This is the last thing that bee saw this morning before I tore him to pieces with my bare neck. Â Oh sure, Bee — you got a little sting in there, but you are now most unarguably dead, AND I EMERGE THE VICTOR!!
Next time try picking on someone your own size.

We’re getting dangerously close to that little period of the year where Southern California gets a bit of rain and cooler weather. Â Better make hay while the sun shines. Â Or at least BBQ chicken.

I was reading about scorpions today. Â Sort of. Â So I figured I’d try drawing one. Â Then I tried a couple more. Â Then it seemed like I might as well fill the sketchbook page. Â You’re welcome, readers who find scorpions creepy!

Always a party when these two show up.

Husbands and wives get equal Netflix privileges, and we watched my choice a couple days ago. Â This sketch was inspired by the formulaic basketball-themed romantic comedy we watched this evening. Â I know what you’re thinking: “Basketball rom-com! Â But that sounds so promising!”

I was struck by this amazing photo today, while looking through Ansel Adams’ incredible images from the Manzanar War Relocation Center. Â Having visited there a few years back, I was astounded at how bleak and desolate it was. Â I couldn’t imagine being required to live there. Â To me, that makes his collection all the more remarkable. Â As Adams apparently wrote when submitting his work to the Library of Congress:
“The purpose of my work was to show how these people, suffering under a great injustice, and loss of property, businesses and professions, had overcome the sense of defeat and dispair [sic] by building for themselves a vital community in an arid (but magnificent) environment…All in all, I think this Manzanar Collection is an important historical document, and I trust it can be put to good use.”
For more of Adams’ experience of Manzanar, check out his photos and writings.

Yes, I realize it’s pronounced “boat.” Â But these are size 13, so that’s not far off. Â Plus, I was using them to keep up above the water on this rainy day.

I’m often amused by art that for no apparent reason just takes a human form and transposes some unexpected object in place of the head.  So I thought I would stop by Flickr and let their random photo picker come up with the ingredients for just such a piece.  And thus was born the first member of the fearsome North Korean Baby Alpaca Regiment of Genetic Superwarriors.

A little doodle inspired by today’s visit to the legendary Roscoe’s House of Chicken N’ Waffles. Â A legendarily horrifying/delicious Southern California institution that never disappoints.

A little homage to my good pal “@thelonelypie,” who was our guest this evening.  Always a pleasure, sir.
