My older daughter and I stayed up until midnight doing still life drawing on the kitchen table. A horse and a weird little ceramic thing. My horse turned out pretty good but I Liefelded two of the hooves off the page. How embarrassing! Pretty crazy party scene, in short! Belle and the younger one went to bed early.
I think Bryan Lee O’Malley, the author of all those great Scott Pilgrim comics, is a pretty good musician. So remember, kids, in the new year “Don’t Let the Archons Get You Down”. Hope his next book, Seconds, turns out to be really good.

What if it was a painting of an inanimate model of a horse?
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I never heard of Brian O’Malley before, and it’s only 4 p.m. here, but you know what?
Happy New Year anyway!
May we all find the beauty of the world around us, and in us.

And so now I come to praise Roy. Well said.
May 2014 be a year of prosperity and contentment to all at CT, which, as Obama rather cheesily said of Mandela quoting Jack Nicholson, makes me a better man. Well, at least a more thoughtful one.
Happy New year.

“I hate to pick a nit but a picture of a horse is not a still life.”
Ah yes, it is if it’s a picture of a stylized Chinese statue of a horse. Isn’t it?

I was trying to put my finger on who he sounds like and Belle pointed out to me that it’s the Wilco guy, Jeff Tweedy. His stuff all sounds like Wilco outtakes. That’s good!

Mandela would definitely have been a better man if he had quoted Jack Nicholson more often.
