Mission Statement: A cosmonomad on a mission to explore uncharted worlds and harvest the strangest of plants for my documentation and public education.
Medium: Oil, ink, graphite, digital – for now. I’m going to be dabbling in sculpture for next year’s Conjoined in 3D exhibit at Copro Nason.
Aesthetic: I’m exploring my fascination with Chapter 8 of À rebours and the concept of alien flora. My paintings are modeled after antiquated botanical illustration.
Fresh from my week-long trip to New York, I’m back in South Florida – and seething. Here’s the Top 10 reasons why…
1. When I fly, the choice is “microwave oven” or multiple full-body gropedowns. I’ve flown for many years, and only recently is this happening to travelers on a regular basis. It’s unconstitutional and scary.
6. When people here in the U.S. protest this corruption and total tyrannical insanity, they are met with “less than lethal” rubber-coated shotgun bullets, tear gas, and other chemical agents. I’ve heard people say some protesters have been covered in so much chemical agent it has led to seizures and other serious health problems. Protesters have also allegedly been forced to urinate on each other, and have been kept in inhumane conditions for hours.
7. This has also received very little media coverage.
8. Congress thinks its OK to literally profit from insider knowledge, and have been blatantly doing so, at a time when many Americans are out of work, in foreclosure, and genuinely hurting.
9. This has also received very little media coverage.
10. Most of the people you forward this article to won’t care, and won’t take action. Stop distracting me from Super Bowl post-whatever, bro.

Who needs an army when you have a Hulk on your side? The newest trailer for The Avengers aired this weekend as part of the Super Bowl ad lineup. The Avengers will be released this May and each trailer just makes it looks better and better.
Amazing Spider-Man also released its second trailer this last week. After the CGI wreck they released first time around, this second one was a pleasant surprise. A new trailer wasn’t the only thing to come forth from the Amazing Spider-Man camp, more photos and characters bios were released on the official website. Spider-man is looking up, but I still don’t know if it will be able to stand against The Avengers or The Dark Knight Rises.
It’s starting to look like Hollywood is going to be packed with superheroes in the summer of 2013 as well. The Wolverine has a July 26, 2013 release date, joining The Man of Steel, Iron Man 3, and Thor 2 for the 2013 summer superhero season. Now, I love my superhero movies, but if Hollywood keeps putting them out at this frequency they are going to burn us all out. I personally have tired of the old X-Men series since the third movie bombed.
The big event happening over at Marvel Comics this year is Avengers vs. X-Men, but there is one other major happening — Spider-Men. Not much was known about this till the last week when Marvel released a graphic of two Spider-Man logos meshed together. It is clear the logos are that of Peter Parker and Miles Morales. Most are complaining, assuming they are bringing back Peter Parker in the Ultimates universe that Miles Morales now acts as Spider-Man in. I would like to raise a new theory however, they are introducing Miles Morales into the main Marvel line, or Earth-616. As the Ultimates universe is a variation of their main verse (the one Amazing Spider-Man takes place in), I argue that Miles Morales could exist in that world to. If he became a Spider-Man there, we would then have three Spider-Men, including the new Scarlet Spider. That puts Marvel half way to creating some Spider-Man knockoff of Batman Incorporated.
Marvel’s Spider-Men logo was small news compared to DC officially announcement of Before Watchmen. The series will star the Watchmen heroes in events that happen before the graphic novel Watchmen. There will be seven books total: Rorschach, Minutemen, Comedian, Dr. Manhatten, Nite Owl, Ozymandias, and Silk Spectre. Each issue will also feature a two page back up story of Curse of the Crimson Corsair. There has been a lot of talk about the whether or not DC should publish these comics. Allen Moore, the creator of Watchmen, had a falling out with DC and does not want them to use his properties. However, from a legal standpoint DC have retained the rights.
After losing their first choice for the female lead, the Evil Dead remake has cast Jane Levy (pictured in our header) to fill the role. Levy will be playing Mia, the equivalent of Bruce Campbell’s Ash Williams. Hopefully this casting sticks as they only have about a year left since the film releases on April 12, 2013.
Despite the a low domestic gross total, Robert Rodriguez intends to make good on his promise to make two more Machete films. That dream is coming even closer as he has teamed up with producer Alexander Rodnyansky to begin work on the second film in the trilogy. Despite its low gross totals, the first film was a cult success and it almost doubled its cheap budget.

I’m a huge Sriracha fan. I put it on almost everything. While I was visiting a very good friend of mine in Seattle over Thanksgiving, he introduced me to The Sriracha Cookbook by Randy Clemens. There are over 50 awesome recipes with Sriracha sauce as the star ingredient. The first thing we decided to try were these scrumptious Sriracha burgers. We ended up eating them ALL week long and I have been craving them ever since that trip. Last week I decided to make them again, but I changed a few things. I tend to like my food on the much hotter side, so I tripled the Sriracha in this recipe. The original recipe calls for 10 Tablespoons. So here is my take on the “Ultimate Sriracha Burger” from The Sriracha Cookbook 🙂 Enjoy!
Ingredients:
(Serves 8 – I like to form the meat patties and freeze them for quick meals later.)
3 lbs ground turkey
1/4 cup of Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 cup-ish of Sriracha sauce, plus more for drizzling
4 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper
4 slices thick cut bacon
3/4 cup chunky Bleu Cheese dressing
2 large sweet onions, julienned
8 thick slices of your favorite cheese (personally I am a big fan of muenster with this recipe)
8 whole grain hamburger buns
Romaine lettuce or arugula
beefsteak tomato, sliced.
Directions:
1. In a pan, cook bacon. After bacon is cooked, remove and sauté julienned onions in bacon fat letting them caramelize slowly. While onions are cooking, start preparing turkey meat.
2. In a large mixing bowl, mix half of the Sriracha, Worcestershire, and pepper. Add in ground meat. Do not over-mix, and form into 8 patties. Refrigerate while onions finish cooking.
3. When onions are done, remove from pan. Either pan sear turkey burgers, or grill (to preference) until cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees. Set burgers aside. Add cheese while cooking, or after, to preference.
4. In a small bowl, mix together remaining Sriracha sauce and bleu cheese.
5. Now it’s time to assemble! Spoon some of the Sriracha-bleu cheese dressing on bottom bun and add turkey cheeseburger on top. Add two half strips of bacon, and a portion of caramelized onion. Top with another spoonful of Bleu-Sriracha dressing. Feel free to drizzle with more Sriracha. Add top bun, serve with lettuce and tomato on side.
