Now with more fiber!

Ooo! So fibrous!

Got my copy of Rained/Medicine from PS Publishing last week. Looks f-ing amazing! They put out such fabulous editions! Signed by Ray Bradbury and Caitlin Kiernan. Tons of extras. A fine looking set! Marvelous add to our already overflowing book shelf.

Took some pics of the book itself and slapped them all together here:



Also of note:

Had a great time at the 2008 Iowa Crossroads Conference! Great art... great music... great people! Met the lovely Cat Rocketship. We both admitted to not being very good at the mingling thing, talked about the local art scene, and hung out by the very large smoked salmon for a bit. Please check her work out at pleaseobey.com. She does some amazing work! See for yourself.

Another conference highlight- the MN band Pictures of Then. Talent to spare, and yes Casey, the lead singer's jeans were pretty amazing. Check them out at picturesofthen.com. Better live than what I heard on the demo I picked up at the conference, but really good stuff. And final conference note: Thank you Christina and Casey for stopping by! Really great seeing you both & totally appreciate the support. Hope you enjoy your complimentary prints.

Not that anybody reading this will be able to check this out, but I was recently featured in an internal magazine at ING - my day job - called ING Matters. The snip was focused on what ING employees do after hours. No, not that after hours. And since I'm not a vampire or an exotic dancer (any longer), I talked about my art. I might post the clip at some point, or I might forget. Either way, consider it blogged.

That should bring everybody up to date. Nothing else to report. You can stop reading now. No, really, that's all I have for you this time around. I'm serious. Later. Peace out. Okay... now it's just getting creepy. Bye now. So long. The end.

P.S. Why are people so genuinely surprised when wild animals do wild things? They're wild animals. Doesn't matter where they are. Put a tiger in a zoo... still a tiger. Shark in a swimming pool? Yep, still a shark. But that monkey is so adorable Chris! How adorable is it when it's beating you to death with your own f-ing arm? Um, not very adorable. Gosh.

Another P.S. Haven't bought Loyalty to Loyalty by Cold War Kids yet? Why the hell not? It's amazing! Not on the FIRST listen, but every listen after that... it's one of those CDs. If it wasn't for Radiohead releasing In Rainbows this year, Loyalty to Loyalty would be my pick for CD of 2008. Buy it already, damn!
