It took me six months, but I finally filled another sketchbook! I post scans of the sketches daily on Instagram, and each Monday collect them here.
Halloween Movie Marathon!
As is a longstanding family tradition, on the Friday before Halloween I host a movie marathon for my kids, when I’ll just keep throwing spooky movies on until everyone gives up and goes to bed. Only my 22-year-old still lives at home, but the others make sure their calendar is clear to come home for…
Evil, in your face.
I posted this on X, but I don’t want it to get lost in the worldwide whirlpool. People keep using the word “tragedy” to describe Charlie Kirk’s murder. It’s not. Technically, in a literary sense, a tragedy is a sad but cathartic story in which the protagonist’s actions and/or character flaw lead directly to his…
The Asylum goes to the Oscars.

Here are the ones I thought of first: BACK FROM BROKEN MOUNTAIN – A cowboy once lost on Broken Mountain and presumed dead suddenly returns with amnesia… and memory flashes of an…

Project 2025, in 2025.

Project 2025 was never a policy source for this administration. It was a third-party project, hoping Trump would take their recommendations. A lot…
Sketch of the Day Omnibus Post.
I’ve caught up to my sketchbook again, so it’ll be a little while before I resume posting these sketches of the day. So make them last.
Sketch of the Day Omnibus Post.
(Skipped a day for Easter.)
The worth of souls.
I delivered these remarks in church this Easter morning: I’ve been thinking a lot about value and worth for a while, and I want to share some of my thoughts with you. When we look at anything in the world, it will have many objective characteristics. It will be so high and so wide, it’ll…
