My favorite creature of the night
I really love working with video and motion graphics, and making trailers for great comics is a great way to combine all my creative passions!
I am open to working with artists and publishers that want to find a way to stand out in a sea of mediocrity.

I have a dark secret. I collect toys.
Not just any toys, mind you, elegant toys.

It’s incredibly pricey, but man, the detail and craftsmanship is stunning.
I had never heard of threeA prior to seeing this, but I am definitely checking them out now…
So I sat down this past weekend and started reworking alot of the short stories I had sitting around on my hard drive. Writing has always been something that came in spurts for me. I would have periods where I could churn out 2000 words in a couple of hours without even trying, then other days when it was all I could do to create a paragraph. It would frustrate the hell out of me, and this was supposed to be something I did for fun.
I recently rediscovered the Lester Dent pulp formula, and I thought I would put it to the test. I would take some of my older stories and reworking them to fit this framework. I was very surprised at how fast I was able to turn out a story. The pulp formula is 6000 words, broken down in the 1500 word blocks, with certain actions and plot points laid out along the way.
I gotta say, it was a lot of fun reworking some of these stories. It felt like I was breathing new life into them.
I will put them up in a couple of weeks. Until then, I am writing every day, even if its just a little bit…
I love this so much!
“The Walking Dead” Demo Reel 2010 from Stargate Studios on Vimeo.
Damn, I had no idea they used this much CG, and so seamlessly. Stargate Studios is really using CG as it should be, set dressing and extension…
I want a Launchpad now…
This is the coolest thing I have seen in a long time…
I got the initial galleries uploaded, but I am nowhere near finished. Still missing a few pages, but overall I really like the look and feel so far.
I am reworking a lot of my rough drafts to get them online in the Tales section. I also updated The Cthulhu Key website, as well as Astronoir.com.
After dealing with some script kiddies continually trying to hack into the sites, I went ahead and completely redesigned them from the ground up to
remove the vulnerabilities. Part of my plan for this year is to refine my focus, so getting the three main sites I support streamlined and easier to maintain
will go a long ways to achieving that goal.
I will also start uploading videos for some of the promotional work I have done. I am thinking about taking on very select promotional projects to do this year as well.
It’s not something I would normally do, but I am wanting to get more involved in the pulp community. I would certainly be open for trade for as well. I will be posting some examples of book and magazine covers I have worked up.
I think its going to be a good year, as long as those Mayan’s keep to themselves…
A lot of reasons led me to reboot the site.
But I think the biggest reason that compelled me was that I had gotten too general in the scope of what I was doing.
From studying and analyzing visual effects, practical effects, writing, directing, filming, audio, I was lost in the woods.
2012 is a year of a renewed focus on what I am wanting to accomplish, which is telling my stories.
That is a very broad statement, so lets refine it by saying I am telling my pulp inspired stories thru words and film.
And getting help. I am surrounding myself with some very experienced and motivated people who share a similar dream, and we are making things happen.
I have many short stories that I have written over the years, but for some reason they have never seen the light of day.
I think it’s time to change that…
