My Occupy LA Arrest

My name is Patrick Meighan, and I’m a husband, a father, a writer on the Fox animated sitcom “ Family Guy â€, and a member of the Unitarian U...

personal update

It's been a while since I shared pictures of me and the girls. I don't use Facebook much anymore (beyond posting that I've blogged here) so I think this is the best place to give an update...

A few photos from Thanksgiving and a couple from yesterday (we got and decorated out…

Staying safe (update)

Thank you for your kind words, your support, your commiseration, and your concern. As it stands now, we plan on staying where we are. My parents offered to help with the costs of moving if we need to do it quickly. For that, I am deeply grateful. Rather than make another…

Staying safe

Note: If you know us offline, please keep the fact that we will be moving to yourselves. I want my children to enjoy where we live with a feeling of stability. We just got settled and they need some time to rest. Thanks. :-)

Only once before (that I recall) have I posted something on this blog that wasn't my writing. I'm not sure what in particular moved me about this post (there are many things), but I find it so completely in line with how I feel that I wanted to share it here./… Read full post »
Family legend has it I was in the car, maybe a year or two old, when my father picked up Andrew Young to bring him to Wellesley College for some kind of activist event. This may not even be family legend but might be something I conjured up as a child…

(For those not using twitter, #OWS is the hashtag used in tweets about "Occupy Wall St.")

Today I read an article on the Freakonomics website about the Occupy Wall St (#OWS) activities that made me really angry. The tone was paternalistic and condescending in the extreme. I had planned tonight to simp…

commission

After publishing this blog post, I'm going to my new art studio. I now share this fantastic space, just above the State Theater in downtown Portland, with five other people. My scheduled time slots are exclusively for me. In all the ways that matter, this is my own studio.

In the '90s,… Read full post »

creation of "germination"

One of the many, many areas fascinating me about going public with the drawings and paintings I'm making is the different ways people want to interact with me about them. I find it unsettling but also such an honor when people ask me questions. I'm surprised every time, too, about what…

Talking with my closest friends I keep hearing myself saying: "It's so easy to tell you to do just what you want, but doing that myself feels too spoiled and irresponsible." For decades I have loved the process of asking someone to tell me their most unrealistic dreams, then walking with…

new york city

It may take a while before I pull together some of the "real" blog posts that are developing in my mind after this trip to the city, but I thought I'd at least share some of the photos with a thought or two (or, knowing me, twelve). I'm still needing space…

Seems there hasn't been a way, yet, for me to strike a balance with my online life, my personal life, and my needs (and unique logistical limitations) as a single parent. Many of you know I have tried without success to just cut out all online socializing. This leads to an…

Maine

There is a shapeless buzz cut and a mousy grey brown hair color that says "Maine" to me. Terribly overweight children so fat their skin looks like it might split open at their cheeks and upper arms. A lot of rosy pale skin, red bumps from vitamin deficiencies, and teeth so…
