Scott... it's like a neighbor kid's baseball that's ended up on your lawn. But with smart telephone devices :D

So. July 1st. Foie Gras ban in California goes into effect. I'm hosting a 'foie gras day'- encouraging people to enjoy foie on that day as a "go stuff yourself" to California lawmakers. And maybe getting a little fat goose or duck tattoo. :D

Some decent casting in this so far.

Wes Anderson is love him or hate him. I fall in the 'love' category. Moonrise Kingdom was sweet. The usual Anderson touches (kids in animal costumes, running away for adventure) are either cliche or trademark (I fall in the trademark category) depending on how you view it. So cute.

See it in 3D. Scott's use of it is one of the best examples of why it's viable and not a gimmick. Added to the film. That said... I didn't LOVE the film like I thought I would. But it was PRETTY.

I think I'm going to do the Bob Shaw one next.

It was Vol 1, No 1. Gal with a big turtle on her back, I think by Bill Hannong.

I made spicy tuna the other day and used the leftovers as deviled egg filling (no yolk). Really tasty!

I'm going to start an OV thread because I'm way too lazy to mention things in specific threads. Sooo. Today I posted a digitized version of a huge interview that Jonathan Shaw did with Col. William Todd in ITA 1/1 in 1992. Mr. Shaw gave me permission to digitize all the interviews that he did for ITA- takes forever (OCR for the win) but TOTALLY worth it. Here's the first one: Jonathan Shaw Interviews: Col. William L. Todd « Occult Vibrations SO MUCH good stuff in this interview.

So... they're still casting "human canvases" for season two. I just saw a solicitation asking for people willing to get "hand, face, head" tattoos, as well as women willing to get pubic area tattoos. I weep.

I won't even get in to what happened after I showed Roy Cooper my Tiger collection.

I went to the gym today. Bad idea. CRAAAAZY fluid retention around my knee. Haha. I look elephantmanny.

ASL?

remind me to find the thumbnail for you. You'll marvel at it's brilliance.

One of the things I dig about Bink's work is that it's simple. It's designed to look that way when you're 80. He's not going over every line five times, putting in details that won't hold. Just cuts to the core of the image, filters it through his aesthetic and knocks it out. They're certainly not for everyone, and I hold no ill will to people who don't dig it. But for me- that bold, simple folk style tattooing? No one working does it like he does. (thankfully, they all do it like they do, which is great, too!)

New York is so damn close to Philly.

Off topic, but I bet the kids in his elementary school tortured the hell out of him with that last name. They say bullying builds character.

Went in for outlines. Came out happy. You get more than a tattoo from Robert Ryan, that's for sure.

I don't mind the intensity. Just the cliche.

I was going to tell them about the time that Owen Jensen stole all of my flash and put his name on it. Dammit.

I think they was a spammer! Damn spammers.

Did you guys see that tattoo Paul Booth did of the demon with the maggots? Yeah. Me too.

I dont really care what this thread is about. I like this picture. Like in a pervy way. yes.

I'd hate it if someone mailed me those mp3s. I mean really. Just hate it.
