Apparently all the courtroom colored markers that I use for the stick figure drawings decided to run out of ink at the same time. Hopefully I will get replacements soon and I can get back to documenting the jury duty ridiculousness, but in the meantime I've decided to post a work-in-progress picture of my current painting.

Somehow the most moronic teenagers always think they're the most intelligent people in any given room, but are actually too stupid to understand just how wrong they are.

During the trial I learned that lawyers have to ask the judge for permission to do almost anything in court and that I would be an awful lawyer because I'm bad at being politically correct.

As the trial begins, the jury is instructed by the judge to not form an opinion about the verdict before the entire case has been presented to us, but I always have problems doing what I'm told.

Some people make up excuses, but I just told the truth when the judge asked me questions about my ability to serve on a jury. I didn't get thrown in jail because there is no law against snark.

I went to jury duty a couple of weeks ago and had to endure the usual parade of excuse spewing jackasses.

One of the few good things about having most people not give a shit about your paintings is that you can go back and paint on top of a piece that was previously considered finished without hearing any cries go up that you're destroying a masterpiece.

So as I bathe in the deafening silence of my fan's adoration, I've decided to do some work on this older painting starting with laying down new white gesso for a neutral ground to paint on and penciling in the shapes of some letters.
