Fucked At The Drive-Thru...Again!

Why is it that every time I go to Taco Bell no matter where it is they screw up my order at the drive-thru? I can go inside the very same Taco Bell and order at the counter and they get it right. Now I'm not proud to admit but I've served my time in the fast food industry and I can say without any doubt it is the easiest fucking job out there. How hard can it be? They put little pictures of the menu items right on the frigen ordering key pad. Not only that there are always more than one person working the drive-thru station, your trying to tell me that one out of the three or sometimes four people can't cypher between the picture of the hard taco and the soft Taco. Maybe I'm brilliant, or I just don't understand the modern day pressures of the fast food industry, but when I work there, there were no pictures on the key pad, just words. Idiots.

The Goon


I don't read much, but when I do read I likes my Graphic Novels. One of my favorite characters to read about is Eric Powell's "The Goon". The artwork is kicks ass and the stories are a cross between old school Gangster and sci-Fi stories. They're kind of like "Tales from the Crypt" type funny. I suggest you Check-em. www.thegoon.com

The poll has closed.

So the people have spoken! Well at least 19 people, which really surprises me that I have so many people reading my blog. Thanks! So I'm going to start showing more sketches and paintings. I'll still do some funny stuff and I promise I won't bore you with too many step-by-step things. And if I might say, It always makes me feel good that there are a fair amount of fellow non-opinionated Douche-Bags out there. So here are the poll results:

Paintings & Sketches
11 (57%)
Painting Step-by-steps

Funny Shit

2008 New Year's Resolutions

New Year's resolutions suck, and every year I say F-that shit. But this year I decided to come up with some and try to stick to them. Here they are:
  1. Be more constructive with my time.
  2. Not be such a slob, get my shit organized.
  3. Get back in shape.
  4. Of course world domination.
So far I've sucking wind with my first resolution. The plan was to go to bed early and get up at the ass-crack of dawn, so I can work on my paintings before going to work. But do to forces (Annie) out of my control and my ever lasting desire to sleep, the waking up part has been a disaster! Here I am week two, Monday and once again failed to rise and shine. I shall persevere.

As for resolutions 2-4 I've been working on all of them and making some headway. The manufacture of my evil army of subatomic nuclear robot killer slugs assures me that they will be shipped and arriving on time. We shall see...

Funny X-Rays












My 2008 Website Redesign

It seems like every year I redesign my site. I decided this year I wanted to go for a cleaner look. The reason why, because I wanted the focus of my visitors to be more on my art and less on the website. Plus it can be a real pain in the ass updating a site that is all full of the bells and whistles. Ya savvy? Below are some screen shots. One of my old home page and then one of my new home page.
Here is the old home page. And...
Here is the new look of my home page, and the rest of my site. Have a happy new year!

Possible Covers for "For The Shy One At The Orgy"



These are two drawings I've done, that I might be using for the cover of the graphic novel I'm working on with Adam Bulger. They have a long way to go before they are cover worthy.
