A winter traffic jam up into the Rockies. Always seems like a calming experience from a distance (but then again, I don’t have a car.) I did the cover illustration for the latest (and winter) issue of Denverse Magazine, which should be hitting the streets around Denver right about… now.

"The 'authentic masculinity' our current simulacrum supposedly bastardizes—the stoic frontiersman, the noble warrior, the iron-willed industrialist—was never a biological truth or a historical constant. It was a story built to serve an economic purpose."

Where’s the hardware? Any big thing in space in 2035 will have components under construction right now, today. Show us the factories. And why “highly paid”? Most astronauts are government bureaucrats, and the private ones are paid like pilots, not CEOs. What will change that? 1/

The third song from “Merry Crisis” is “I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas” - Originally performed by Gayla Peevey in 1953. Our cow punk version is the inspiration for the cover art which is a hippo skull in the Welsh Mari Lwyd tradition. Also, Moo Deng forever!
