherie for like… I don’t know, three years or something? And now that she’s moving away we finally managed to squeeze it in. One of the sad things about living an hour away from Seattle (and not having a driver’s license) is that [...]

Thanks again, Spencer and Sam, for helping me figure out an important convergence between theme and plot. <3 Oh, and for letting me get this photo [...]

Potlatch 21

I love Potlatch because it’s a cozy convention populated with interesting people who share one common love: books. I’m often invited to gatherings where the common denominator among the participants doesn’t excite me. Some of you know I’m not really big on QUILTBAG events, for example, because I’m more comfortable using hobbies as common ground [...]

Contact juggling isn’t for ophthalmologists

So, today my friend Richard greeted me by sneaking up behind me and slapping my face. (He said the slap was from our precious Eliza. I guess it was either slap me or draw me as Batman with a visible scrotum.) Anyway, back to Rit. He is an obnoxious hippie who lives in some kind [...]
