a list of all the artsy fartsy things that are stacking up in my brain

1. I’m going to start making small limited edition prints of some selective celebrity portraits, maybe like 15 of each one and a new one each month? For like 20 bucks or something, depending on how much it costs for me to get nice prints made (I’m looking into it!).

2. Every Hall of Famer has had me thinking about baseball even more than usual and, so, working on my baseball zine. I promise that it will be out sometime during the 2011 baseball season, hopefully earlier than later.

3. I’ve been working hard on my commissions for Shawn and I can’t wait to show you guys!

4. Screenprinting t-shirts! With my boyfriend! Who is really funny and comes up to me randomly the other day and is, without context, all “what if you drew a picture of a cigarette holding hands with a matchbook and a lighter off in the distance crying?”

5. Dollhouses! You guys don’t even know!!!!!

6. The autobiographical web comic that I’ve been saying I am going to do for approximately, what, like, five years now, but I’m really serious about it now because I think the new tablet is actually the perfect medium for it?

7. I want to finally have an art show in real life physical space sometime this summer. I have big ideas for it! It might be my birthday party. And bands? Something fun.

8. And then, of course, after I’m done with the hall of famers I will have a thing where we will look at all of them and then I will give them away or something. I don’t know what I’m going to do with them, actually. But I do know that I want to have an astrodome cake and two ball screwballs and maybe ballpark nachos or something there, though.

9. Shrinky dink jewelry of animals wearing unicorn horns!

10. My sloth halloween costume is absolutely definitely actually for sure happening this year and don’t let me back down this time.

Eephus League → eephusleague.com

I just discovered this site and within an hour I have immediately become it’s most devoted fan. Bethany is going to start syndicating my Every Hall of Famer project here, much to my humble delight. Regardless, her infographics and scoresheets and quote and book reviews (and and and) are not to be missed!

Jay Cutler Is Not A Quitter, He's A Victim Of The NFL's Moron Soap Opera - SBNation.com → sbnation.com

I don’t care much about football itself, but listening to sports radio in the car on the way to the vet’s office this morning (Irwin is fine; he has a UTI and is on antibiotics that should make him better) I was really surprised and frustrated by how widespread the “he’s not tough enough” criticism of Cutler seemed to be. Aren’t these the same people who, when I bring up the morality issues at play when you’re paying people to damage their brains for life for the sake of entertainment purposes, tell me that that’s not the point and that everyone cares about player safety and that the NFL is “working on it”?

If Cutler had played on his torn MCL, damaged it for good, and was out for the rest of his career, or even just a chunk of next year — probably still losing the game, based on how his performance was before he sat out — would he be a hero to Chicago or an idiot? I say the latter. And the real criticism isn’t that he got hurt and didn’t play, it’s that, as this article points out, he wasn’t a good enough actor. He didn’t SEEM hurt enough, and obviously we can’t possibly take the man at his word.

Article brought to my attention by the always thoughtful Dan Solomon.
