A little bit different this time (not as specifically a SyFy-style creature movie), but fun nonetheless. I haven’t posted this one for sale yet; I’m making a new arrangement to have them directly printed from orders here on the website, but I’m still battling out the technical details. Stay tuned! (Next up: Circus of the…

Halloween Epicness
In the SLC area and looking for something to do on the Friday before Halloween? I’ll be here, displaying art (including the recent B-movie posters): See you there.
New B-Movie Poster: Nazi Sharks
Update #1: I now have an account at Society 6 for ordering prints of these posters, as well as uploading them to DeviantArt and enabling print orders. (For some reasons, CafePress isn’t allowing me to select poster prints still — if that’s your preferred venue, stay tuned.) Update #2: However, both Society 6 and Redbubble…
A New Venture: B-Movies That Never Were
My woodcut print sales at Salt Lake Comic Con were underwhelming. Not surprising: They were priced as appropriate for hand-pulled prints from a woodcut block, not as mechanical reproductions from Kinko’s, and as such they were a high-priced item compared to most of the art displayed around me. I was casting around for some kind…
Welcome, SLCCers!
If you picked up my card at Salt Lake Comic Con, welcome! I’m in the process of setting up an Etsy shop, so you can get the woodcuts you saw at SLCC and others in the future. If you want to know when the Etsy shop is up and running, leave a comment on this…
Salt Lake Comic Con this weekend!
I’ll be at Salt Lake Comic Con this Thursday, Friday and Saturday. They’ve only got me on minimal panel duty: Thursday @ 2pm: Self-Fulfilling Prophecies: Are Dystopian Stories Dangerous? (with James Dashner, Cameron Dayton, Mikki Kells, L.E. Modesitt, Aneeka Richins — I’m moderating, too) Saturday @ 7pm: Horror: The Art of Scaring People in Comics, Films, and Books (with Jason A. Anderson, Michaelbrent Collings, Cori…
Movies Seen Recently: The Dirty Dozen, Amadeus: The Director’s Cut, Man in the Moon
The Dirty Dozen (1967) – They’re rough! They’re tough! (Except Donald Sutherland.) They’re filthy! This movie set the standard of the “unorthodox fighting force” war movies for decades to come. I watched it with my thirteen-year-old daughter, who stayed through the entire running time and when it was done, said, “That was a very good…
What’s in a name? Puh-lenty.
Will I ever get bored of zeroing in on the “unique” names of Utah and the environs? There’s no sign of it as of yet. Here are the highlights of another hefty list of local families: Aleesa (female) Alexus (female) Amee (female) Angye (female) Annistin (female) Bowie (male) Braden (male) Brayden (male) Brenden (male) Carin (female)…
Movies Seen Recently: Strange Invaders, The 5th Wave, The Creation of the Humanoids
Strange Invaders (1983) – I don’t normally post any sort of review of movies that I don’t manage to finish, but in the case of Strange Invaders I’ll make an exception. the premise of the movie — aliens take over a small town in the 1950s and keep in unchanged for decades — could be…
More local names!
In my professional duties, I have opportunity to run across long lists of names of local individuals and their families. Now, you all know my predilection for documenting the, um, “creative” names (or the standard names (mis)spelled “creatively”) in this corner of the world, and brother, this list was a doozy. It also gave genders, which…
