Shout out to my pops.

Growing up with an artist for a father is something I'm sorry I will impart on my own children. But if I turn out to be half the artist my dad is, and my kids half as remarkable as my brother then it may not be so bad. Check out his latest piece in today's Globe.

No apology needed. But it's about gat damn time.

The catholic church has begun to reform it's views on evolution. It's a positive sign when the ultra-religious, no matter what their faith begin to accept other views contrary to their own. If my peoples back in Israel and Palestine got some of this in the corn flakes I'd be sleeping a lot better and there would be a lot less dead people.

Fuck Sarah Palin

I've found in my endless perusal of the same ten websites while I don't clean my apartment or study that I really truly hate that pretty pugilistic pitbull. Shit like this makes me gag on my stale, salsa-less blue corn chips. All through the primaries I was shocked by Hilary Clinton's aggression towards Barack. I found her campaign tasteless and not in the best interests of the party, or our world. But, she's a smart lady and I agree with her 90% of the time (roughly the same percentage as she agreed with Obama in senate voting...). It really irks me that she isn't making a big stand against Palin. As a woman, isn't she embarrassed that this woman could be the first female president? Isn't that tantamount to Carrot Top being the first white-male president or Terrence from 106 & Park being the first black president? 

I bet Ms. Palin is a lovely woman to shoot shit with, the same way I bet that George W is a cool dude to smash a bottle of Jack and an 8 ball with. But this election is turning on a woman who  four years ago had aspirations of being a tv anchor in Wasilla, Alaska... dont worry, I don't know where the fuck that is either. 

Hilary, if you still want this to be a better world. Speak to your 18 Million. They'll listen to you. There's still a lot you can do. And there's more good news, after Barack wins and makes this a better world you'll be top of the list for 2016. 

The Terminator Doesn't Front.

This just goes to show the sort of decisions that are paving the way for our generation to not have to wear gas-masks in twenty years. 2030 is a long ways away, but not long enough to fathom the sort of effect these choices can/will have on us and our kids.

It's Not A Race It's A Movement

Trying to turn two cents into four...for now.

WoodBlock has been born from a community where the defining factor of a person is not their skin colour, economic status or how ill their shoes are (doesn't hurt though). Decapitations occurred on woodblocks back in the day. These people, guilty or innocent, had their heads covered, they couldn't see.  It isn't our place to judge innocence or guilt, but hopefully keep as many eyes open as possible.
 The political climate in our world now tries to blind as many people as possible. Through design and expression, here's hoping my two cents can keep at least two more eyes open and paying attention.

Keep Watching.
