Meditations

Short meditations on the live pancake art performed by Dr. Dan the Pancake Man — written for the people the pancakes were made for.

    Blobert. Is that what we decided this guy was named? I'm sure there's a real name somewhere but he'll (she'll? They'll?) always be Blobert to me.

  • Clover

    Sophia, it was so nice to meet you! Your natural enthusiasm was infectious and it was so gratifying that you knew about Anthromancer! If you and your partner are ever free on a Monday night, a group of my dear friends m…

    It's been lovely connecting with you, Po. I was quite grateful you helped us juggle the car that day, and was delighted to return the favor with a bit of pancake art. I would like the chance to try this portrait again…

    This was my very first attempt at a live flash design at a public event. I am fairly pleased with the outcome. The minimal line work and the great big shapes made for an effect that, while this was something of an amate…

    Jelani is one of my best friends. He and I have been connected since middle school. We've been living together since we were 16 or 17. We spent our first five to six years outside, living on our own together, trying to…

  • Tyler

    OK, this one's actually really fun. Obviously it's Randy Marsh from South Park, which, you know, "I didn't hear no bell" is a particularly absurd thing to get as a pancake. But because this pancake was made on the very…

  • RFT Cover

    This is pancake art. This is one of the biggest pancakes I've ever made. It's one of the most challenging, and it took the longest, and it's one that I am most proud of. I had an opportunity to be featured in the local…
