Plight Of The Living Dead and Night Squid Studios
joined forces for the first time!!
(on a tiny 6' table)



The Art What You Got Festival was a hot, sweaty, and delightful day. Despite my unavoidable crankiness that consumed me about half way through, I had a good experience. I received a lot of good feedback, and was fortunate enough to have bartered with two other very talented Pgh artists for their fancy earrings.


Thanks for supporting the Night Squid, Pittsburgh!





On another note: I've recently discovered the genius animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender. I'm a little behind on the times. But now thanks to our new faster internet, Netflix- watch instantly has sucked my desire for productivity away, as well as allowing me to watch the shows I didn' t know exist (and a lot of Bones).
I find the concepts and symbolism that the show portrays to feel fresh, and encouraging. Perhaps birthing new ideas for my own art. Who knows?
Along with this, I am also very disappointed that the movie looks so bad. Most likely not worth my time or money. That's just too bad, because it surely wasted a lot of others time and money just making the hunk-of-junk.


Also this weekend I will be traveling to Detroit to see the Suicide Machines reunion show with The Code, We Are The Union, The Bill Bondsmen and Wreak Havok. Should be a good time!

New Home and Beautiful Wedding




The T's New Home!



The wonderful people who sold us the house,
were nice enough to leave their mattress in the front lawn. It killed my grass.




The Groom sipping on his spicy juice


Me with my niece and nephew

After 30 years, the addition finally gets siding.
I love the cabin. This walnut grove
holds all the magic in the world for me.

The Wedding Day


The ceremony was very beautiful!
...and short!
The party was long (3days)

My Beautiful Brother

CONGRATULATIONS to Mr. Jeremiah Jones and Mrs. Cecilia Grimm!
