How Different Are Dogfighting and Football?

This was an editorial assignment on an article entitled OFFENSIVE PLAY and examines the injuries that football players endure, namely brain damage and how those injuiries are often overlooked, as they are in dogfights.

Collage with Corbel

Alain Corbel is my Collage instructor. I like him and his class.

Sometimes I really don't understand what he's saying, but I guess sometimes I don't really understand what anyone is saying.

Here is some stuff (namely a melancholic girl, a monkey, and a man with allergies):

The Dagger by Nikos Kavvadas

Nikos wrote a poem about a dagger with some bad juju living in it. In collage class we had to do an illustration for it, and so this is what I came up with.

I looked at the Stinky Cheeseman a lot while making this piece.

China Story #2:

When we were in Lijiang, China in the Yunnan province there was an old man carrying groceries walking down the road. He was about to cross the small wooden bridge when two stray dogs met up on the bridge and started starting shit with each other. The old man looked at them and then furrowed his eyebrows and grew a large frown. He started yelling stuff like "Scram!" in Chinese. The dogs paid no heed. So the old man, with his armful of vegetables kicked the closer dog square in the gut and sent it flying into the neighboring vegetable garden. "Stupid dog! I told you to move didn't I !?" And he crossed the bridge and vanished into one of the small side streets.

Picture Pending...

RECENTLY:

My mind has been a mess of violence and food.

I just want to skin somebody and then eat a cheeseburger.

Here's some stuff:

I love the snow! It is much better than all the classes that my instructors decided not to cancel.

The Truths and Myths of GUNS

An illustration for an article debunking the common misconceptions of guns and gun control laws.

Yes this was an assignment.

No I am not in heat.

International Affairs I.S.*

Something I've been working on for the Office of International Affairs at MICA ( a part of my duties as an *indentured servant to them).

Basically, there are a lot of countries you can visit through MICA.

I might not be done with it yet- I'm still thinking.

China: Land of Lots of Chinese People and Chinese Things

Greetings:

So I've been in China and Taiwan for the past couple of weeks.

I went with my sister, Elaine and my mother. You may or may not know them.

Anyhow, I'll post up a few pages from a sketchbook I started while I was abroad and also 3 spreads from my zine Ursus Majorsys.

I will tell you about the many tales I have brought back with me from Asia, but not now.

Here is a primer:

There are many, many, many stray dogs in China. I bet that you could build a whole entire second Great Wall of China using only stray dogs and mortar in which case it would probably be named the Great Dogwall of China or "Chang Go Cheng" in Mandarin. In fact, there are so many dogs (specifically in the Yunnan province) that they make tote bags out of them.

Taiwanese trees and the girl-figure I stole from one of Vincent Hui's paintings:

Ursus Majorsys

But I really do have lots of stories. So come back lots of times to hear all of them.

Thanks!
