I’ve been visiting California, cleaning out my parent’s garage (We also celebrated the holidays). Notable finds have included a Russian hand-pump flashlight, a full set of McDonald’s happy meal toys that change from food products into dinosaurs, and the above drawing by yours truly, circa 2006. This is my happiest discovery. It was the first time I ever used watercolor pencils properly, and also my best depiction of pancakes EVER. I drew it when I was on break from school, and missing my favorite place on Earth at the time, the 24-Hour Steak and Hotcake House in Portland Oregon.
If you’ve ever been to it, you know there is nothing better than a platter of their thick n’ wet hotcakes along with a pile of super crisp hashbrowns, a tublet of real 100% maple syrup, rounded off with lukewarm Coca Cola.
Also, don’t worry, we’ll come back to Arts n’ Craft Monster.
CHEESEBURGERS IN THE SKY LOVES ARTS N’ CRAFTS

Let’s not forget the possibility of seeing a drunk hooker throw up all over her pimp, or watching a high-school fight unfold, or finding a comatose overdose in the bathroom stall…
