And, because I feel serotonin is conducive to jam-on noodling, today's musical correspondence is the Meat Puppets playing "Lake of Fire."
Alien Hipster (2012)
With Ridley Scott's Prometheus making its debut this weekend, it's worth remembering that not all of the face-hugging, acid for blood aliens strove to be human killing machines. A select few of the xenomorphs just wanted to be hipsters.

Garbage In 5 Background (2000)
Garbage In 3 Background (2000)
Garbage In 2 Background (2000)
I thought it might be fun to use my blog to showcase some selected images that were initially used as backgrounds for illustrated poetry.
Think of these artworks as black slates. The idea is to strip away the poems in order to re-see the images with new eyes.

Arthur at His Best (2012)
Always Sir Arthur lost so much blood that it was a marvel he stood on his feet, but he was so full of knighthood that knightly he endured the pain.

Sanctum Santorum (2012)
Many of the Christian faith have said, well, that's okay, contraception is okay. It's not okay. It's a license to do things in a sexual realm that is counter to how things are supposed to be.
--Rick Santorum
