We went to Woodstock IL this past weekend for Groundhog Day and I got Stephen Tobolowsky (who played Ned Ryerson in the film) to sign our poster from Deadly Prey Gallery! Art by C.A. Wisely.

The Urban Fossil Hunter’s Guide to the Mississippian. I made this last year with my friend Asa Kaplan, who provided the paleontology expertise. We led an urban fossil walk with a group of all ages around the Bevo Mill neighborhood of St. Louis and used the zine to identify lots of fossils.

These are all gorgeous!!! Very aesthetically pleasing and informative. Well done.

Just before Christmas, I got a puppy. Her name is Minerva, and we call her *Minnie. I'm still learning how to understand her. Me: Do you need to go outside? Do you need to go outside, little baby? Do you need to do a poo? Do you need to do a widdle piddle? Minnie: Arf! *I just call her "little baby" most of the time. I'm also realizing I can't turn off the baby talk now. Nobody tells you about that.

I got so lucky with my first puppy. Her wonderful foster parents had her completely house-trained by the time we adopted her, so taking her outside for potty time has been pretty easy. I've got the puppy poopy routine pretty much down, now. Me, putting on my coat: Let's see... I got the little poopy bags, puppy treats for bribes, jacket, scarf, phone… I think that's everything… Oh yes! And my passport.

I had been carrying around my passport for a while, but I knew it didn't matter. This is wrong. Nobody is required to carry around their papers. I became a US citizen when I was seven. Since I was born in a refugee camp, I was stateless. The US is the only nation where I've ever held citizenship. It's the only passport I've ever had, and it still felt important. Protective. I would hold it in my pocket like a talisman, like it might ward off ghosts or something. But I realized I was holding onto it basically out of superstition. ICE will pick up anybody. I know that. So I tucked my passport away. And I largely avoid leaving my house.

I live a few blocks just South of George Floyd Square. I was in the neighborhood for that, too. And all the neighbors came together to protect each other. We're already organized. We'll do our best to get through this. Me, to my dog: I hope I can take you for a walk someday soon. Won't that be nice, little baby?

Abolish ICE. A little journal comic from South Minneapolis.

Cheesy family Christmas photo. Always tricky to get the turtle, cat, and dog to all stay still this long.

Trilobite cheer and happy New Year!
Ink, watercolor, and digital. My favorite project I worked on in 2025 was the Urban Fossil Hunter’s Guide to the Mississippian, a sub period of the Carboniferous. I will post that later.

Yeah bigger company almost always equals a worse rent g experience. That sucks.

Good lord they sound incompetent

I hope they get back on for you soon!

As a fossil enthusiast from St. Louis MO, this is one of my favorite stories from the history of paleontology! The tall tales of Albert Koch of how it used its tusks to grip the river bottom crack me up.

I haven’t actually played it yet, partly because fear of time commitment, which is perhaps why being short/one pager might be a good approach.
