This is an old sketch of my friend Patrick Kochakji.

Friends said I “nailed him” with this one.  There wasn’t any nailing, no nailing went about, that’s disgusting.  I wonder if he has the drawing on his fridge still.  What’s up Patrick– if you see this.

I decided to give it an update.  We used to jam together in a band that met random Thursday nights, more as an excuse to drink Tecate than to make a record.  His wedding video contains impressive footage of me dancing like a imbecile to James Brown, embarrassing everyone within an 8 foot radius.  I wish I could destroy those parts.  Patrick is a really talented artist and musician who also works in animation.  He is in my Amigos section–>

HISTORY. I’m so happy! January 20, 2009!!!

I’m re-posting this from back in February. It’s going to be a tough for our next president, but with Obama in charge and a democratic congress, I think we can get back to being progressive, innovative, and establish a new relationship with the rest of the world. PEACE and LOVE, PEACE and LOVE…

On Wednesday there was a super fun lunch with Cindy, Karen, Moroni and me in White Plains. We pitched each other story ideas, just like the amazing lunch they had one day at Pixar. (Yeah, exactly like that, except every idea was about farting). After lunch we invaded the farmers market and scored a big ass watermelon- plus some pistachios. We chilled the melon and cut it up in the story room. Funny- as we walked into the building, about fifty people asked us if we had vodka in it. Never heard of that. Hmm… have to try that sometime.
