Today is the birthday of Gramm Matthew, Esquire. You might know him as the creator of Disposable Graffiti, but I’m lucky enough to know him as one of my best friends. To show him some love, why not check out his DeviantArt page and buy a zombie print or five. Alternately, you can also contact us to purchase a copy of Disposable Graffiti or just wait around a little bit for me to get it up in the store I’m installing here.
I know, I know. MoveOn.org is a big, commie-infested organization with designs to destroy America, but you have to admit asking for an investigation into people who probably tanked our global economy willfully is a shared desire no matter which party you vote for… Even if you don’t believe that regulations should be tightened, punishing people who defrauded the public is sorta a good thing. With that said, you can sign a petition to the president asking for this by clicking here.
And just in the interest of full disclosure, here is the letter that I included:
Dear Mister President,
I am of the opinion that you have been far more effective in these last few years at instituting change than most seem willing to give you credit for. I have seen that generally your policies are aimed at taking the long view and are based on the principle of getting what can be done realistically accomplished. I sign this petition and send this letter in the fervent hope that that same view includes investigating those responsible for moving forward with a business plan that was guaranteed to disrupt the solvency of our nation’s (world’s, even) economy. I don’t demand immediate action or swift revenge, but instead ask for a thorough investigation followed by any appropriate legal action (ideally in full view of the public eye) within the statute of limitations for any applicable crimes. Up until this point, most would argue that your stance on “Wall Street” corruption has been weak, but I continue to hope that this is just another case of you taking the long view.
Sincerely,
Justin Newberry
P. Craig Russell has a funding campaign up on Kickstarter right now for a series of videos and a DVD dealing with the art of graphic storytelling. Russell is a master of the form, so helping to get these made should be the goal of anyone looking to become a better artist in the medium (I’ve already pledged).
So here’s Jupiter, just out there somewhere… Spinnin’ around… Plottin’ the destruction of us all…
The title is more than a bit sarcastic. Actually, I’m a little dismayed that I have had the site up for this long and only posted on it 100 times. Over the course of three years that equals about two and a half posts per month. Yes, I have blogged much more than that throughout the years in various places, but this is sorta my e-home and I feel like I’ve taken as little care of it as I have my actual home.
So with that in mind, I’m making it my goal to step up my game and be at 1000 posts three years from now. That’s only one a day, but when you consider I was only doing one every fortnight, I think it would be a serious improvement. I’m also making it a short-term goal to get a store on this website, because commerce is encouraging. So even though the new year has already begun in earnest, I’m making these my resolutions. Check back more often, safe in the knowledge that I will be posting content at a brisker pace from now on. If it seems like I am being negligent in this, feel free to chide me until I’m back on track. Here’s to the next 900 posts!
