Come Together

it's that time again...third year in a row of this nonsense...pali kashi is gonna try to not vomit and pass out on my shoe this time...come cheer her on!

Mother Nature On The Run

i went to see neil young last night for the first time...an artist i have loved for more than half of my life...i finally coughed up 140 something to take meg to see the old man...since i never go to big rock shows i forget what turds most baby boomer rock fans are...during neils acoustic opener you could hear somebodies mom talk about how "A Man Needs A Maid" is her favorite song on "After The Gold Run"...not to mention some Becky doing the Phish dance to "Heart Of Gold", bear in mind we were all seated in the balcony of a church...classy...i yelled out "Mom you're embarressing me" and promptly got hit in the arm by meg...then during the intermission we tried to stand at the edge of the balcony to see the mish mash of stuff on the stage...the second the lights dimmed some tub of goo yells "ok back to your seats"...not an usher or an authority figure, just some dickhead who apparently needed a perfect view of crazy horse tuning...but the second the band went into "The Loner" i realized what i was seeing and how much i fucking love neils electric shit with the Horse...in short, i had a blast, boomers and all....oh, and im doing pet portraits now, so hit me up...holla.

Paris '68

so valentina is basically fighting the swine at viacom as we speak...this bud's for you my dear.

Working At The Docks

My Lucretia

NEW ENIDS SHIRTS!!!...proving once again that i will draw anything for money.

The Ones We'll Die To Please

this was supposed to be for Megans calender but i think i have to re-do it....so check out this early draft and get weirded out.

Can't Hardly Wait

got an iphone...i can't stop touching it...went to see american gangster last night...the girls loved it, they gasped when denzel got slapped by his mama...the guys all laughed at the serious parts...megans eye hurts today...hope she feels better...come say hi tomorrow at pizza party...my face will be illuminated by my crazy phone.

I'd Rather Not Get Involved

bloggety-blog-blog...gotta draw so much stuff in the coming weeks...i'll try to share as much as i can with the 4 of you who still look at this blog...as much as people try to ruin the smiths for everyone else by making it some private club for the jet set, i still love this shit...i'm not naming names...this blogs promotes the leaf, and the leaf promotes peace...later.

Honk If Yr Horny

britney's got no kids, oj is going to jail, isaiah is a pervert....what a state of turmoil...at least spector got off, but he totally did that shit...what's going on with you guys?...i'm bummed cuz sharpling had a fill in last night on the best show...that always ruins my wednesday...at least i'm going to an abondoned prison for my 30th birthday in a few weeks...can't beat that with a bat.

Hungry Eyes

Gossip Gurlz

i'm watching a movie about beatniks today...not a documentary but an exploitation film from the 50's...apparently people were afraid of these goofballs for smoking "tea" and dancing to "be-bop" or whatever crap those posers were into...you guys ever read those crappy beat books?, talk about the most overrated bunch of shit...i actually quoted Ginsberg in my senior yearbook, i still cringe when i see it...i guess we cant all be cool...at least i quoted born against too, but it barely cancels it out...later daddy-o.

Snow Blind

lookee lookee kids....these dudes are finally ready to hit the slopes...don't be a barney, order today!

Love In Vain

i went to lizzie bordens house over the weekend...well really her fathers house, thats the one he was murdered in...she inherited all his money and moved into a mansion across town...not a bad move i think...beforehand we ran into a guy who lived down the street who had found an axe hidden in some turn of the century cabinetry...he was convinced he had the murder weapon...maybe he did, who knows?...they never found a murder weapon by the way...anyway, we bought a stained glass axe that in now hanging in my kitchen window...so i'll never forget it.

Garden Weasel

still not blogging much...breaking in a new pair of birks!...happy birthday aurel!

The Weedian

i know this is like 2 weeks off but im a lazy man these days with the art blogging...the good news is that my yard is coming along great..thanks for asking...the willow that we bought to cover the chainlink fence looks amazing!...it is supposed to last up to 4 years!...we are now in talks to create a deck next!...and thanks to everyone who came to my saturday jamfest...i had a whole metal band in my yard and they were very polite and mindfull of my neighbors...don't judge those book covers people.

Stay Out Of My Yard

i'm a lazy blogger...it's true...i've kind of lost the will to do this much longer...but every once in a while i get a notion to write something...i read about a blogger who killed herself recently...she actually left a suicide note online...i then proceeded to read the blog in its entirety...here it is if you are curious...
http://theresalduncan.typepad.com/witostaircase/2007/week28/index.html

p.s. i just read that ingmer bergman died...he said he couldn't stand watching his own movies because they were so depressing...i think that's hilarious

1-800-I Quit

That Cats Something I Can't Explain

apartment hunting kids...you know i love it...i'm looking for a 1-2 bedroom in the williamburg/greenpoint vicinity for $2000 or less...preferably less obvs...big windows, patio/deck, outdoor areas, and pools would be sweet, but not a must...let me know if you got any leads at:

The End

montauk was a beauty...very laid back indeed...not as classy as the rest of the hamptons but neither am i...saw a dead deer on someones lawn, looked like some photo you'd see in the MoMa...on that note, the art game is giving me fits today...think its gonna be cool though.

An Open Letter To The Porno Stars That Won't Stop Trying To Be Myspace Buddies

seriously....Tricia...stop trying to be my friend...i know it could lead to something magical like an iPhone...but i just don't think we really have that much in common...plus, im spoken for...i have some single friends though...they are a little needy and prone to weeping uncontrollably, but i'm sure you could handle that...glad thats out of the way...i'm gonna post some drawings i did for vice that they printed so small in the magazine that no one could even tell that i did them...the things i do to reach the right demographic.

Next Time You Send Me A Funny Internet Video

don't bother....this is the funniest thing ever.

Amish Forgiveness

Been a long time since i rock n rolled...hope you didn't forget me...got some neat things coming up that you will all like...like getting engaged to my fave person in the world and djing all your favorite class reunion songs...reading "Shakey" at the moment...didn't know neil had polio...explains a bit...new orleans is still the coolest place in the world...the "mad max" aspect gets to you after a while though...we tried to take a nap in the cemetery...didn't work out though...i think being in a moselium would be better than a coffin any day.

Major Briggs

ok so right off the bat lemme explain the origins of this image...josh from vietnam asked me to draw a shirt for them that was alot more offensive and gruesomer than this...he wanted blood and dead bodies, you get the picture...so i start to draw it and i find out through management that this will never fly...seing as they are on tour with some band teenagers love, the idea gets nixed...josh tells jayson from panthers and jayson offers to make stickers with his own funds...i know it's lame cuz it's josh's idea and all...i justify it because vietnam snaked a hippy slimer i drew from blood on the wall and never paid me for it...am i being a jerk?...only time will tell...but i believe in giving credit where it is due, mainly because i would never draw this on my own...p.s. got tickets to Dr.Dog tonight!!!!!..can't hardley wait like seth green.

ELO Kiddies

this just got sent to the printers to be a t-shirt...hold on to yr horses kids...went record shopping today in the west village...can somebody get "bleeker bob" on the horn and inform him that NO ONE is gonna pay 10 dollars for a vinyl copy of Fleetwood Mac "Rumours"...jesus, whats the deal?...got "Lido Shuffle" for a dollar...'nuff said.
