Please, help. Everyone wants a piece of my tail.

Oh, man. Here's the thing, in high school teachers and advisers and your parents make you believe that if you don't go to college you won't become anything. They put a lot of faith in knowledge without stocking up know-how. To a certain extent an education can really help you out, there is a level of knowledge that most people should attain but college isn't really for the gathering of knowledge in most fields. There is some but even for the degrees that require you to know a lot, the most important aspect in getting a job is less what you know and more who you know. I should go back to school, I have so much drive and ability to impress by my sheer will desire to get things done right, every employer I have ever met wants to work for them forever. With a degree I could show the right people I have drive. Or maybe, I'll go the Bill Gates route and show them without one. Everyone wants a piece of my tail.

Please help everyone except the aliens.

Since I made you sit through all those old ones here are some of the most recent. I like this one because it's so simple. Enough said.

A post-X Mass Present

As a self-congratulating pat on the back to all of us for making it through another X Mass intact, I wanted to offer this as a visual present to everyone.


This is the piece that originally spawned the comic. I wasn't really planning on painting it, it just sort of spilled out of me one night. It's water-color, oil paint, sharpie, latex paint on mirror backing. Approximately 3' x 4'. Currently hanging on the wall of my apartment (that's the red in the background).

So, Jolly X-Mass, pirates. We've successfully completed our mission.

Third in the series

This was the point where I realized that I was in the midst of a series. Two paintings of the same theme are a set but this one brought it into a whole new ballpark.


Oil paint, latex paint, & oil pastels on cardboard.

Painting number 2

This is the second painting in the series. All the sharpie work done on it is mine. Originally it was painted canvas pulled from a dumpster.

Like most of my images, this really happened to me.

The painting that started it all.

For those of you who don't know (which is probably most of you) the comic originally started as a painted series. Here is the first piece.






The label is kinda hard to read; it's called, "Please, help. This box is killing me."

It's refuse: mirror back, box from off of my floor, bag from Dell. & pastel crayons.
