Faith and the Rain

Have faith, my friend.

The rain is rarely as bad


As you always fear.

A furry tragedy

I'm sorry, Darling.

We were never meant to be.

I'm a small monkey.

Whats Up, Hot Dog?

Hey folks, just wanted to take a second a check in since I haven't for a while.

Things with Monster Haiku are coming along very nicely. We stopped taking preorders and are currently waiting on the actual, real live books to arrive so that we can get them signed and shipped out to you fine folks who have waited patiently to lay hands on them. I've seen the printers proofs and believe me, you will not be disappointed. Didn't get to order a book in time? Still want some of that sweet, sweet Rachel Arnold Sager artwork? Fear not! Right here in surprisingly sunny Pittsburgh Pa at the fantastic Wildcard we are having a gallery show!! Opening night is April 13th and the entire Monster Haiku gang will be there signing things, writing things and probably doing other things as well. Come out and say hello. I would love to see you.

As for ThoughtfulRiot I plan to ramp up production  again here in the coming months. I will still be writing haiku often, but I want to add a few short stories into the mix. Something I used to do in the past. If nothing else, just something to sharpen my writing skills up.

Thanks for reading:)

I cant breathe. Not here.
What I've always wanted. Here.
Right here in my hand.

1.21 - Monster Haiku

Back in September I did a post here that made mention of a project I was working on with the phenomenally talented Rachel Arnold Sager and her spectacular and also wildly talented husband, one Mr Josh Sager. Well, after many months of fiddling on my part and very hard work on their part, its time to make the big announcement.

Monster Haiku! Its a save the date at the moment, but on February first the store opens and you will be able to pre-order the book. 100% of the profits made from the sale of these Monster Haiku items will be donated to March of Dimes to help care for premature babies. There will be a limited run of books, posters and cards for your pre-ording pleasure.

I want to take a second to sincerely thank Josh and Rachel. This book is part of a dream I've held for a very long time. So, sincerely,  thank you, both of you.

I would also like to thank you. Yes, you, reading this right now. Thank you for stopping by and spending a moment of your day here. As I said before, it means the absolute world to me. Thank you.

I still dream about you.

Even after all this time.

Still. London, England.
