My Personal Suffering!
People think I have it easy- Looks, Talent and Money. True, True and True, but there's a downside to fame and fortune.
I've had to move eight times last year alone!

Toy Time!
My newly designed toy has been produced!
Sadly, they changed the original "Mute Handyman" character into an Indian.
They also went with a different name. My suggestions of "Kill Or Be Killed,""The Last Face You'll Ever See," or
"I Promise I Won't Eat You," were all ignored.

Happy Easter (from daughter Kieran and me)!
I had to count it as my Birthday gift from her otherwise she probably wouldn't have posed.
"That was the creepiest thing I've EVER done!" she grimiced afterwards.

Professor Mitch
Excitement! Thrills! Yawns!
If you happen to find yourself on the NIU campus in DeKalb this afternoon I'll be giving a "Juror Talk," being that I'm the Juror that selected the art for their newest gallery exhibit.
If you happen to find yourself on the NIU campus in DeKalb this afternoon I'll be giving a "Juror Talk," being that I'm the Juror that selected the art for their newest gallery exhibit.
I have no scripted insights planned, but will be happy to have my brain picked.
Guessing I first will answer, "Who are YOU to judge?!!" from the unselected students.
Also, "You SUCK!" is not a question.

Juried exhibition of work by current NIU School of Art graduate & undergraduate students, sponsored by Blick Art Materials.
Juror's talk & awards presentation Thursday, March 22, 4:30-6:00

Things Aren't THAT bad!
From the book "Do Your Ears Hang Low?"
A popular kid-friendly guide to see if your farm animals should be put on antidepressants.
Sadly, it ends with Bossie "falling fast asleep."
And now it's way past your bedtime too!
Book of the Day!
Continuing with "All Things Sweet," where postings containing risque double entendres, hidden meanings and shocking subtexts have been saved for later in the week.
This is the Family Values Fun Zone!
Today is "Sweet" Day!
"Why won't anyone play with me?" a dispondont Mitch pines.
Besides the fact that I'm wearing a dress while sitting on my front porch.
"It's because of all your naughty postings," my kitty answered.
"Why don't you take one day to be Sweet instead of Sour?"
"I WILL Mr. Mittens, I WILL!"
Dress For Success!
Some kids go to a Hot Topic and get a reissue Ramones, Clash or Black Flag t-shirt.
Kieran goes in her dad's room and unearths a t-shirt that I actually purchased in 1978 at the premiere of Dawn of the Dead when it opened in Boulder, Colorado.
It's been folded up for about 30 years waiting for this moment!

It's simply a COMFORT issue!
It's called CYBER-BULLYING, and it's ILLEGAL!
So STOP with the nicknames!
From the Archives!
Art I stumble upon in the deep recesses of the computer that I had long forgotten about.

| Brought to you by the most exciting book of our time! Amazon gushes...
"The book contains 250 tattoo designs, the best of O’Connell's 3 sets of tattoo flash titled Stewed, Screwed and Tattooed (2001), Done While Drunk (2002), and From the Bottom of the Barrel (2006). Each limited edition set sold for $100, and is now out of print, and this volume collects all the images in one easy-to-flip-through book. Mitch O'Connell's art is reminiscent of the Old School tattoo art, from masters such as Sailor Jerry Collins and Don Ed Hardy, but uses more contemporary themes with a distinctive style."
Why not order it today?

| Pretty much a "personal time" Mitch recreation. |
