Critter Notebook: Pretty Monster



Known for having a taste for the finer things in life, the Pretticulous Epicurious will track a pretty scent for months before attacking. Noted Critterologist, Dr. Rafaello Munchapita, observed and tracked the commonly known "Pretty Monster" for decades until the spring of 1838, becoming one more victim of good fashion sense.

It is suspected that the "Pretty Monster" is attracted by pretty or fashionable items and can do little to control its urges to consume it and consequently the person wearing the item. The creature is especially drawn to attractive women and especially celebrities. In a 1823 journal, Dr. Munchapita wrote, "The P.E. seems terribly attracted to items that we as a community deem as beautiful, as is this were not enough, it is drawn to movement and falls into a trance-like state when the creature is automatically turned into a tracking and feeding machine."

Dr. Munchapita fell victim to his obession with the "Pretty Monster" one which he captured as a pup and raised clandestinely for years. Upon post-pubescent maturation, the creature attacked the good doctor, only after a particularly dashing haircut.

A sketchbook salute to the Pretticulous Epicurious and Dr. Munchapita's legacy.

Fieldbook_Post_07 - Snorkelman



There's this guy that swims every morning at my gym when I'm swimming and he wears goggles and a snorkel. Thought that was a little creepy, but that's what I get for living artsy I guess!

Sometimes, you do something terribly dumb and don't know why.

Don't let 'em the the best of you, you're better than that!



Swing when it's toughest. Swing when they say you can't possibly succeed. Swing when you ain't got no mo'.
Show the world that you're made of tougher stuff. Just don't give up.

Part of something bigger



We all want to be heard, even for a single screaming minute. Unlock and release your fears. You are crucial to this world and give it color. You are wanted even when you don't think you deserve it. You are part of one giant screwed up family, mankind.

I Have a Question.



Raise it higher! Don't choke. Just throw it out there, because there are no stupid questions. Unless you're the one who's about to break that stupid mold.
Ahhhh, screw it! Just do it!
