Sometimes the problem with having a brain is having to live inside it.

Worry has a remarkable ability to feed itself. One thought becomes another, which becomes another, until you’ve worried about the original problem, every possible consequence, and several disasters that haven’t happened yet. Why don’t we replace the whole troublesome mess with a few scoops of ice cream?

If you’re going to lose your mind, you might as well have dessert.

Regret Au Gratin - painting of a lady regretting her decision to eat those cheesy taters. Martin Luther himself thought his IBS was caused by demons...here they represent the lactose intolerance this poor lady suffers from.

Some regrets are foreseeable. That doesn’t necessarily stop us.

There are foods we know we’ll pay for later, but sometimes the promise of potatoes covered in bubbling cheese outweighs concern over future suffering.

Regret Au Gratin captures that unfortunate moment when pleasure gives way to consequence. Martin Luther himself attributed some of his intestinal troubles to the work of demons. Here they return to torment another poor soul who probably knew better than to eat all that cheese.

No regrets. Until there are.

Frantic Cries and Frito Pies - a painting of a woman screaming in anguish over a bad of fritos preparados.

Some problems are bigger than snacks. There are moments when everything feels like too much. You cry. You scream. You assume the worst. Eventually you get hungry.

Frantic Cries and Frito Pies pairs overwhelming anguish with the modest consolation of Fritos preparados—a bag of corn chips loaded with cheese, chili, jalapeños, and whatever else might make things slightly more tolerable.

It probably won’t fix anything. But it is a Frito pie.

Time is short, but don’t rush your dinner.

Tiempo Poco y Fideo Loco grew out of my collaboration with San Antonio poet Anthony Flores for a series pairing existential fears with the traditional and celebratory foods that make being alive a little more enjoyable.

Fideo loco is a distinctly South Texas comfort food—a heartier relative of Mexican sopa de fideo, typically loaded with additions like ground beef, beans, and potatoes. Its humble ingredients and working-class roots have become part of what makes the dish so proudly San Antonio.

We’re all killing time until time kills us. Might as well have another bowl.

Miedo Desnudo (naked fear and menudo) painting of two screaming skeletons representing primal fear caused by the foot of a pig reaching out of a bowl of mexican menudo soup.

Fear is easier to face with something good to eat.

Miedo Desnudo y Menudo—“Naked Fear and Menudo”—grew out of conversations with Anthony the Poet, my Mexican American collaborator from San Antonio, who helped develop many of the English and Spanish titles in this series. And yes, it rhymes!…in Spanish.

The series pairs existential anxieties with the foods, rituals, and celebrations we use to make being alive a little more tolerable. Here, naked primordial fear meets a comforting bowl of menudo.
