Knit Together at Artomatic, originally uploaded by goshdarnknit.

the James Renwick Alliance gives out these craft awards for art that is really well made. I’m sure there are other criteria, but all the pieces just seem to have that “How did they make that” or “This is put together really well” kind of vibe going for them. That is something that I’ve never thought of my own work. I always seem to leave errors in the things that I make. Not on purpose really, I just can’t seem to smooth out the details. I guess I need to experiment more and really get my technique down. There’s always next year!

Hello! to people who took my card from Artomatic and then came through the link to here.
Hello! to people who were searching for “Batman Spaceship”

But hello the most to people who are looking for the “Worlds Tallest Cat”. Because that post is the most popular I’ve ever done. I am going to cater to the masses and post some pictures of Frankie, hopefully with some sort of scientific measurements.

Also my other website Swalrus.org is now the number one result when searching for “swalrus” on google… I have now fulfilled one of my life goals.

I usually hat Michael Moore. Not that he dosen’t make some entertaining documentaries about important subjects, but he’s just an enormous ass. BUT… he does have some good things to say about what to do with this failing auto maker that we all just bought. I think his way of connecting what’s happening now with the wartime industry of the 40s is really smart. Also he made me realize that we’ve made a switch this big before, from horses to cars. Now we can do it again, from cars to…

Just as President Roosevelt did after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the president must tell the nation that we are at war and we must immediately convert our auto factories to factories that build mass-transit vehicles and alternative-energy devices. Within months in Flint in 1942, GM halted all car production and immediately used the assembly lines to build planes, tanks, and machine guns. The conversion took no time at all. Everyone pitched in. The fascists were defeated
