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.

Honored to be taking on illustration duties for @gardenandgun.com magazine’s beloved “Good Dog” column, starting with this year’s August/September issue! First up, an essay by Charles McNair about the power of storytelling and plagiarism starring America’s #1 childhood traumatizer, Old Yeller 🐶🔫

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.
