"So, why did you draw all of these people?" you might be wondering.

First, of course, me - despite my Jack-o-lantern smile (NOT "meth mouth" - my upper teeth spread out 'cause my lateral incisors never sprouted + I was too poor for braces). I drew me so people'd know what I look like, as I can't get copies of prison photos, and the ones they take make me look like a "brain-eating convict", according to Sean.

Sean? He's got a blog here too, /5254/sean-riker/. I drew in, based on a photo of him from when he was in a Fed. prison, because it was a damn good photo, he's got a tragic life story that I greatly empathize with, and he's what Nicki in Australia would have me call a "right solid mate!" :)

As for Lurch, he was my "cellie" before Sean; that is, Lurch was in the cell that led out into the small vestibule connecting our two cells to the hallway our cells were on. [diagram of where the cells are] Lurch was an alright guy, funny, but not too quick upstairs. We are friendly + got along. I'm doing a case for him. Figured I'd draw him for practice and for his girlfriend.

Bill Clinton? The deluded "liberal" wrote an excellent autobiography, My Life, which debunked some misperceptions I had about his character + abilities, yet still reveals him to be blinded by his isms, as, maybe, we all are.

Our warden; I drew him because I could, and wanted you to see a deluded "conservative". In an article in the Boscobel Dial (see boscobeldial.net), he revealed in an article about him becoming warden that he's a Psych. major from University Wisc.-Madison (i.e. B.F. Skinner's stomping grounds), a church-goer, fitness fanatic, with a couple daughters and a wife. He looks kind, right? In his own mind, he is. In OUR reality, he cosigns staff's abuse, runs a mental-terrorism facility, and condones physical, sexual, and mental abuse on a daily basis.

Sean's daughter cleanses our palate. She's just too cute, so I drew her. Let's hope the world lets her continue being cute...

Hope ya like!
