sir paul is complete, sans some minor finishing touch-ups. he's just one example of interest in my recent obsession with british pop culture.


and,
to all going to the achak deng tour, i'm beyond excited.

this is a great listen, especially if you know a second language and/or have funny translation stores about being overseas. its an npr segment about poor english translations of advertisements in china.



this is the part where i start to wonder what the heck i'm doing...

these are some google images i found to help inspire my next project. i'm not sure exactly how i'm going to incorporate elements from these photos, but i enjoy each one individually. i need some encouragement to get started. i find myself uninterested in painting lately, which saddens me seeing as how it is typically what i love to spend my time doing. i have a blank canvas sitting on my easel, but that hasn't done its usual trick of motivating me to paint it. ergo, i leave it now to the images below to conjure up my desire to paint.

greetings from sunny california.

i'm currently in the bay area visiting some family. its been a whirl-wind trip, complete with every travel disaster possible, including lost luggage i still haven't received. oh well.

in other news, i'm coming home today, hopefully to a warmer NWA. i heard the weekend weather was brutal, especially to our vegetation.

if jesus can raise from the dead, he can bring our plants back to life.

happy coming easter. he is risen.

this is great:

"Jesus, the pork chop multiplier" -kent hodskins*


this is also great:

the last half of my shower was spent taking terrible pictures and dancing around in a green bath robe.


*this was in reference to Jesus multiplying the fish and loaves, noting that the Lord at one point had multiplied a pork chop dinner at a missions bible base in mexico that one of kent's old professors had witnessed. but it sounds so funny, like a nickname for Jesus, like Jesus "the pork chop multiplier" Christ. it should go on compston's link list.
