POLISHING THE LENS...

My time for reflection is important in order to be able to move forward once again. Since I have been caught in place there is nothing else to do but to take stock of where I have been and what I have done. For me this will open up new paths of beneficial creativity and positive growth enabling new chapters and adventures to be written. I look forward to being able to share them with you soon.

Easter Y'all...

Okay, Easter Bunny, I know I haven't been all that good so far this year, but I've been good enough! Right?!? I'm gonna throw some stuff out there that I think you should put in my Easter basket.



I've been smiling at people and I turn my venomous glare to the ground away from the combustible heads of those weaker than myself. So whaddaya say?!?


I like little fuzzy creatures! YOU'RE a little fuzzy creature! Easter Bunny, I swear I won't eat anymore of those eggs you've been hiding! I'll swear off omelets! Pleeeeeaaaassse???


Alright. Fine! But you just better stay out of my bathtub!
...Got it!?

ROLLER DERBY: Buh-Rownie Buh-Roozers!

Ah, revisions... Orange instead of pink, add a sash, make the skates more skatier and the boobs less Russ Meyer torpedo-y.

Brownie Bruisers!

I love doing team logos! I just have too much fun with them!

ROLLER DERBY: SCHOOL'S BOUT FOR SUMMER!

I've got the gig for the Ft. Myers Derby Girls again! I'm very happy about that! I really missed doing pinup style cartoons for their bout promo posters. Here is the first of mine for the season!

Dr. Alec Holland

AKA the SWAMP THING !!!

That Guy...

Here's a self-portrait from 2006, I think, done with crow-quill pen, brush and india ink. I like hatching and definitely don't do it enough. Hell, I don't even draw enough, hence the 2006 artwork. I'm loathe to initiate any new projects until I get settled in my new apartment. Sounds dumb, probably, but I've got a plan...

"All the time, I say-- with my FISTS!!!"

So I started my Wu Xing Ba Fa (Five Animal Style) Shaolin Gong Fu again today after not doing anything for over a year now. It was really good to see Sifu Tracy Fleming again. Sifu has a great spirit and disposition, very positive in spite of any adversity. 

Class was excellent and I didn't suffer as much as I thought I would after my hiatus. The kicks were definitely my weakest point since I've got these giraffe legs to swing around.

My endurance surprised me but my cardio was as rough as ever. Sometimes I wonder if I have exercise induced asthma. I think after 2 months of steady, diligent practice I'll be back to where I was before I fell off my exercise.

I'm looking forward to this journey again as it's one of my favorites. Remember, to taste sweet you must eat bitter.

Elevate Music 'BROKE CITY' cd party

Local hiphop duo Elevate Music are debuting their disc 'BROKE CITY' at the end of the month.

And the cd cover for 'BROKE CITY.'

"Not As Brightly Lit..."

Well, I revamped the logo layout for the album. My 'negaforest', as I call it, is more of a photographic film negative than a screen negative. It feels better that way. Can't be a complete rip, eh? It makes more sense this way and is more in keeping with the homage to Tales from the Darkside that I'm referencing.

Speaking of which, I've always been completely ensorcelled (believe it...!) by the opening title sequence for this show that I watched as a wee runt. It's completely creepy and chills my blood beautifully. A while back I sought out a possible dvd set of the complete series. I found a bootleg set and when I got it delivered, home and put into my player I was wicked bummed. Not one episode had the opening title sequence!!!

Well, Cthulhu bless the interwebs, because on the old YouTube I found it. And, man, does it still give me the willies...
