What’s that peeking out through the mist? Why, could it be my new book FOG!? Adapted from Carl Sandburg’s classic poem, my latest book follows the trail of a mischievous cat as he scampers across San Francisco, covering the city in its famous fog 🌁 Preorder Fog now wherever books are sold!

There’s nothing more obnoxious than when people celebrate being an asshole or “just saying what everyone’s thinking” Yeah, dude, most people have edgy thoughts, and learn to keep them inside. It’s called control. What you’re doing is like being really proud of constantly shitting yourself.

Salute to the headbanger kid in my 8th grade art class who one day quietly said that the best guitarist in the world wasn’t Jimi Hendrix, Eddie Van Halen, Randy Rhoads, or Jimmy Page. It was, in fact, he insisted, George Benson. We didn’t know what to do with this information but he was resolute.

I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.

I am an AI hater. This is considered rude, but I do not care, because I am a hater.

Recently a non-profit that runs creative writing programs for kids asked me to illustrate a book of students’ short stories. The best part was having to base my illustration on a title the kids invented. So what choice did I have for “The Awesome Adventures”? #illustration #picturebook #heavymetal

Alas, poor Larry! I knew the bald, four-eyed @#$%. After 24 years of cursing and discomfort, the final episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm aired last Sunday. I dunno why the story of a misanthrope who is terrible in social situations really speaks to me, but the show is one of my all-time favorites.
