New Art!

I didn’t remember to snap a pic of this one until I was already delivering it to the gallery, so I’m glad my stupid smartphone decided to take a decent picture on its own for once. Called “The Seer,” for obvious reasons.

The new phonebooks headshots are here!

So with at least two new books (and possibly one more) coming out this year, plus Salt Lake Comic Con coming up in September, I decided that it was time to get some updated headshots. And by “updated,” I mean “better than my face cropped out of family portraits or the pics I had my…

Movies Seen Recently: A Fistful of Dollars, Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb, Catch Me If You Can

A Fistful of Dollars (1964) – It’s been so long since I had seen this that all I remembered was, “Clint Eastwood gets the snot kicked out of him at one point.”  It’s hard to remember that, as someone it in one of the extra features on the DVD, the modern action hero — all…

Oh, Utah…

Last night was the Honors Night at the junior high school where Sariah attends.  As I often do when lists of local names are presented, I start browsing for “made-up Mormon” names. There’s a bizarre trend in Utah Mormon culture to give children made-up or creatively misspelled names — but there’s also a certain sameness,…

More New Art

So the last painting was really a technique test. I’ve always hated brushes — I have an ever-so-slight quiver in my hand that keeps me from making smooth strokes — and I probably hadn’t painted anything since I was in classes for my art minor, over twenty-five years ago. Also, JEES I’M OLD. Anyway, what…

New Art

Jane at the Pandemonium Art Gallery is always after me to start painting. “You should paint something!” she says. “I want to see what comes out of your head!” she says. Fine. This is what comes out of my head.   No title yet, but it could end up being named “At Jane’s Insistence.”

New Art: The Angel’s Book

This one isn’t going to show up at the gallery. There’s a benefit auction tonight to buy new camping equipment for the Young Men and Young Women youth groups at the church (their current tents are military surplus that’s older than most of the leaders), and this is what I finished yesterday specifically for that….

Movies Seen Recently: Piranhaconda, Ghoulies, Avengers: Age of Ultron

I think I’ll start doing these posts again, because my opinions are so amazing and stuff. Piranhaconda (2012) – Producer Roger Corman’s follow-up to surprise pop-cult fave Sharktopus (2010) similarly scrapes bottom; Corman has always prided himself on devoting exactly as many resources to a production to get the job done and no more, and since…

Living the Dream!

Well, for most of a week I’ve been living without outside employment. Come, let me share my world with you! I knew going into this that a strict schedule would be important. Otherwise, I’d treat every day like a Saturday, drifting from one thing to another with frequent naps in between.  (That’s not how I…
