2016 - I did a lot of shit this year.
I am happy with where I am at and going.
Tho, 2016 sucked, I won't let it "trump" my joy from making this a "get shit done" year.
Ive been working on music videos lately, and I need to finish my cartoon!
And our first full length is coming out this coming year.
I am going to be in Texas for Christmas, and I am taking Jess, who I am dating. my partner identifies as a trans male satanist. Mom is going to love that. lol. Like I am tired of rocking the boat with my mom, she is super latina conservative christian.... lol, i just said super latina. Sounds like some kind of mexican super here who hands out justice with her magical bible. That would be a rad comic. I told Jess that we might have to not bring up satanism during the 5 days we are there. The crazy thing is, this is all new to me. I thought she was agnostic like me. I don't like religions period. I am glad it brings people up and inspires them, but that is what a strong community is all about. We need to be more accepting and come together as a group.
My lil satanist:
Blah I am ranting...
I am not looking too forward to Christmas....
Though, I always whine about it, and when I am with my family it is totally chill.
unless I get drunk and start going off on my personal beliefs and values.
Holy shit... am I the drunk uncle?
Nope, I am an only child now. Which is hard to get use too. I lost my brother a little over 5 years ago. (I know, such an abrupt segway) His death is something I am surprised I have dealt with at all. I am trying to push myself to make more art inspired by him. I have a story I am working on, where two brothers are separated by death, and then the deceased brother comes back as a spirit. Then they have a modern day odd couple type of interaction, and the living brother can go into the spirit world with his bro. There they turn into their Chinese zodiac signs to go on afterlife adventures. In our case he would be the Tiger and I would be a Boar.
I miss him everyday, his name was Stuart, he was a sweetheart lug of a perfect human being. At least with his compassion. His heart was super heavy. <3
Here is Stuart:
Handsome fella, runs in the family.
Man, I have a list of chores to do, but I am stuck in bed like... blehhhh. smoking out of my otto bong
I love it
I found it on instagram, go find it and get yourself one so we can be twinkies.
word up mutha fucka.
ninja style.
speaking of, I am going to load another bowl.
cookoo man!
ok, now I am super baked.

Some dude the other night called me a pretentious art snob at a drink n draw club i through here last tuesday. He was drunk and me and the owner kicked him out. But he sounds like a dude who gets kicked out of a lot of bars. You know why? because I use to get kicked out of bars all the fucking time. It was my forte. But now I try and have my shit together holmes. Seattle is different than other places too. Very respectful when it comes to the rights of others and not stepping over boundaries. Or, at least more so than Austin. Which is in texas, and we all know that texas has a hard time putting its hands around the issue of equality... race, sex, gender....blah....
I think the west coast should split.
that said, I love texas. All the family and the good people who still live there.
Most of my family on the white side thinks I am a crazy spoiled brat who can not take care of myself. And that Blows. Like, dude, just because I don't want to mold into your traditional world, doesn't mean I am crazy. That offends me. I have made so much progress. You should have seen me two years ago. Shit you should have seen me 10 years ago. Shit was cray. If that side of my family doesn't want to respect or understand me, then i don't care to talk to them anymore blah!!!
It think I am going to get some coffee and start working on something. Always find something to do, always push yourself, and always make something. Art is my strongest suit, so I wear it proudly.
I leave you with a flyer I did for a christmas party in my home town. <3 HAPPY HOLIDAZE
