Toasted Almond [Comic]
Posted February 4, 2013 at 12:00 am
Apologies to all desert fans, but I had this bit plotted out ahead of time.  Although, the desert question is kinda fun.  So I turn the question to you readers.  Where is your favorite desert? Why? And what three things would you want with you if you were stranded there (water and food don't count because we'll assume you magically get those).

I'm mostly recovered from Macworld.  I had a freaking blast.  If you missed our show, I'll hunt around their website to see if they recorded our Art Fight.  I think the second round was much better because Jamie and Dann did this whole connecting canvas thing which was really clever.

I also met Larry Fishman who is totally awesome and personable and willing to take an idiot wearing a monster hat seriously.  I could go on and on and on about him and if you ever ask me in person I probably will, but to make a long history short, he's kind of a big deal when it comes to MIDI guitar pickups.  He invented the divided pickup system that revolutionized MIDI guitar and has developed a new wireless system called the Tripleplay.  Fishman is also the top name in acoustic pickups for guitars and violins.  I was completely star struck.

KATSUCON 19


Next weekend is Katsucon 19.  I'll be there with Super Art Fight for some good times.  We'll be doing two shows, our regular art rumble and an Unleashed.  Unleashed is where we go crazy and draw all sorts of fucked up things.  Think of it as a visual version of The Aristocrats.

Um... that's it for now.  I kind of lied, I'm not really recovered from San Francisco.  Though I've been going to San Francisco at least once a year for most of my life, there's so much of the city that I haven't seen.  I know Russian Hill, China Town, and Japan Town like the back of my hand.  And everyone knows Pier 39.  There's a whole hell of a lot more to the city than that.  This year and last year, I got a little taste.  Someday, I've got to take a non-family vacation out there and just spend time exploring all the places that I have yet to see.  I'd live there if I could, so a good long visit is the next best thing.

This video is sort of a subtweet about some art twitter discourse. But I wanted to respond in video form rather than in written form so that you wouldn't misinterpret my words. Also not linking the discourse directly because I don't want to dogpile on the inspiration for my thoughts. But here are three ideas that I wanted to share with artists for us to keep in our brains as we go into the new year.
