And Now For Your 6.1 Hours Of Zen...

and now for my moment of zen...

the beast

i found this on a blog concerning the "great apostasy" of the american people, as foretold in the scriptures of blah blah blah. basically it's a rad collage of the beast (who appears to be dressed as an 18th century american statesman with some kind of zohar-illuminatis pyramid attached to his forehead) holding uncle sam, douglas macarthur, and a naval officer on strings and leading them after a dinosaur-headed chimera around which is orbiting a fiery psychedelic planet earth.

if this is what happens when we americans have strayed from the flock en masse, i'm all in.

beasts! book two

the votes have been tallied, and the voices heard, and my painting was not accepted for the fantagraphics beasts! book two open call. this is okay, although kind of a bum-out. but! what's real cool is that someone set up a flickr pool for contestants to post their non-winning submissions. it is worth checking out. there is some good stuff to look at. i would recommend it.
