the dougie diaries.

my father is a genius. he's been keeping an illustrated diary for over 30 years. i could preface these samples of it with my usual platitudes and hyperbole, but i think they speak for themselves. these are circa 2003, 2004. 30+ years, dozens of normal-sized blank journals filled up like this, with colored pencil, pen, and clippings, comprising thousands of entries. can you imagine? i dont think anyone could imagine them until they've seen them. so here we go.

ps - i have ascribed titles to these entries; doug does not title them.
