Cats and food are a combustible combination. If you have a cat but no food – you have trouble with the cat. If you have food but not a cat – the cat will come to fill the need of a cat next to food. Cats and food are an odd pairing that always seems […]
If you’re subscribed to my art substack you already got this letter from me, but I’m also posting it here just in case you need it: This is a stressful week for a lot of us and that’s probably why this came out of me when I turned off the world and stopped to draw…Continue […]
Most people have had fantasies of enacting some sweet vengeance on their landlords. Let’s be honest: most of the time, that revenge would be earned. Whether it’s raising your rent to an unnecessary amount or ignoring your incessant requests to repair that leak in your ceiling, you could probably spend hours talking about all the […]
The days when an auteur with a vision could finance their masterpiece with credit cards and favors and make it all back by an order of magnitude are pretty much gone. Today, without a budget of at least $50 million, a movie is gonna be a piece of shit. You can’t get any good stars at that […]

This is how ridiculous you look trying to convince others of your gastrointestinal distress. No one is buying it and quite frankly the only reason you get away with it is that everyone […]
For some reason, both of our youngest wanted to watch Scream on Halloween separately. Even from the jump, it might not scare them, but there is a… cruelty in some of these older horror movies that must have been surprising even if it’s not jump-scare scary.

How hard could it be to write “Happy Birthday” on a cake? It’s not as easy as it seems, and that’s why we often pay professional bakeries the big bucks to handle that task for us. It’s easy to look at a cake design and feel confident that you can do it yourself. But once […]
