Ask Me Anything #61

It's the first Monday of the month and time for "Ask Me Anything."  Ask me anything you want.  Anything except what is happening with the Milestone relaunch, because I don't have an answer for you beyond "it's still moving forward."

Questions can be posted in the comments section below, and I'll either answer them there, or in a separate post sometime later in the month.
I've been asked a lot of good, thought provoking questions in the past as well as some really banal ones, all of which I tried to answer.

Random Objects In My Office

I haven't posted any random objects from my office in ages. Here's one now. This is a poster of the Wolfman that I got from a box of Honeycombs as a kid. I've always loved this image. It glows in the dark, too.

Joel and Ethan Coen

Here's my cut paper portrait of the Coen brothers for the show dedicated to the filmmakers and their films which opens tomorrow night at Gallery 1988 (West).
