January 28th, 2020 Hello, my fabulous Squirrels. So: you see these everyday. A digital suitcase placed out to raise funds for a work or a person. If you decide to keep on scrolling, I 100% understand and have been that person many times, too. But. But, if you believe in me, or the work IContinue reading “Kickstart Me Up”

While Supplies Last
January 18th, 2020 So, I had to make a tough decision yesterday, which is both bittersweet and exciting: I will not be doing any further printings of any individual issues of The Weirdos. What does this mean? If you already own a copy or copies: congratulations! You own a relatively rare piece of my work!Continue reading “While Supplies Last”
Happy Holidays, Thank You & Brand New Website!
December 7th, 2019 Happy weekend, family and friends — longtime and brand new! I hope this letter finds you with a perfectly piping cup of cocoa, tremendously thick socks wrapped around your toes and a purring pet passed out by your feet. Wherever you are, I hope you’re well and having a peaceful season. IContinue reading “Happy Holidays, Thank You & Brand New Website!”
Scaredy Cat
November 16th, 2019 I’m terrified, you guys. If you’ve heard me talk at all about what’s next for me, you know that I’m collecting all the issues of The Weirdos, coloring them and releasing it as a Collector’s Edition graphic novel next year. And I’m petrified to try to really get started. I’ve been puttingContinue reading “Scaredy Cat”
To Us
October 25th, 2019 This is a shout out (and a lift up) to the crazy people like me: to those of you who have collaborative hearts, but have found that in order to make any of your dreams a reality, you have to do it yourself. It doesn’t matter what your dream is, either. YouContinue reading “To Us”
Reintroduction
September 6th, 2019 Some people need no introduction. Some people beg to be reintroduced. So whether you’ve never even heard of me or you feel like you know me intimately, this is my #fridayintroductions — and maybe we’ll all learn something new today. My name is Dennis. I’m the guy in this photo. Not theContinue reading “Reintroduction”
Put It All Down
August 23rd, 2019 I know this photo is boring, but this is one of the most important paragraphs I have ever read in my life. Context: last year, my friend Tracy recommended this book to me. It’s called The Writing Life, it’s by Annie Dillard, and it is one of the best books I haveContinue reading “Put It All Down”
Danish
August 3rd, 2019 Let’s say you make a really good blueberry Danish. And you want to share your Danish with the world. So you decide to write down the recipe. But then you quickly realize that nobody actually makes this Danish like you do. But how could you make all these pastries and share themContinue reading “Danish”
The Worst Book > Your Best Idea
July 25th, 2019 The worst book on a shelf is, believe it or not, still better than your best idea. This is true because the finished book has the virtue of being complete and existing in a sharable form. “That does not mean a terrible book is better than this amazing movie idea I’ve hadContinue reading “The Worst Book > Your Best Idea”
One More Day
July 9th, 2019 My only goal is to put one more good day between me and the person I used to be. This may sound brutal and typically too honest from me, but sometimes I really understand why Bradley Cooper killed himself at the end of A Star Is Born. To wake up every dayContinue reading “One More Day”
