Walking Dead Head

I was never really on the bandwagon of watching The Walking Dead, but it's honestly because I'm an HD snob (non-HD on an HD TV looks like headache) and AMC wasn't an HD channel for us for a long time. My first exposure to the show was the last half of the season 2 finale, and since then I've grown to love it. My wife and I were finally able to see all of season 2 through AMC's marathon last weekend, but since we have two young kids we DVRed it and had our own mini marathons. 


Anyway, we finally are caught up with the series and I cannot get it out of my head. My gift/curse in life is that, no matter the subject, if I'm thinking about it for more than a day or so, I just start generating ideas about it. Pages and pages of ideas in some instances. So now I'm designing fences and obstacles to fortify and survive the obviously impending zombie apocalypse. 


Because I clearly don't have anything better to do with my time!

Back to the Bloggery.

This is the official blog of me, Matt Gockowski. I had abandoned this for some time, but I recently have felt like returning to it, so here I am. My aim here is to post some art and talk about things that are important to me, like parenting, comic books, sculpture, politics, the environment, education, etc.


The name of this blog, The Limestone Cowboy, comes from some idiots who, in an attempt to convince the world that science is fraud and religion is true, tried to present a cowboy boot found in the desert with a "fossilized" foot inside as evidence that carbon dating and the fossil record are misleading. Of course, it isn't, and the world is full of consistent evidence that fossils are millions of years old, so I'm making fun of them. The illustration is my playing on the name, which makes me think of a cowboy made of limestone who gradually erodes as he shuffles and grinds through the world. Anyway...

To get back into the swing of the interwebs, here's one of my recent photographs, taken in Minneapolis:

Also of note today, I just painted my 3-year-old daughter's finger nails. I'm quite well versed in braiding hair at this point, but painting nails is new to me.
