  My Hare Krishna Costume. High School 198x. I had no idea a photo of this existed, let alone that I’d see it. This rather culturally insensitive costume of a “Hare Krishna” I did one Halloween and wore to high school. Note the orange linen fabric I had to buy (and which now is part of a blanket Leah made if I remember...

  Buster Holmes Seeing a friend “checking in” on Facebook to New Orleans reminded me of just how much New Orleans means to me. We lived there for a few years when I was a kid. I went to several Mardi Gras. Including one during which I got lost and was found by National Guardsman. I was 11....

  That time Greenpeace scaled ARCO HQ in Downtown L.A. Sometimes the world intervenes in your life in such a way that tells you “stop working for these people.” The most notable time for me was when I was working for ARCO, the large petroleum and gas company. You may know them from their AM/PM mini marts. In 1997 I was working as a temp...

  Father’s Day, 2014. I posted this to Facebook and not here last year. But it’s worth reposting. Originally from June 15, 2014. i posted it with this photo. This week I got to see 2001: a space odyssey on a big screen for a third time. I got to see Kier Dullea in person talk about having worked...

  Reflecting on myself, August 2014. Back in August I made this image of myself from different eras. It was fun to put it together. It showcases my various haircuts and facial hair. Top Left A driver’s license photo from the mid 1990s. I arrived in California to try to get into movies. I cultivated long hair and a bushy beard....

  Pants: Shoplifting Pants that are too big are good for holding a sealed beverage. Useful for my cold green tea. Shoplifting also somewhat more feasible. Though I’ve not shoplifted since I was 11 and living in New Orleans. Two times: both from a drugstore on my way to Christ the King Catholic School. First time: Baby Ruth...

  I had a shake… My good, good friend Chris reminded me in email today of the incident in about 1986 or 87 where we had gotten E-Z-OUT burger and were parked in the Clairemont DMV parking lot. It was late at night, I’m not sure how late. But SDPD came by and basically detained us… Chris’s memory is: (Officer:...

  UXCampDC 2011 and memory. In January of 2011, more than a year ago now, I attended UXCampDC at the German Cultural Center, just a mile from The White House. Me and my family were still pretty raw from my Mom’s death in October, but it was great to get out and do something. My sister drove me to the...

  Oh, it’s Getter Poseidon! In 1982 I drew this: I’ve been thinking a lot about the various Jumbo Machinder I was exposed to in the Philippines. And one, with a stout body and a jetpack keeps coming back to my mind. I believe when I was 9 years old I had a vinyl toy. It’s bothered me that I...

  Focus!!! Give Thanks I asked Leah to take this one back in March. We’d moved out here. We had gone out to Ray at Night. That’s where it was taken. It’s a close up photo of the workbench of an artist. I think it’s at the very southeastern corner of Ray street. It’s a little directed-at-him-or-herself graffito to,...

  First Model in Decades. First model I’ve made in decades. ツーフユリー FB.11 That’s a Hawker Sea Fury there, from a kit I got at a local Japanese store. Impulse buy. I bought the Testor’s glue and everything. Sadly, the glass for canopy got lost. I’ve been thinking I want to improvise a glass canopy. I loved making models when...

  Central California has some real beauty. Leah and I, as well as the 3 boys drove north to from Moorpark to Burlingame. It’s near the San Francisco Airport. It’s pretty here, but cold. Cold enough for me to look up a quote by Mark Twain. Sadly, the quote is not a true one. Mark Twain never said, “The coldest winter I...

  I cried when these people died. Which is to say, I cried when the following people who I never met in my life died. I’ve been thinking about this for about a week and this is my list: Stanley Kubrick. Andy Warhol. It’s a shorter list than I would have thought. I can’t remember specifically crying when any politicians died. For...

  Notebook Cover, 1985 YET. ANOTHER. COVER. From High School. The kid in the uniform is called “The Punk” and I have a few drawings of him. Not particularly interesting in retrospect. The backstory for The Punk was something rather like Kick-Ass. Basically, a teenage kid, trying to be a “realistic” superhero. No powers, some cool gadgets. In some...
