Snark Infested Interview — and a Special October Offer

My hour long interview with the internet radio show, Snark Infested Waters, is now up on their website.

Now on Flickr

I've been feeling artsy this summer. Indulge me. I have begun taking strange photographs of things like abandoned hospitals, so I thought I'd join flickr to have a place to put these. Come warm the place up with a comment or something. You can also see some of my latest weird drawings -- like the piece below, entitled "Shark Starvation" -- at the gorelets.com gallery.
