Over the last few weeks, I have been kinda sparse around here. But it’s not because I completely forgot how to type suddenly. Rather, it’s because I am just doing a lot more artwork, mainly cartooning as evidenced by a cartoon I did (then decided against putting up on my personal site) to the […]
I stumbled on this video earlier this morning and impressed with the sheer magnitude of the blocks being moved. If creating huge installation work is something that you always wanted to try to do, this guy will show you how to do it.

Maybe it’s because Rembrandt and I share the same birthday, July 15, or because I […]
Being the inquisitive sort of person I am, I recently began researching how oil paints are made. Many of the “old masters” such as Rembrandt, Van Gogh, DaVinci all made their own paints. So, how hard could this process be?
