People think this was photoshopped*, but no: that’s really how big his head is.
One sure way to get yourself featured in The MKX® is to bribe the editors with some extremely dark chocolate or a delicious alfajor. This time Vanessa León brought me one (Havana, my favorite!) in her recent visit to Austin. Thank you Vanessa! Come back soon!
Today, right before I headed out to my weekly life drawing studio, I opened the trunk of my car in order to throw some stuff in it. That’s when I realized that I had left a cooler full of (now melted) ice in there, together with my sketchpads containing about two years worth of drawings. [...]

I finally ran out of my (discontinued) Sure Soft Solid supply. It lasted me a little over a year. While you can still find both Sure Soft Solid and the replacement Sure MAX online, they are terribly expensive. At brick-and-mortar stores  I couldn’t find either one. Not at HEB, not [...]
Yesterday I received a new and mysterious bottle of Tequila that my dad sent me. My dad somehow manages to find me some wonderful and rare drink every now and then. The brand: “Don José Luis Del Toro RamÃrez“. I had never heard about it and I couldn’t find anything about it on Google. So here’s [...]

If you need a reliable Air Conditioning guy with great service and great prices in the Austin area, [...]
We had a little get-together on Saturday at my place. Unfortunately I lost all the photos in a timely hard drive crash. Fortunately I was able to recover the pictures from the camera’s memory card. It was a great time. Thanks to anyone who made it, especially those who came from out of town and [...]
I started having computer problems a few days ago. They coincidentally started right after I applied the Mac OS X 10.5.7 update. So I blamed that and decided to deal with it whenever I get a chance. The symptoms: my Mac mini would lock up after I use iTunes or iPhoto for a little bit. [...]

This is one of the most fun things you can do with only a few friends and a camera: Shake your head side-to-side vigorously while relaxing its muscles as much as you can; then someone takes a picture. The result is a beautiful still-capture of motion, like those milk drop pictures.
It’s really not a new [...]

The very appropriately named team “Matzo Ballers” participated in the Austin Sports and Social Kickball CO-ED league last Saturday. The 30-team league was divided in a first round of groups followed by the playoffs.
This ad-hoc team was formed with members of YAD. I joined in spite of not having played kickball since elementary school, where we call [...]
