A very nice review of my book, Cockroach of the Dada movement. (link for purchase in pinned post) "Karl Sigler, the collection's true author, has created a mysterious and fictional writer-K. Ungeheuer-and woven his existence into our world with the skill of a master tailor."
I'm fleshing out the world of my novelette. Snip Snip and Friends is an incredibly popular kids' cartoon that keeps popping up. Here's a fake newspaper ad I made for it.
One of the things I hate about GenAI is the burden it puts on the viewer. You now need an extra step: figuring out, from context, content, and the person posting, whether the art is a human creation or AI slop mashing up plagiarized content. Tech bros ruin everything (art by human, Lili Todd)
A taxi running a red light struck down weird horror author K. Ungeheuer at 2nd Avenue and St. Marks Place on the 13th of July 1988. He was 80 years old and died before reaching the hospital. The taxi driver was never caught. Rest in Peace, K. (photo © Peter Koppenaal) #surrealism #book
I finally caught Obsession this weekend. Great movie made incredible by Inde Navarrette's performance as Nikki. 6 out of 5 severed thumbs up. Check it out!
A new tattoo completing my right forearm. It's a tribute to Kafka with the text to "The Tiger," the first story of his I ever read and the one that led me to write again in high school. Of course, that's Gregor Samsa at the wrist.
Happy birthday to Franza Kafka, the godfather of the absurd, finding joy in the weirdness of this Sisyphean life. He was born on this day in 1883. Thank you!
I baked a soft sandwich bread today. It folds and flops! Soft and fluffy without any dough softeners. Flour, milk, salt, sugar, butter, vegetable oil, and yeast.
My first tattoo in 30 years and pretty much how I remembered the process, but a six and a half hour session is no joke. This one celebrates the cover art of my first book. Shout out to @valdevia.art for the artwork. #noai #supportlocalartists
It took some weeks, but I fixed the mainspring! It will always need maintenance, but she's working!
Here is Turnip the Tripawd demonstrating how a three-legged doggo makes a nest before a nap
More work restoring my 1961 Hermes Rocket. Removed the old felt and replaced it with something more colorful. I also saved Ms. Devico's signature on the original paper to keep a bit of its history intact.
Ok, ADHD frenz. Have you ever gone down the rabbit hole with your new hyper focused interest? Anyway, here's my new 1961 seafoam Hermes Rocket.
My new baby! A 1955 Hermes Baby, that is. It needs a little love, but should be in good working order soon. The last photo is William Burroughs and his Hermes Baby.
Two tier, triple chocolate cake for our friend, Lana's birthday. Chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream, chocolate maria cookies in between layers and on the sides. Completed with milk and dark chocolate shards.
This simple peanut butter stirrer is really good at its job and oddly satisfying
Getting some writing done. I hope your creative work, whatever it is, brings you joy this weekend
Every now and then, I check in on my little book on Amazon. It recently got another five-star review. It lights up my heart when I run into roadblocks with my current stories.
