The Persistence of Decay (Youtube Essay)
One more year passes and once again WordPress reminds me that I still own this website and that they still collect money from my bank account. It came out only a couple of days ago, spurring the thought that I really ought to either contribute something or let the whole thing go. Oddly enough, I also came across this video essay by Sarah Davis Baker that touches on themes of digital decay. I…
I am Tired of Selling.
There used to be a little book-and-art-and-handmade-goods store on the North Shore of Chattanooga back in the 2010’s, when I was attending university nearby. Coming from the small and culturally dead town that I grew up in, places like these were new, and novel, and made me feel like a real adult just for being within them.It was in this little store that I was first introduced to the concept of…
We've lost the internet (at least, it feels that way).
Does anyone else feel like we’ve lost the internet? It’s still here. You’re on it right now. But it doesn’t feel like it’s ours anymore. It feels like the main thoroughfare of any American city these days: lined with the same dozen or so stores, all owned by the same handful of companies fighting for our attention, while older mom-and-pop businesses are relegated to deteriorating strips or…
Updates From the Front - Boxes, Day Jobs, and Re-Igniting the Fire
These days, if I see an opportunity to do something, I do it. There’s no hee-hawing, no agonizing over the pros and cons, or wondering whether it would be better to just stay in and marathon some mindless entertainment. This is a major departure from the person I was in my twenties – yes, that person took a handful of solo trips, and once in a blue moon would go out “on the town” because the…

The China Question (Ethics, Manufacturing, and Making a Living as an Artist)
This is going to be a messy stream of thoughts more than anything else, but it’s a question that’s been rattling around in my head for some time now. I’ve been in the process of packing up my entire house in preparation for a move that was supposed to happen last year. Life and financial circumstances have thrown a wrench in my moving plans, as they have a habit of doing, but I should be on track…

I read Hillbilly Elegy - and I don't understand why it makes people mad.
I read Hillbilly Elegy – and I don’t understand why it makes people mad.
It didn’t used to be a small celebration when I finished a book. That’s because I used to read the damn things like they were going to become contraband at any moment. But, I humbly admit to being one of those people who have forgotten how to make time for things like books that make life worth living. Any activity that can’t be done simultaneously with another activity somehow feels…

What the hell happened?
What the hell happened?
I’m still not sure. The “bad year” turned into another “bad year”. And so far, it looks like we’re balls deep in “bad year” number three. Maybe it’s going to be bad years from here on out. Maybe nothing is ever going to be the same as it was. And, in some ways, that’s a good thing. Weren’t we going to start a blog about being a freelance illustrator? Weren’t we going to be a freelance…

FINALLY
The goat will probably go on the wall or a shelf eventually, but here’s my dead corner for now! I clearly need more skulls, 43 doesn’t look like a lot…
The background is a collage of animal illustrations and diagrams.
Lemminkäinen’s Mother, Akseli Gallen-Kallela, 1897
dreamed that kindergarten nap was called sleep class and everybody went to sleep including the teacher. if you were awake it would get a little bit foggy outside and grey and cloudy, and these guys would start approaching the classroom from behind the tree line (forgive my shitty phone drawing)
and they were at least a story tall, some of them were taller, you could see their legs over the trees. they would approach very slowly. this one (the one i drew) had a name for some reason, his name is kick.
before i was totally awake my brain conjured a meme of a bunch of these guys approaching from the treeline and a child watching from the window with the caption “when you the only one awake in sleep class 😂😳😏”
ok this is TERRIFYINGLY close to what i saw in my head while i was sleeping thank you.
“Why have you come here?”
