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!

Love Letter Cat

This cat was drawn for my 7th grade Biology Class teacher, Mr. Ng. 

Mr. Ng, If you are reading this, I drew this cat for you because you asked me to draw you a cat 3 months ago. I am sorry it is a little late.

Philadelphia and Providence and Being Alone At a Hotel

Over Thanksgiving break I participated in many occasions, both social and solo.

One such occasion was this: On my way back from Providence I was in the airport when a U.S. Airways employee at the desk of gate F8 announced over the intercom:

"Flight 5002 has been overbooked. We are now looking for volunteers to trade their seats on this flight for a guaranteed seat on a later flight. Additionally, volunteers will receive flight vouchers good towards any future flight at the amount of $2oo. Please see the desk for more information."

So I thought to myself, "I guess I'll do it. I've got time to spare."

So I did it. I sat and waited for the next flight and held my voucher happily. When the next flight arrived, the lady at the desk announced the exact same situation. What did I do? What any sensible asian would! I took the deal again and obtained another voucher! $400 dollars in vouchers!

"Oh. Wait... It looks like there won't be any flights until tomorrow morning..."

"... Okay, so I should just wait-"

"Let me ring up a hotel voucher for you, Mr.Wang."

"Oh."

An hour later I was sitting pantsless in an extra-large king size bed in a two and a half star Philadelphia hotel watching Cinderella Man.

I ended up watching that movie 3 times and Gladiator 2 times.

The following pieces were inspired during Thanksgiving week (save for the Closer poster):

This is the cover to a zine I finished recently: Ursus Majorsys

I might post a couple of pages up soon. I don't know just yet.

It was a good Thanksgiving break.
