I was left to draw after the party hence the horrid anatomy.


The morning Shasta left for Portugal, I stole her bike. Then ate breakfast at the cafe she'd shown me in Little Italy. This is for you girl! ;)


Jude's friend shared this idiom with me today. He said it was second wave feminist slogan from the 70s. He felt that this was a bad comparison, that the distance was too exagerated. I suggested that the feminists who coined the phrase were looking at gender as a binary. "There is no gender" is a flawed statement because it invalidates the transgendered. blah, blah, gender spectrum! I like the imagery regardless.

"Grind salt, and grind both good and fast."

Well, the quern began to grind salt so that it poured out like water; and when the skipper had got the ship full, he wished to stop the quern, but whichever way he turned it, and however much he tried, it was no good; the quern kept grinding on, and the heap of salt grew higher and higher, and at last down sunk the ship.

There lies the quern at the bottom of the sea, and grinds away at this very day, and that's why the sea is salt.

Girls in the Park

I saw "The Kids are Alright" at the Bytowne yesterday, beside it was a used bookstore. I grabbed a pile of comics for $1 each, and showed my drawings to the owners. One of the gentlemen recognized the quotes in it. They suggested that I draw comics to Emile Cioran's "The Trouble With Being Born." I've been trying to track down a copy online. Until then, I'll use short quotes available online.


Alternate subtitles because my gay is highly infectious, I sneezed on the page and the girls fell in love. Sometimes these things just happen.

Text reads: "A slut is a person of any gender who has the courage to lead life according to the radica proposition that sex is nice and pleasure is good for you."
"It stil strikes me as strange that anyone could have any moral objection to someone else;s sexuality. It's like telling someone else how to clean thier house."

Work in Progress

These don't scan well at all. I'm drawing on tracing paper, and smudging it up. I'm editing these in windows picture editor (ew).





Hi, Ho, Hi, Ho...

This is the rough draft of a piece on the gender binary.
Chained into heels, the woman in put on a pedestal.
