So, white people are at it again.
Totally not gonna watch this.
I don’t think I’ve ever reblogged/posted anything from World Star Hip Hop. Pretty sure it won’t happen again.
Oh. Shit.
Well, no use in panicking, I guess. It’s only the Internet.
I know a bunch of you have been up in arms about this deal, and I understand. I’m a Flickr user – since 2005 – and I’ve seen it go from a vital spot on the Web to an Instagram photo dump (guilty as charged). One very damning article lays the blame at Yahoo’s feet. Will history repeat itself? Only time will tell, right? Especially when it comes to naughty stuff.*
*Shout out to Violet Blue (NSFW) for that link.
WOW
Pictured above is my man Rob Crooks, the homie Sam Thompson, and me being goofy. Rob and Sam are the hosts of Witchpolice Radio (other host Jon Askholm was AWOL), and I was a guest! It was a blast! We played music based on the randomly-generated theme of “paranoia”, and went madly off in all directions, discussion-wise. Give it a listen!

Got Up This Mornin’…
…heard the news about Angelina Jolie and thought, Twitter’s probably having a very wrong-headed field day with this. And I was right. (Hat tip to Aggie for linkin’ it up.) The other sad thing about this is that I’m no longer surprised when shit like this happens. I expect it.
I’m gonna fold some clothes.

Not Your Entertainment
getting real tired of folks feeling the need to (horribly) autotune and remix interviews with black people in the news. don’t see it happening regularly to white adults. we’re not your entertainment.
I’m haven’t seen Auto-Tuned versions of Charles Ramsey’s account of what went down in Cleveland, and frankly, I don’t want to. His description of the events was humourous in delivery, yes, but the ultimate “punchline” was a sad commentary on what it’s like to be a black man in America. Not only did he help save the lives of a bunch of women – a fact which should not be overshadowed at all – he was being real as fuck.

Cosplay that makes me look on in stunned silence is the best cosplay.
And like any muscle, if you work at it for a while, it gets stronger. And then if you stop – even for a couple of days – it atrophies.
Wendy MacNaughton on drawing. This quote can be found in the latest Design Matters with Debbie Millman episode, where Wendy and her partner Caroline Paul talk about their individual (and fascinating) creative journeys, leading to their book, Lost Cat.
I have to remind myself of what she said constantly. it’s true.
Side note: Wendy’s got a cool workspace!

I’ve been only kinda aware of Corey S. Lewis’ work, so I’m glad I’m following him here on Tumblr.
I’m at the tail end of an Inkstuds episode with him and Brandon Graham, and it’s hilarious. He’s a fan of Naruto, so there are random screams of “SASUKE!!!” throughout the show.
The last shoot for my Cheap Motel project that’s been going on since 2005 or so. Now, the long difficult task of pulling the best images together and searching for a publisher.
Have to thank London Andrews for being such an awesome model and person. I had been wanting to photograph her for quite a few years now and it finally happened and I could not be more elated.
If you get the chance to work with her, do it. She is beyond cool.
Chip Willis and London Andrews are like chocolate and peanut butter, a hammer and nails, a hand and glove, etc.
I’d love to pick up this book when it comes out.
