Www.MichaelDArthur.com I draw performers, I draw live and I make animations. Me, a pen and a piece of paper; that’ll do.

Kash Patel brings stupid to new heights by tweeting they have the guy when they don’t; Trump says to Kash, “hold my beer” as he goes live on FOX.

Brian Mitchell, Donald Fagen, Jay Collins, Steven Bernstein and Erik Lawrence playing the Helm Family Midnight Ramble, last night at Levon Helm Studios in Woodstock. A Pinch Me night of collaboration and commitment to the music.

It occurs to me that choosing to make Stephen Colbert a martyr might not have been the wisest decision considering his core beliefs.

Here’s a quick draw from my sketchbook of Superman. I’ve seen the movie twice now and really quite love it.

Just heard a radio DJ read from a band’s promo material that they have a “Radiant, Soul-Soaked Sound” and I have a new favorite, say-it-five-times-fast, warm up before public speaking events. Wish I could remember the name of the band.

Putting the “ream” in Supreme Court, even if it’s not really spelled like that and has no bearing on original intent.

I really would like to see them, and I bet it would be great—in ways both Meta and Being Here Now—but reading, in the New York Times, the notion that Oasis was ever in the business to “flatly reject nostalgia” made me spit out my English tea.

I made a video for #SuzanneVega ’s new song, Chambermaid. Feels surreal to say that, but it’s true. It gets even more surreal when you factor in the song being a meditation on #BobDylan and creativity and influences and…all the swirls of ideas… Anyways, here it is: www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJ5v...

For the first five minutes after I finish making an animated music video, I swear I never want to do another. Immediately after that time has passed—right at the 5:01 second mark—I am anxious to start a new one. Does this mean, I just finished a new one and five minutes has passed? Yes, it does.

Marie Antoinette’s apology video was better.

Sometimes, it seems the drawings appear like they were already there. That’s usually because the music is transcendent and carries the pen. That’s how it was last night at Levon Helm Studios during Mark Erelli’s set (with piano accompaniment from his son, Owen).

Turns out Kate Pierson’s vocals on Shiny Happy People has been a gateway drug for my ten year old and R.E.M.

Our new car came with a trial of Sirius XM Radio so I gave it a try today while I was driving around. It’s like listening to a mall.

Feels like the extent of corruption, illegality and blatant market manipulation we’re experiencing could only be possible without any regulation or oversight, so let’s not complain about how there isn’t a plan in place.

Making monkfish in lemon caper sauce for my wife and I, a home made tofu burger for my daughter and teriyaki pork for my son tonight for dinner, with noodles and steamed broccoli on the side. This isn’t a home, it’s a short order diner.
