Whenever a bunch of cartoonists get together, they are going to make a bunch of jam comics. This weekend’s SF Zinefest was no exception. Kraig Rasmussen, movie buff and fellow Cartoonist Conspirator, just sent me a scan of a “poo” themed jam comic he started. See if you can guess which artist did what:
I was [...]
I spent the weekend with other artists, craftsters, and zinesters at yet another SF Zinefest. This years Zinefest was in Golden Gate Park and I would say most folks involved would probably consider it a successful event. I came within $30 of my $200 sales goal and actually managed to keep my spending low too. [...]
I saw my first can of Organic Batter Blaster, the pancake mix in a can, a few months ago at an “Ask Dr. Hal” show. Chicken John was whiping up pancakes with them, but I have to admit I was too scared to try one. There’s something about the Cheez Whiz can and name, which [...]
Have you seen the advertising for Disney’s new Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian? It’s hard to miss, especially in our neighborhood. Movie banners are everywhere, including on the sides of MUNI buses.
I love the unfortunate awesome placement of one of the buses yellow reflectors over Prince Caspian’s face. Imagine this evil eye blinking on [...]
For as long as I’ve been a San Francisco resident, I’ve been infatuated with the ominous structure on the corner of Mission and 15th St. Resembling a Moorish Castle, San Francisco’s Armory is important piece of the cities history. Built in 1912, as a replacement for another armory that was destroyed in the 1906 earthquake, [...]
For my birthday, Shannon and her aunt bought me a gift certificate to The Barber Lounge, a fancy pants salon/spa in the SoMa. The $55 pedicure was pricier than our typical $20 spas, but the place was awesome and they did a great job. My foot stylist, Hoang, was delighted when I told him [...]
The City Hall of Palo Alto was recently mosaicked with photographs of nearly 18,000 of the cities homes. According to the Palo Alto Daily News, Samuel Yates spent 6 and a half years documenting Palo Alto’s neighborhoods in order to determine Palo Alto’s dominant color.
In the pictures above you can see a close up of [...]
There is a four alarm fire a few doors down from my apartment on Valencia Street (between 26th & 25th). When I was taking these photos it was hard to tell exactly how close our apartment was to the fire which was still fully raging (especially on alley side), but it looks like the SFFD [...]
This morning I was surfing some international yo-yo blogs when I stumbled upon this video I made with Alexander Maness from Current TV.
Alex came to Chico last year and followed me around as I told him about our humble sport. I hadn’t heard anything since the trip, so I just figured the whole documentary got [...]
This year for Valentine’s Day, I bought a card that is in the shape of a cereal box. Considering the high price of cards, I was surprised that this giant card was only $3. I decided to use the cereal box as a gift box too, here was my process;
I started with a box of [...]
