Arkansas changes state seal

Here is the original version.

And here is the revised state seal.

Novercaphobia

Novercaphobia is fear of one's stepmother, which is encouraged in the fairy tales you've been fed since before you remember. Since 30 million children in the US alone currently live with a step-parent (more stats on stepfamilies here) and chances are very good they will grow up to be stepparents, you'd think maybe it was time to drop that particular stereotype, but it shows no sign of disappearing anytime soon.

Fake the Music: Slash Fiction

Submission number one for the Fake the Music Show opening Thursday, May 1.

By the way, before you go naming your band Slash Fiction you might want to google it. It doesn't mean what you think it does.

The Art Directors, a skirt made of vintage sleeping bag material, the scientific name for the Western Lowland Gorilla, and something I don't think anyone even uses anymore. All brought to you by Gord's Clam's* ("freshest clams in Alberta"!) in good old Catheter, AB.

Zoo Tuesday: Vulturine Guineafowl

I love this guy, looking all Dark Crystal as he does.
He's  pretty cranky and will attack your shoelaces if you cross him. Which in his world means "just trying to walk by".

Fun with Filters!

Working on a gigfauxster for the upcoming Fake the Music show at Looks Could Kill; in which Terry and Dean, my art directors, make a cameo appearance.

Tubby Dog Dinner

No, I didn't eat this. I save my stomach for the pure goodness of the Cap'n's Dog; a weiner smothered in peanut butter and jelly, topped with Cap'n Crunch. Now that's good eatin'!
