Firefly fornication

Is it worth devoting one’s life to researching fireflies’ mating patterns to be able to say puns such as “Nobody knew what happened after the lights went out?” I’ll ponder this for a day and let you know my answer tomorrow. Thank you New York Times for, once again, making me think about something other than porn and beer.

And thank you Dr. Lewis for your inspiration.  Below is the sketch I drew to be the cover of your next book.  I hope you like.

I got it from my mama

I have recently found an intimate connection with will.i.am’s “I got it from my mama,” the hit single on his 2007 album “Songs About Girls.”  About me? I’m a girl! Maybe that explains the connection. Or I forgot to release the “mute” button.  Either way, a brilliant lyricist and inspiration to us all, will.i.am’s tune asks, “baby, where’d you get that body from? Tell me, where’d you get that body from?”  Its a bit more complex than will.i.am makes it out to be and I can only blame a poorly funded primary and secondary public education system in Brazil for spitting out generations of beach babes who think they were delivered via storkes.  Nonetheless, it makes for catchy song: far more important than accuracy of information.  Even I thought about throwing on a bikini and dancing on the beach called my rooftop in Jersey City.  Hot. And smoggy.

I wanted to take the song deeper, if thats at all possible, by reflecting on my physical features, talents, and personality traits that are in the likes of my mama.  We are both tall.  We both like antiques.  We write in a similar fashion.  And then I had it. I know what it is. What all the guys were asking me in Toledo during high school with my awkward smile, my out of proportion flannel-wearing body and my mad Risk and Magic the Gathering skillz.  The one thing, among many, that made them think “oh, maybe at our fifteen-year reunion I’ll ask her out if I’m not already married. Please god be married by then.”

Any producer who wants it, its yours.  I won’t even collect royalties on it.  Just doing it for the people, out of the goodness of my heart.

Hate followed by endless joy!

I needed something a bit light hearted after that last sketch.

To all New Yorkers

Ok kids.  This is a long one.  It may offend the elders and be inappropriate for the minors; I shall not be held responsible for either.  Everyone in between, we can duke it out via email.

Daily? Yea, kind of.

My current living situation makes for the daily scanning of sketches quite difficult.  Paying $2 each day at Kinkos seems absurd.  Thus, while I will manage to produce a drawing each day, you the viewer will have to wait every few days or so for an update.  The good news is it will be an explosion of creative eyecandy (or skid marks) when I do update.  Joy!
