Me and My Pioneer Rabbit, At the Last Supper


December 12, 2012 bureau original, I like to draw, pioneer rabbit

My pioneer rabbit and I don't usually get very biblical, but after feasting so much over the holidays we decided to reenact the original feast: the last supper. Strangely enough, none of our dinner guests showed up, so it was a sad affair made brighter only by the uneaten mandarin oranges we had bought for the occasion. Better luck next time, rabbit.

Me and My Pioneer Rabbit, Cow Tipping


November 19, 2012 bureau original, I like to draw, pioneer rabbit

This has got to be one of my pioneer rabbit's more hair brained ideas. I told him "we're not auditioning for 'Jackass'" but he paid me no heed. So at dusk we drove out to the fields to find ourselves some cows and do ourselves some tipping.

Me and My Pioneer Rabbit, Amusement Park Casualties


November 5, 2012 bureau original, I like to draw, pioneer rabbit

The oldest amusement park in the world, Tivoli Gardens, has it's charm and glamour. But when a high-flying ride to see the cityscape take a turn for the worse, my rabbit discovers the downside to not meeting the height requirement for "those rides". That will teach him to sneak in under my trench coat.

Royal coat of arms shield with bunnies and hearts and banners unfurling held by my pioneer rabbit, for the Bureau of Betterment.

Me and My Pioneer Rabbit, Infiltrating the Danish Army


October 22, 2012October 22, 2012 bureau original, I like to draw, pioneer rabbit, this is a test

Apparently being accepted into the Danish Army is harder than it looks, even though the country is the size of a golf course and there is no draft. So my pioneer rabbit did the only thing he could, when he felt the call to guard the Queen's castle - became a fuzzy Danish Army Hat, the next best thing to actually being a soldier.

Me and My Pioneer Rabbit, Messaging Via Bottle


September 21, 2012 bureau original, I like to draw, pioneer rabbit

It started out innocent enough - a quest to correspond with the unknown, an empty wine bottle, and...my pioneer rabbit inadvertently getting propped into the glass vial instead of the message we can composed. I suppose I'm glad I really corked that bottle good, but I sure hope he doesn't get seasick.

Pioneer Rabbit Hits it Big!

CD cover for Chris Q. Murphy and the Fiendish Thingies single "Dog Track Song" as well as b-side "Truant Heart".

My pioneer rabbit is moving on up in the world by booking his first official gig: gracing the CD cover of Chris Q. Murphy’s single “The Dog Track Song”. Now, how do we parlay this into getting the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine? Thoughts?

Maybe one day my pioneer rabbit will grace the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine for his wild shenanigans rocking out at Roskilde Festival or touring with the Breeders. Take that, Lady Gaga, David Bowie, Mick Jagger and Britney Spears!
Crazier characters have gotten the cover of Rolling Stone. Why not?

Me and My Pioneer Rabbit, Sidecar Sidekicks


August 17, 2012 bureau original, I like to draw, pioneer rabbit

Every once in a while it's nice to take a low-key adventure. No trips to the moon, no marauding pirate ships, no wild safari close calls. Just a nice ride in a safe sidecar to see the sights. The thing is, nobody tells you that scarf length is a key factor in disaster when operating open-air vehicles. Yes, foiled by a scarf. You'd think we were amateurs.

Me and My Pioneer Rabbit, In Outer Space


July 23, 2012 bureau original, I like to draw, pioneer rabbit

After watching Charles and Ray Eames short movie Factors of 10, my pioneer rabbit wanted to see the actual scale of the universe for himself. No small task, but my little bunny has powers of determination not found in many man or beast. All he said when he returned was "You won't believe the view from up there!".

Me and My Pioneer Rabbit, Playing Marco Polo


June 29, 2012 bureau original, I like to draw, pioneer rabbit

You would THINK that after so many mishaps UNDERWATER that my pioneer rabbit would be a little more cautions. But when the neighborhood plastic flamingos invited him over for a pool party, he fell for it hook, line and sinker. It was only after the neighbors called that I was able to go fish him out from a very ill-fated game of Marco Polo. Rabbit, will you ever learn?
