I remember going to see Antz on opening day, back in the dim mists of 1998. It wasn't a premiere or a press screening, it was a mid-afternoon matinee in the West Village in New York, full of kids, the movie's intended audience.

Stephen Miller sobs at the scene in Downfall where Goebbels despairs that the dream of the Third Reich is dead.

I guess my favorite is Karoline Leavitt, because she has like 40 years of unemployment and prison to look forward to

Thinking of Tom Stoppard today, and the time I went to see a production of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead without having read or seen a production of Hamlet and being utterly confused.

Another fun project from ancient times: Producer Jonathan Goldman had a band in the 1980s, Basic Elements, that he revived in the 2010s. He asked me to create a fake discography for his 1980s band, and, if you know me, you know there's nothing I enjoy more than creating fake discographies.

Of course we've all seen Hitler blow his top over the failure of General Steiner to defend Berlin, but did you know that scene has been dramatized many times over the years? Get your Steiner-rant party here!

I just learned that one of the movies in the possession of Osama bin Laden at the time of his death was Antz, a movie I co-wrote.

This must be where the phrase "sun's out, guns out" comes from.

Another favorite commission from year's gone by: Elvis Costello found out about my work somehow, and asked me if I would do a piece for his deluxe Armed Forces box set.

Another favorite gig from years gone by, these podcast icons for Tony Thaxton's Bizarre Albums podcast. The pink and gray one is based on a stereo test LP from the early 1960s, the others are midcentury label-centric 45 sleeves.

I'll tell you one thing, I'm sick to death of people worrying about "innocent people" in the Epstein files. If you're jetting off to a billionaire's private island for a fancy party where teenage girls are passed around like cake, you are way far away from "innocent."

I've been thinking a lot recently about George Lincoln Rockwell. He was the founder of the American Nazi Party, which sounds really scary until you realize it was pretty much just him and a bunch of his friends.

THE ENTIRE WORLD: Kidnapping and raping children is wrong!
NOAM CHOMSKY: But surely exceptions can be made for intellectuals?

Another vintage assignment: the cover for a book about guitarist James Wilsey, who played bass for The Avengers and lead guitar for Chris Isaak and died of mass organ failure in 2018.

The fact that Noam Chomsky, one of the most outspoken critics of capitalism still living, was a big fan of Epstein, even after his conviction, just shows you that money ALWAYS sides with money. There are no exceptions.

One of my favorite commissions, a wedding program designed to look like an 1880s Beadle's Dime Novel. The landscape, plant life, pose, costumes and covered wagon were all part of the directive. A really complicated project, but it came together well!
