Lance Richbourg X James Kochalka
Mad Dog X Gentle Observation

Lance started his Mad Dog series as a young man in LA in the 1960's, represented by the famously wild CeeJe gallery. Now he's quite elderly and hadn't made any art in a few years...but I got him going again! The spark is still there!

Our cat Wendy must’ve brought her toy mouse outside with her this morning. I found it this evening when I went outside to get wood for the wood stove.
Yarn mouse on the steps in the snow.

It’s been 13 years since the SuperF*ckers animated series first debuted on Cartoon Hangover. I still remember watching it for the first time when I was 10 years old. It was wild, unhinged, and unforgettable.

The atomic blade thrusts upward and quite unexpectedly slices you in two from your asshole to your brain.

Prince Michael Jackson returns in an orgy of violence.
