i ♥ dan - a daily sketchblog by one, dan pinto: 2008

123008

went to the museum to sketch.
here's a page from today. there are others. this one is prob the best.

watched a documentary on religion.

One thing i like about America is that religion has to take part in a free market. In other countries, church and state are one entity but, in the US, without (most of) that funding, religions compete for souls. It make more easily apparent, at least to me, the hucksterish nature of the whole deal.

I bet you like to fuck but you love to argue,
Poke a hole into my chest and pull my heart through,
Up to my room for cigarettes and cartoons,
Or we can sit right here and try and guard these barstools.
