Here’s one of my more “developed” ideas from the jareddriskill sketchbook.
One day when I had an idle moment, I had the brilliant idea to blend two of my favorite 1950’s pop culture references ( Dior’s ”New Look” fashion and EC comics ”New Trend”) together. The result is this: a mock up cover of “The Haunt of Fashion” the fictional EC “New Trend” [...]

I don’t know why I am on a political kick lately, it’s SO unlike me.
So.. John McCain chose the govenor of Alaska to be his running mate and the media is all over this “historic” choice. Two thoughts instantly come to mind about Sarah Palin being his running mate.
1. What’s so historic about a female [...]

1. The good thing about the working out your two week notice is that, well shit, the lack of stress that you feel on the job. As you know, no matter what happens, it won’t matter (at least to you) after your notice is finally up.
Ah, if only the job was this stress free when I was [...]

Not that I care because I’m the most apolitical person you will ever meet, but I’m so glad that Obama did not choose Virginia Governor, Tim Kaine, to be his running mate. How Tim Kaine ever thought he was in the running for the position is beyond my understanding because he a total fuck up [...]

Let’s take another peek in my almost long forgotten sketchbook. This one is entitled “Mexican robot.” The idea for this sketch came to me as I was driving past an gaudily decorated Mexican restaurant on the road one day and the idea that a old time-y robot wearing a poncho and a sombrero seemed like “the thing” [...]

Long time members of my faithful reading several will recall that last spring I took a post modern film history class in order to A: fulfill an art elective requirement and B: to have a important piece of post modern film history to review each week on this website. It turns out that the class I [...]

I just worked 80 hours in the past 5 days or so and I’m beat. I hope my faithful reading several will understand for the lack of posts recently. But the good news is that classes start back up tomorrow so I won’t have [...]

sorry for the lack of posts recently, but classes start next week and I have been slaving away at both of my jobs in one last desparate money grab before school takes over my life again. The good news is that I will be able to write more because I don’t always study when I have freetime….
