Painter of ladies, gents, punks, cats, the history of medicine, and biomorphic organisms. Terminally ill with cancer, but whatever. I have a bionic leg.

After two more rounds of chemotherapy that has kicked my ass so intensely (even with a break in Hawaii) that… Continue reading Still Here
Idolized in Las Vegas
It was the first time I had been back to Vegas since 2007, which is a strange feeling, being that I used to go there all the time. Most things had changed but a few things hadn't.
My Cancer Has Returned, So Here Is Some Advice.
