50 year old Lizard & 2 year old house weasel. Happy 50th birthday to me & Happy Lizardman Day to one and all. It was 16 years ago when I decided that I would declare my birthday to be a holiday known as 'Lizardman Day' - celebrated everywhere, of course. I even suggested 'traditional' games & celebrations for people who wanted to participate more actively. It was, and is, a silly idea that seemed like a fun way to get people to join in my birthday celebrations - if I can offer you nothing else, let me offer you an excuse to have a good time. This year Lizardman Day marks my 50th birthday. I've spent over half my life as a professional freak. If you've ever given me the chance to make you laugh or smile - I hope I did & I hope to get the chance again someday. I have tried to carve out a life where I am able to enjoy myself while giving others something to enjoy. I will never cease to appreciate that anyone other than myself finds my antics amusing and that I am among the very lucky few that can survive solely as an artist. Thank you for your support. And remember that if the guy who got his tongue cut in half and sticks stuff up his nose made it; your crazy scheme might not be that far fetched either... If you're in the Austin area, catch me Monday night (June 13th) at the Highball as part of the Austin Menagerie show at 8pm - it's free and you get to see me! #thelizardman #quokkatheferret (at Austin, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CesXbXQOW9_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
