No, he isn’t.

It’s time to meet the puppets…

Kash Patel brings stupid to new heights by tweeting they have the guy when they don’t; Trump says to Kash, “hold my beer” as he goes live on FOX.

The drawing was ink, but I had quickly digitally lettered it in Procreate at a pretty low res when I sent it as an offhand idea… which only goes to show, the toss offs are sometimes the gems.

So we had to use the photo I shot that day and it ended up being quite perfect.

A few months went by & I didn’t think about it again. One day I got a message from the label asking for a hi res version and I had no idea what they were talking about. They sent me that photo and I realized I had never scanned it before finishing the drawing and using it in the video.

Funny story about that cover. I was working on a drawing for the video and snapped a picture of it in process, sent it to Carl and offhandedly texted, “this would be a good cover”, he thumbed up the message and months went by when I didn’t think about it again.

First time I’ve ever live drawn a song I did the cover and video for.

Brian Mitchell, Donald Fagen, Jay Collins, Steven Bernstein and Erik Lawrence playing the Helm Family Midnight Ramble, last night at Levon Helm Studios in Woodstock. A Pinch Me night of collaboration and commitment to the music.

I’ve heard Congress isn’t reconvening until Epstein is dead again.

The late night guys are speaking truth to glower.

It occurs to me that choosing to make Stephen Colbert a martyr might not have been the wisest decision considering his core beliefs. 

Here’s a quick draw from my sketchbook of Superman. I’ve seen the movie twice now and really quite love it.

Just heard a radio DJ read from a band’s promo material that they have a “Radiant, Soul-Soaked Sound” and I have a new favorite, say-it-five-times-fast, warm up before public speaking events. Wish I could remember the name of the band.

Rosie O’Donnel can move in with me.

Putting the “ream” in Supreme Court, even if it’s not really spelled like that and has no bearing on original intent.

Dean Haspiel’s Comix Block

This is part of our new center section featuring comics pages curated by Dean Haspiel from the neighborhood, Marc Jackson from England, and the rest of them, including two greats - Stan Mack and Michael Arthur.  This is the first of an ongoing committment to the comic…

I really would like to see them, and I bet it would be great—in ways both Meta and Being Here Now—but reading, in the New York Times, the notion that Oasis was ever in the business to “flatly reject nostalgia” made me spit out my English tea.

Weirdly relevant today.

Here’s a video for a song and it references the same jester influence…

Do the right thing: rank me #1, Zohran #2, and DON'T RANK ANDREW CUOMO.

Currently working on three commissions. Seems like the perfect time to completely reconfigure my workspace. #distractions

YouTube video by Suzanne Vega Suzanne Vega - Chambermaid (Official Animated Lyric Video)

I made a video for #SuzanneVega ’s new song, Chambermaid. Feels surreal to say that, but it’s true. It gets even more surreal when you factor in the song being a meditation on #BobDylan and creativity and influences and…all the swirls of ideas…
Anyways, here it is:
