Like me on Facebook

I heard tell that everyone who is anyone is on Facebook. Being as I was not, I began to be concerned if I didn't get on soon, I may cease to exist.

Please give me a "Like" @

www.Facebook.com/MorbideusWGoodell

By the way, that will be the only place on the web where I'll be posting most recent Artwork, sketches and failures. I weed out my best stuff for my regular site.

Where the heck have I been?!?!?

I just checked this Blog and saw that I haven't posted in close to a year! That's just wrong... BAD! BAD BLOGGER!! There's been PLENTY going on, (or has gone on) and I have been negligent at documenting any of it...

It's not like ridiculous things don't happen to me on a regular basis, they certainly do. I have been posting on Facebook once in a while, but that doesn't count.

For one thing: In Maine, after huntin' season ended last year, I was able to get a good deal on a bunch of "hunter-orange" baseball style caps. check out

I've started marketing my hand-painted hats. Only jack-o-lantern style right now, more to come.

See that!?!? I make my first post in close to a year, and what do I do? Try to peddle more of my stuff. I'm such a whore....

Salem Report: 2009

"I love Salem in October, it's like Days of the Dead meets Mardi-Gras."

Morticia and I did our yearly jaunt to Salem MA yesterday, it was great to see Matt and Mara (proprietors of www.FoolsMansion.com) as well as artist Nick Demakes and his cephalopod (lol!)girlfriend Christina. Fun group, I wish we lived closer.

In addition dropping off a bunch of prints and artwork to The Fool's Mansion, we also picked up a brand new vender in Salem, "Life & Death, Oddities and Curios Shop" www.lifeanddeathinsalem.com they sell Absinthe supplies, Post Mortem items (funerary, not US) and "Dreadful rarities". A shop not to be missed in you are cruising around Salem looking for a memorable experience!

A Funny Thing...

A little something I wrote years ago, still true to this day...

A Funny Thing

I often tell stories which I think are funny.
That's why I tell them, I think they are funny.

A funny thing is,
The people I often tell these stories to don't think they are funny, and therefore don't understand just why I told it to them in the first place.

And the fact that I often tell stories which I think are funny,
to people who don't think they are funny,
I think is hysterical!

The Art Festival is over...

The WCSH-6 Portland Sidewalk Art fesstival (annum#44) is over. The whole thing went pretty well, and I learned a few things:

1. If a guy is looking at a print like he may consider buying it, don't talk to his girlfriend.

2. When someone asks about the price for an original piece, start high.

3. AND THE MOST IMPORTANT THING: Bring tape. If I had to borrow someone else's tape one more time, I risked punching my own self in the face.

But all in all, it was a good show. People seemed to really like the new "Dead Man's Chest" piece that I recently completed, and "Nacht der Geist" as well as "No Hear Say or See" & Cutey-Die are still popular. I love that.

Disposable World

So many of the things that we see and use every day are made not be disposed of. Things aren't made to last as they once were, it's all fodder for the ever-growing Waste Stream Monster.

This is a fact, I know it, you know it. Which raises the question: Why do I save so much crap?!? I am a sucker for saving, glueing, taping and trying to get every last once of life out of everything I use. I had this epiphony which stacking paperwork: I have boxes of paperclips right next to me, yet found myself twisting and trying to bend out another use from a paperclip that had clearly been used several times before. WHY DO I DO THIS? For the Environment? Because I'm a cheap bastard?? Is it OCD?!?

I don't know, but I am going to make an effort to treat more disposable things as the garbage they were meant to be. I'm starting with a BRAND-NEW PAPERCLIP!!!
