BUNKO FAN ART WOO HOO!!! So our good friend Ele drew this amazing portrait of my wife Vicki’s alter-ego, Bunko the Brave. What I find to be most amazing is Ele’s attention to detail, namely the inclusion of Bunko’s trusty Etch-A-Sketch, upon which Bunko likes to draw naughty pictures. Oh, and who could ever forget cute little Rigby, he looks so adorable in his little basket. However, do not be fooled as looks can be quite deceiving… if you’re up to no good he’ll nibble on your knee caps!!! Anyway, the amazing Ele has a few tumblrs that you should definitely check out. First is the aptly named I Will Not Hang Myself Today, and the second is Nine Black Cats. Check em’ both out, you won’t regret it. nineblackcats: Bunko the Brave is my favourite superhero… or is she really a supervillain? Either way this doesn’t look awfully much like her, but I’m getting a little better at drawing people each time. High-res

MY JOURNAL ENTRY OF THE WEEK - “BURLY BEARDED BOY” I liked this one best because it’s the first collage I’ve probably made since I constructed Optimus Prime out of macaroni and buttons in Kindergarten. In case you can’t tell, the boy’s beard is composed of forty-seven carefully placed colored pencil shavings of various widths and colors. My final step was to stick a big ol’ piece of tape over em’ to keep em’ all in place. Also, I like that I accomplished my goal of “buying a thing from a guy”. my daily journal thing High-res

DON’T “F” WITH GEOFF This one time my friend Geoff was about to bite into his Auntie Anne’s soft pretzel when some surfer dude in flip flops appeared out of nowhere and stole it! As is often the case in such situations, Geoff calmly removed his shirt, jumped onto his moped, chased down the surfer dude, and ripped off his leg!!! The moral of this story… DON’T F WITH GEOFF!!!

MY JOURNAL ENTRY OF THE WEEK - POLAR-oid BEAR I liked this one best because… a. it has a baby polar bear and a rainbow!!! b. it has a baby polar bear and a rainbow!!! c. it has a baby polar bear and a rainbow!!! d. all of the above. Answer: “D” Behind-the-scenes: I couldn’t find my pencil sharpener last night, so in order to complete this drawing I had to risk my life several times by using Vicki’s biggest kitchen knife to sharpen my colored pencils. P.S. Please don’t tell Vicki that I used her biggest kitchen knife, she’d KILL me, I’m DEAD serious. Vicki is very protective of two things in this world, one being her knives, the other being the stuffed baby penguin I got her for Christmas in 2005. P.S. #2 Don’t tell Vicki this, but if winter rolls around and she tries to once again steal my cozy winter cap, I’m gonna murder that stuffed baby penguin with her biggest kitchen knife.

MY IPHONE SHOT OF THE WEEK - LEANING TOWER OF CRATES If this stack of gravity defying crates was moved to a gallery space at the MOMA it’d probably sell for a million bucks at Sotheby’s. I’m not sure if that’s a good or a bad thing, but it’s definitely some sort of thing that makes me wonder about what the hell makes something art, and who should get the credit. This is blowing my mind a little bit. I mean, I took this photo, but I’m definitely not the artist, that title belongs to whoever set up this awesome gravity defying stack of crates. But what’s crazy is that the person who set up these crates probably did so with no intent of creating “art”, but rather “trash”. I wonder how many regular folks have never gotten credit for their incredible temporary art installations. Anyway, here’s a few more pictures of this most wonderful piece (artist unknown)… If you’d like to see more of my daily iphone photos documenting other people’s inadvertent “street art” click here.
