"I've missed our movie nights."

The Wonderful In-Between World of Chinglish

The New York Times has a brilliant article and slide show about the many wonderful phrases that at times emerge when Chinese is translated to English. Here are a few illustrations to accompany some of the very poetic results.

The Little Grass is Sleeping. Do Not Disturb It.

Slip and Fall Down Carefully

Inventions that should be

"Check out this new heartbeat app!"

Graceful Jellies

I'll get back to stories soon... but here are a few drawings from the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Even if you don't live in CA, they have a ton of webcams that help you 'pop over' whenever you need a fix of penguin, sea otter, the kelp forrest or more!

Crime or Punishment?

I did the cartoon above for Columbia's BWOG this Sunday on 'Crime & Punishment' the book that all students read must read as part of the 'core' or general required class.

And then I did the following sketch based on the idea if there were a Crime or Punishment

board game. Retro-style to what Electronic Arts is doing and just the kind of thing for masochists & neophyte burglars.

The very talented Professor Gulati

Here's a drawing I did for Columbia's Blue & White Magazine. The article was about Sunil Gulati, who is a (very popular) lecturer in Economics at Columbia University and is President of the US Soccer Federation. The picture will be printed in the 'Mapril' Blue & White.

The Hair Iron

This is my hair. It's from Texas even though I'm from Ohio.

So I bought this. One cord, two ceramic heaters, and all anti-frizz.

This was what my hair should have looked like post-intervention.

This is how it turned out.

It's not all bad, I guess.

Next week I'm auditioning as an extra in The Lion King.

They said I was a natural.
