The Site

The MuseStand is a humor comics and satire website about science and people (especially kids), but I revel in exploring other areas too including technology, medicine, and the future.  I aim to entertain, mainly, although I sometimes feel compelled to probe themes requiring careful reexamination.  After all, we're human and prone to illogical logic... like visiting this site!  What are you thinking?   

The Motivation

From the many great books I read as a kid, especially Dr. Seuss, I've always held a deep affinity for writing and drawing.  The MuseStand satisfies a longstanding need to engage my right hemisphere... what better way to excite otherwise stuporous neurons than by creating for this site?   

The Method

A little imagination, exercise, a computer, a drawing tablet, Adobe, paper and pencil (sometimes), and a 5 am daily start time.  With these tools, anything is possible, including rebuilding civilization.  Well, almost... a lathe and a McMaster-Carr catalog would be useful too!

I'm a science junkie!  I've finished graduate level coursework in engineering, math, and all facets of human studies (anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, behavior, etc.)... and I LOVE exploring the lighter side of these topics.  Quiet time, design, and coffee are my vices.  I hope my perspective offers a unique take on things.
