Suburban Cartoons For Everyone!

August 12, 2008 – 8:58 am

I did these little 18×24 paintings last week. I am trying to remember what I saw when I was a kid in the ‘burbs, with a lot of time and nothing to do. I am noticing that what I remember at this point is women my parents age who could potentially give me food. Maybe [...]

More Cartoons Of Sunbelt Suburbia In The Seventies

August 8, 2008 – 9:46 am

Well, one more, anyway. More to follow. I have more fun drawing these little pieces of fragmented memory from my distant youth than I do painting them, but painting them is pretty great, too. When I get enough of the images together, they will come together as a story or series of stories, and I [...]

I Like Cartoons

August 7, 2008 – 11:44 am

And as long as the hot wet blanket of August makes it hard for me to slap paint, I’m going to do the most funnest thing I can– paint cartoons. Cartoons about suburbia when I was a sunbelt teenager.

St Petersburg Florida Keeps Us Safe From Degenerate Art. Praise Jesus.

July 29, 2008 – 11:20 am

My first action as regards this story yesterday was to blast it out to my Upper Left Coast media buddies so that they could heap further well-deserved abuse on the rubes of Florida and add to the merriment of the rest of the nation, who scorn us with unwavering scorn. As is appropriate. More grist [...]

Room Temp Glass Doesn’t Flow, Even At Florida Temperatures

July 29, 2008 – 9:46 am

I was going to make some sort of observation about how I captured the flowing nature of glass, which technically a super-cooled liquid, but it turns out that the notion that “solid” glass continues to flow very slowly at normal temperatures is crap and in the category of such gee-whiz urban legends such as “we [...]

The St Petersburg Police: A Subtropical Noir View

July 15, 2008 – 11:19 am

The right time of day and atmospheric conditions can make anything look cool. The stretch of Central just north of Tropicana Field is kind of sparse and in need of infill to connect the Grand Central district with downtown St Pete, but at least it has a place to get drunk and a place to [...]

Crescent Lake Park, St Petersburg, Florida

July 14, 2008 – 11:07 am

I’ve always said: if it ain’t within walking distance of Euclid / St Paul’s neighborhood, my mutt and I can live without it. Okay, I’ve never said that. But I might say that in the future, if I forget my brain tonic.
This is Crescent Lake Park in St Pete, which is within walking distance of [...]
