Process Recess was the best art/sketchbook I bought last year. James Jean is one of those artists who you hate for all the skill he has but love because of all the skill he has. I noticed on his website yesterday that he is doing cover art for the upcoming Calexico album, Garden Ruin!! Sweet rolling dustballs <Station Break>! One of my favorite artists and one of my favorite bands unite in Supertwin power activation!! You can currently download a live concert of Calexico and Iron and Wine from the NPR website. I must admit that I am disappointed with the collaberative effort between these two but if anything Calexico props up the thin vocal stylings of Sam Beane (whom I like and the Woman King EP was great). But it will be good to cleanse the 'have mariachi band, will travel' projects that have left a bitter after taste behind. Along with the beautiful art by James, Garden Ruin, is one of those promising records of 2006 that I am eagerly awaiting...and so should you!

Blaghity Bloogh! I didn't know this... if there were ever a reason to eat cake, this is it.
Hey Jared! Slice me a piece and I'll bring the alcohol to toast this auspicious occasion.
Deal... will there be a cheese ball? I figured if we're going to get sloshed and eat cake there might as well be a cheese ball, right?
Sure, only if we can sculpt it into some fromagian tower of doom and besiege it in drunken revelry!
And thanx my first mention on Drawn! I wondered why my counter went thru the roof.
HA!
No problem about the post. You find some great stuff... I find myself checking your blog daily!
