At the 15 year anniversary of my Desaturated Santa costume for Santacon, a friend of mine saw someone doing the costume again! In Colorado. Cool! It lives on! Best art project I ever did, I think.

An actual product that exists.

Remembering the time I took a gorgeous tartan wool jacket I inherited from my grandpa into the still-existing store in San Francisco where he bought it probably 50 years ago. I told the young salesguy about it and he said "Let me get my grandpa, he probably sold it to him."

I read the phrase "comic strippers" and it took me a good 30 seconds to realize they meant people who draw panel cartoons.

Someday there will exist a phone that can take good photos of the moon. Until then...fuck it, we ball.

Huh. This was from 4.5 years ago and unfortunately both still seem unlikely anytime soon.

Still thinking about this guy. I hope he's doing well.

I went down to Big Sur this past Saturday to mentally unplug a bit. I'm so grateful to live in California!

There was a dude in Yosemite, down by the river at 8am on Sunday morning, smoking a cigar and eating spray cheese from the can. Just vibing. It’s not my kind of indulgence, but dang if I don’t love that for him.
