Hurricane Harvey, We Yawn in your Direction

By Lindsay Curren | September 7, 2017

Hurricane Irma

And Irma, we don't really give a crap about you, either. Water, Water, Everywhere Twenty-seven TRILLION gallons of water dumped on Southeast Texas in six days? That's what the various reports say.

By Lindsay Curren | August 29, 2016

During the time I've been on the fundraising mission I've continued to do the art for the show and, behind the scenes, to continue researching the issue and writing the essays that will be in the show chapbook.
