In 2019 I went through the Intensive Outpatient Program. If you've been a patron for a while, you've heard me repeat that a million times, but if you're new, well, there ya go, that's the context you need for this post. While I was going through the program, I took extensive notes partly because I'm a documentarian at heart and I knew this would make great comics material someday and ...

Matt fished a “splinter” out of the ball of my right foot. “Splinter” sounds so slim and sneaky, just a sliver, just a thin sharp wisp that pierced between the lines in your skin because it’s just that small and sharp and it’s almost impossible to see with your naked eye.
This was not a splinter. It was thick and dark and so so deep. I pulled out the top half a few ...

I am waiting for Tig, while she hunkers down by the gate in the corridor next to our house where we keep our garbage, recycle, and compost bins. We have a whole backyard of plants to explore but this is her favorite spot, which Matt and I have dubbed Stink Street. She turns into a very alert loaf and is clearly on the lookout for… something. Something important. Something that warrants her to hiss when I inevitably scoop her up, saying “Ok, Tig, you’ve had enough time here.” She’s n...

I went to my neighborhood Goodwill looking for photo-heavy books to harvest for future collages. People donate some fuckin’ nice-ass (formerly) expensive cook books and gardening books and art books and just, dang, big old books full of professionally shot photos that fill up entire pages without text on them. The original prices tend to start at $30 and only go up, but at Goodwill you can score them for $5 and cheaper. Good p...

Yesterday Matt and I spent a few hours hauling branches and raking plant trash with a handful of my studiomates. Wait, was it yesterday or the day before? My sunblock mixed with my sweat, coating my body in this slimy, slippery goo that was half repulsive, half fascinating to me. My flesh would smoosh together and I was like “ew!” and then “cool.” and then “ew” again.
