It was foolish of them to bury bodies so close to the shore, all those graves washed up.

Home made desktop speakers
Made some speakers for my computer to replace the Advents which are
now under my desk. This is the second time I’ve remade these speakers
which started out as my dad’s rear channel for his surround sound
system, then were in my living room until my amp burned out, and now
they’re on my desk. I’ve kept the face the same, since the drivers are
glued in and I couldn’t get them out, so the challenge was to figure out
how to cobble together these enclosures out of oak flooring scraps from
my sister. I made the covers out of scrap pegboard with an old ‘used
car salesman’ jacket I had as the fabric. And they sound terrible. heh
heh, i’m joke

Radiation Men
One group making a reactor, one cleaning up one that
blew up, didn’t even think about that juxtaposition when I drawed it

Guitar Effect Pedals
Current lineup of guitar effect pedals, of which I made six. Effegy
delay I got used and desoldiered a trim pot inside and moved it to the
top - MXR chorus - Octavia with switch to toggle octave - Carcosa Fuzz
(my favorite fuzz) - my brother’s BOSS Hyper metal - Shin Ei Fuzz - BOSS
noise suppressor - Pitch Fork - OpAmp Big Muff (I don’t really get this
pedal, cool on bass though) - Modified Tube Screamer 808 (my favorite
overdrive) - BOSS HM-2 (My favorite distortion) - Klon Centaur
Overdrive.

The Judge.
The Judge. Toward the end of Cormac McCarthy’s Blood Meridian The Kid
dreams of The Judge and this is my extension of that otherworldly
counterpart to his mortal presence. I didn’t like the character when I
first read it because it just seemed like a hollow definition through
contrasting bullet points that didn’t actually add up to a character,
just attempted to appeared to. He is large - but dainty, he is
exceptionally intelligent - but very brutal, he is nude a lot - but
hairless, and he might be a Dæmon. It just felt like someone making a
D&D character to be the ultimate genius badass then not role playing
it well because the character was just a series of interesting sounding
stats and not a character. But on my second and third reading of the
book I felt less strongly about this, I don’t think my opinion on it
changed, but it stood out less than my first read. It is my favorite
Cormac McCarthy novel, so I was thinking about it a fair amount.

Klon Centaur Overdrive
I made a Klon Centaur from the General Guitar Gadgets kit, it wasn’t
the hardest wiring I’ve done, but it was the most wiring. It had a high
pitched whining when I first tried it and found it was the voltage
regulator IC, so I ordered 3 of the suggested replacements from Mouser
and they all work fine but I left in the balla ass 3 dollar one. It
sounds great, but at the moment I have a hair’s width preference for the
modified 808 I made.

Red and the Wolfe on sale!
Red and the Wolfe is on sale as part of
ComiXology Submit’s Small Press Horror Sale! The last time I did a
search for ‘red and the wolfe’ the pirated version came up before the
legitimate copy, but now is a great time to give me pocket change
instead of nothing!

The Lighthouse, double again
I don’t know how many times I drew this lighthouse when all the
coffee shop lobbies were closed, but this was the last one and I was
quite fatigued of it.

Girlface x Mirror
I saw this picture and really liked it so I
downloaded it to my desktop personal computer then transferred it via
Universal Serial Bus flash memory drive onto my laptop computer where it
sat for years until later I opened it in Photoshop Creative Suite 5 and
created a New Document along side it and proceeded to observe the
original photograph while painting my own version with the Photoshop
Brush Tool using brushes I made using the Brush Preset Creation Tool.
I’ve been doing a series of photoshop paintings without doing a pencil
sketch first just to see what it is like, it is fine.

Screaming Bear 808
Screaming Bear 808 I made from the modified GGG kit. He pointed out
that it is the botique circuit but at a fraction of the price because it
didn’t have a cool paint job so I thought I’d put that on too. This was
the third design I tried for the case, the rivet in the middle was from
another idea that I abandoned, and I ended up just scratching this
screaming bear onto it which I like much better.

Fuzz Pedal
New Fuzz pedal I just made. I made the enclosure before hearing it
and was delighted that it was as aggressive and gnarly as it looks.

Betty Bowen 2020
My submissions for this years Betty Bowen Award. I wrote a short essay for my artist’s statement last year, this year it’s just:
“I'm one of that strange breed that can't seem to do things normal people do because of an overwhelming preoccupation with creating art that garners mild attention.”

Space Geisha
The Space Geisha “Come now, this is the worst Space Geishing I’ve seen since Zarrthlaxx Seven. I haven’t had Space Sex this bad since I had my third penis reamputated.
I head the new Cyper Punk game lets you have as many genital combinations as you like and it reminded me of this drawing I did back in 2014 covering the subject of such bodily ambivalence. This is one of my favorite drawings of mine, I like the caught and ashamed look on the Space Geisha’s face, and that this guy couldn’t make up his mind if he wanted three penisusses or not and had it reamputated. Also he apparently has dyed his skin red.
