I never heard of the whole “Twilight” craze until I went back to school last year. Now it’s obvious to me that this is the new “thing.” The promotional partnership with Burger King should have been our first clue. “Be sure to ask Mom to get you a bloodthirsty undead serial-cannibal happy meal!”

In all those old film reels and World’s Fair demos from the 1950’s and 1960’s about “The World of Tomorrow” (add echo effect here) we were treated to images of space-age hovercrafts, jet pack, self-cleaning kitchens and robots that can change diapers. Now it’s officially the 21st Century… where’s my jet pack?!? Where’s my housekeeping [...]

As an artist I can understand the passion that can consume people when it comes to immortalizing your artistic vision onto your flesh for all eternity. However, there are a whole LOT of people to need to douse that passion at all costs! Anybody with a couple hundred dollars can buy a tattoo, and it [...]
