Hi there instagram. I've just launched my website, which includes a link to my etsy store which has three zines, including New Flyer, seen here. Quimby's bookstore describes New Flyer as "Misty watercolored meditations on the psychosocial landscapes of Austin's mass transit become one cartoonist's history,writ in bus lines. Alternates rider sketches with handwritten anecdotes that put you in the seat with Brown, as he points out all the familiar points and passengers along the way. Porcellinoey! And riso so you know it's realo." Check out the link in my header.

#deerhunter was pretty amazing last night. Bradford Cox was dressed appropriately in camouflage overalls.

So every time I go into Room 39 to hang with my homie @justinbeachler I give him a title for a fictional drink and he makes it for me. This week it was "Moscow Golden Shower." Ingredients: vodka, ginger beer, lemon twist, and a tiny scoop of saffron ice cream. Watersports never tasted so good.

G' bye 2016. #weout
