         <title>slate: the food issue</title>
         <description><![CDATA[slate is running a special series this week examining food and food culture, for which i got to prepare some tasty illustrations. i am a little sad that they didn't use an illustration for the article about <a href="http://www.slate.com/id/2219314/" target="_" >lard</a>, but really, it's probably for the best.
eat up, people.

         <title>draw fewer white people</title>
         <description><![CDATA[i find that when drawing people, i tend to default to white males, age 25-45. while i have absolutely no idea how this could happen, it's sometimes useful to acknowledge said ticks, crutches and habits with a note, or electrical shock. in this case, i am hoping that a note will be a sufficient reminder.

         <description><![CDATA[i was mucking about today with some ideas for new textures. slap some hand lettering underneath, and...

and... and...

well, its an idea. we'll see where this goes. on a semi-related note, anyone notice how all this social networking (i'm looking at you, twitter) has caused an uptick in spam? oh well, off to trade in my old unwanted gold jewelry for cash.

         <title>texas observer: rick perry&apos;s texas tea</title>
         <description><![CDATA[cover illustration for the texas observer. upset with the state of the union and the recession, "governor good hair" (texas governor rick perry), tea-partied and threatened secession. in an attempt to explain the situation, my personal texas advisor scoured the intertubes for some commentary to sum up texas politics:

<blockquote>Texas never wanted any government to begin with, so we've just consistently sent our least able, totally wacked-out people to do the job. As our beloved Molly Ivins once wrote, "In Texas, it's actually better if a candidate for office has a criminal record." (via <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/joe-cutbirth/rick-perry-should-stop-em_b_187520.html?show_comment_id=23175279#comment_23175279" target="_">huffington post</a>)</blockquote>

yeah, that sounds about right.
