Here's how it goes folks. I'm going to be putting 3 pictures up today, each one following this post. They will be sold auction-style. The title of each piece is underneath it. In the comment section of each drawing, make your bid. The price starts at the low, low price of $10 or $25 depending on the size, and if you'd like, we can add on matting, framingfllllllll, and shipping, but you'll have to pay extra for that. Just, you know, whatever it costs me.
These are pieces that have been with me for years. I love them and I've sworn several times that I'd never sell them. For some reason over the past few days though, I've felt it important that people out there who wanted my work, be it friends or family or really famous people who read my blog (looking at you Keyboard Cat) have it. Life is beautiful, a roller-coaster, but it is notoriously short. I'll draw new pictures that will replace these and then I'll sell those too and it will go on and on until the day I cannot any longer. So, without further ado - Here are the first 3 pictures for sale!
Alight, so in terms of legal-eze, please consider that what you will be getting is the one-of-a-kind, very first and very only edition I did of that drawing. HOWEVER - it has been digitally scanned and I do still retain the rights to the image should one day a book about me comes out or, even worse, my own sneakers. You can either send your bids to me privately (just the name of piece and your bid). If you get outbid, I'll let you know. These pictures will be oficially 7/1. Yes, that means the next exciting batch of drawings will be sold on the FOURTH OF JULY! I know your excited, but sit down and stop screaming.
All of these pictures were created, drawn, and loved by Andrew Paul Press, 2/25/1981. Thank you. Let the fun begin.

Oft-quoted industry analyst Michael Pachter, of Wedbush Morgan Securities, had something to say about E3's announcements. All that games chatter was one thing, but Pachter thought the real news was all the other web media deals that Microsoft had made for the 360. "The announcement that I thought was missed was the opening of the Xbox Live Dashboard interface to the internet," Pachter told Gamasutra. "Later this year, Microsoft will allow members to access last.fm and to select music, to access Netflix and instantly watch films/TV shows, to access Facebook and interact with other friends, and to access Twitter and post/read tweets."

Just shy of a month ago, I got a call from David Reimer's father telling me that David had taken his own life. I was shocked, but I cannot say I was surprised. Anyone familiar with David's life—as a baby, after a botched circumcision, he underwent an operation to change him from boy to girl—would have understood that the real mystery was how he managed to stay alive for 38 years, given the physical and mental torments he suffered in childhood and that haunted him the rest of his life. I'd argue that a less courageous person than David would have put an end to things long ago.

korean designer rhea jeong has sent in images of her 'void' LP player. the record player uses a carrier and dock outfitted with a magnetic and auto-calibrating control system which carries the LP into thin air as it is playing music. a self-running record player shaped in the form of a red sphere, contains a needle, amplifier and speaker, spins around the record, bringing the music to life. the sphere that plays the vinyl was technically influenced by the 'vinyl killer', currently the world's smallest LP player that has a built-in motor, amplifier and speaker.

Amnesty International has installed a new anti-domestic-abuse ad fixture in Hamburg, Germany which is equal parts clever and shocking: when you look at the photo, it's a smiling couple; when you look away, it's a dude punchin' a lady.

The Strain
They have always been here. Vampires. In secret and in darkness. Waiting. Now their time has come.
In one week, Manhattan will be gone. In one month, the country.
In two months--the world.
A Boeing 777 arrives at JFK and is on its way across the tarmac, when it suddenly stops dead. All window shades are pulled down. All lights are out. All communication channels have gone quiet. Crews on the ground are lost for answers, but an alert goes out to the CDC. Dr. Eph Goodweather, head of their Canary project, a rapid-response team that investigates biological threats, gets the call and boards the plane. What he finds makes his blood run cold. In a pawnshop in Spanish Harlem, a former professor and survivor of the Holocaust named Abraham Setrakian knows something is happening. And he knows the time has come, that a war is brewing . . . So begins a battle of mammoth proportions as the vampiric virus that has infected New York begins to spill out into the streets. Eph, who is joined by Setrakian and a motley crew of fighters, must now find a way to stop the contagion and save his city--a city that includes his wife and son--before it is too late.

Sam's Club -- a subsidiary of Wal-Mart (WMT) -- recently came under fire for a rather unusual promotional campaign for its pharmacy: A Maryland branch handed out prescription bottles filled with candy to children -- presumably to introduce the world of pharmaceutical drugs to minors. The promotion was quickly killed and Sam's Club issued an apology, calling it an isolated incident.

The strange saga of After Last Season has taken another bizarre twist. First there was the baffling trailer, which set off a wave of speculation amongst the film bloggerati. Was it for real? Or an insidious viral marketing campaign for another movie entirely? Then the movie itself arrived in a small handful of theaters nationwide, and a few hardy souls, including yours truly, set forth to witness its mysteries. Now world’s number one After Last Season fan and chief officer of Pineapple Club (”the exclusive club for anyone who has seen After Last Season“) Nick Robinson is reporting that all existing prints of the film will be destroyed after tonight’s screenings – by order of director Mark Region himself!

Pauline Kael called it "a huge, jerry-built, crumbling ruin of a movie". Roger Ebert called it "such a silly and stupid movie... our immediate reaction is pity". Few directors of Michelangelo Antonioni's stature have followed a film as acclaimed as Blowup (1966) with one as reviled as Zabriskie Point (1970).
While what merit the film has is found chiefly, if not solely, in Antonioni's characteristically striking visuals - particularly its concluding explosion sequence set to Pink Floyd's "Come in Number 51, Your Time is Up" (previously) - the movie has been YouTubed in its entirety here. (related)

I realized about 5 years ago that at some point in the 80s, lots of the popular music started incorporating saxophone solos into their songs. Some of them are fine, but most of them are ridiculous to have in the songs. Below, I have attempted to separate the quality and appropriateness of the solos from what I think of the song as a whole (I still really like most of these songs, even the ones with low grades). Click on the Play buttons to play the samples.

The family of a man convicted of rape will be in an Austin, Texas, courtroom Thursday to try to clear his name — joined by the woman whose testimony helped imprison him. In 1985, Timothy Cole was a student in Lubbock when he was arrested and accused of being the Texas Tech rapist. A string of coeds had been raped, and the young African-American man from Fort Worth, who'd never been in trouble with the law before, was convicted largely on the eyewitness account of one rape victim.

Hard to believe - this was Michael Jackson. He was born August 28, 1958 - one of 9 kids. His father reportedly nicknamed him "Big Nose". Mike was born a cute African-American guy. "Normal", if you will, and very talented. Despite the current, sad stories about his lonely, sad childhood, Mike grew up surrounded by famous people and an adoring public. At age 5, Mike and his brothers were the amazing 'Jackson 5'. They played locally, then in New York and Philly. They were "discovered" by Gladys Knight and pianist Billy Taylor at the famous Apollo Theater in Harlem. By age 11, Mike was a Superstar. At age 13 he went solo and had his first #1 hit at 14 with "Ben" (a touching love song to a rat).
