After I quit my horrible job, which I’ll go on about in a later post, I was not sure what I was going to do. I knew I needed some healing time but then what? The healing time took a little longer than expected. Turns out adjusting medication is both trial/error and a lengthy process….
Nasa has a new program to drum up awareness of their Mars missions (or newsletter). As a result, Hardcore Toast is going to be on Mars. Check it out here: https://mars.nasa.gov/participate/send-your-name/future
Sometimes we need other eyes on our work to help us make good decisions. A simple example, for me, is spelling. I often need someone to look over the words for spelling errors. When I am close to my art the letters are just graphic elements and not actual building blocks of words. Its hard…
Like most of America I have seen the Bernie Sanders memes flying around ever since the inauguration. The image of Bernie was uniquely iconic. I am not sure the exact factors that make something iconic but I know it when I see it. Icons are weird little things that can stand on their own as…

My niece needed two signs for her wedding. She left the task to my oldest child who, nowadays with school and looming college stuff,…
I want to encourage you to turn your doodles into tshirts, mugs, or whatever. Lets be clear that I am not sponsored by any company at all. A short look at this site’s menu will show I use all the sites! That said, I want you to not be afraid to create. Make a RedBubble…
Today is a great day in the Bunkr. I feel positive, full of ideas, and brimming with energy. Why? I have had the first good nights sleep in two weeks and it shows. So, why would you read a post about someone just getting a good night’s sleep? This isn’t going to be about that….
