I have my reasons

Maybe you saw this yesterday already, but last week I wrote and recorded a little EP as musical alter-ego Livingstonian. It's a departure from my instinctive vocals-and-guitar-and-nothing-else style. Maybe you'll like it? Maybe not. Either way, I wouldn't mind hearing why.

In Crustacean Singles news, I'm pleased to announce that the book I illustrated and co-authored, What The French?! is now available on the iTunes book store.

I just realized that I have more conversations with imaginary stick figures in my head than I do with real people in real life*. I don't really feel bad about it, it's just something I observed with mild interest, like an anthropologist studying myself from the outside. I wonder if the primitive people who made all those  cave paintings were maybe not whole tribes but just one guy per cave, alone and drawing stuff to keep busy or to hold off the loneliness.

*Unless you count texts and the facebeast,  but even then it's a close call. And I don't think they count, anyway.

A marked departure

The following drawing may be kind of shocking to those of you who are used to the regular stick person faces with hollow eyes and no noses. But I happened upon a book illustrated by Quentin Blake, and I wondered if I could draw that way.
