First up, yesterday was the official release date for Shared Nightmares, an anthology I co-edited by Steven Diamond. It’s got Larry Correia, Michaelbrent Collings, Howard Tayler, and a bunch of other cool people. More details here. Second up, remember those Christmas ornaments I made a while back? Jane, owner of the Pandemonium Gallery, suggested I…
Halloween Marathon!
Last Friday, I held the annual Halloween movie marathon with the kids (and I’m only telling you about it now because I’m lazy). Well, some of the kids; Alex moved into his own apartment a week ago and is still cleaning it to his satisfaction, and Jason has been working for the past few weeks…
UVU Forum of Horror
Next Wednesday, October 29th, I’ll be participating in the “Forum of Horror” at Utah Valley University, co-hosted by Different Dimensions (UVU’s science fiction and fantasy club) and UVU’s Language and Literature Department.
New art!
This is a piece that I’ve had sitting around since at least last February (I had it as an unpainted work-in-progress at LTUE) because I didn’t know how I wanted to paint it. I had no real title, but I hate seeing artwork labeled “Untitled #22,” so I’m calling it “Sunrise on Channel 7.”
New art: Christmas ornaments!
Christmas is coming, so I’m preparing with this set of Christmas ornaments (available at the Pandemonium Art Gallery in the near future). That’s a nickel for scale in the first pic.
My Salt Lake Comic Con Schedule
I don’t have one. Let me explain. I was only going to be able to attend SLCC on Saturday anyway, as I used up all my vacation on WesterCon* and our family vacation**. And then there were communication problems with the programming staff (they didn’t receive the filled-out panel questionnaire that I sent), so the…
New Tumblog: Mystery Item!
Solely because it amused me momentarily, I created a new Tumblr blog called Mystery Item! Bid Now!, featuring those intriguing objects which people post for sale without knowing exactly what they are.
Snail creature.
Something I drew in church to amuse my ten-year-old. (Now that I’m not in the bishopric, I can sit with my family!) Posted here at the request of someone whom the rust baby was starting to freak out.
New Work: “Rust Baby”
Several months ago the most righteous badass Carter Reid, who had been tapped to run the art show at Salt City Steamfest, pleaded with me to provide some pieces for said art show as he was worried that it was going to end up an anemic embarrassment. I committed to providing three assemblage pieces by the…
Movies Seen Recently: Addams Family Values, Age of Dinosaurs, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington
Addams Family Values (1993) — One of those rare cases in which a sequel (by which I mean something that wasn’t planned before production of the initial movie) is a fitting companion to the original. I’m guessing that Raul Julia’s death in 1994 is the only thing that kept a third theatrical feature from happening…
