Jim Draplin, asking me what the distraction was all about.

My dad drives some weird Mercury station wagon these days. And man, those back windows have ALWAYS freaked me out. And of course, he loves them and presents them to you, proud as hell.

Regarding his vanity plate, “This has got me out of two tickets. The cop said, ‘I don’t give tickets to Santa.’ No shit, Aaron.” Wow. Good strategy.

One of my favorite “Stuff Birdhouse” masterpieces in the back yard. Dad makes these beasts.

Everything has a home on these.

Well, you can definitely see where you get your state-poster design inspiration from. That birdhouse is insane.

Fantastic work on that house for birds!

Great minds must think and design alike.

There’s a lot of birdhouse design going on in your Pretty Much Everything Up To May 27th, 2009 Poster.

Maybe there’s some mandatory collaborative work in the future?
