Edit: Sorry, I wrong this back on the 7th and then accidentally left it as a draft. Mea culpa. I’m a panelist at the upcoming SL Comic Con FanX, April 17th to 19th at the Salt Palace. Here’s my schedule: 4/17 2:00 pm: Religion in Science Fiction and Fantasy 4/18 2:00 pm: Lovecraft and Poe: What…
The Ancient of Days just got ancienter.
It’s the message that every artist dreads receiving: At the gallery displaying some of your work, a little old man lost his balance and stumbled into the table displaying some of your work, causing two of your pieces to tumble to the floor and break. (Details may be a bit specific.) The two pieces in…
The face behind it all.
So I’m a guest at the upcoming Salt Lake ComicCon Fan Xperience, and was asked for a good quality headshot — in contrast to what I’d given them last time, which was (a) pitifully small, and (b) nearly a decade old. There just aren’t many recent pictures of me, and of the ones that exist,…
Movies Seen Recently: Invasion of the Saucer-Men, Supersonic Man, Krrish
Invasion of the Saucer-Men (1957) — The best thing about this movie is the alien costume design, and the best this about the alien costume design is that it looks nifty on the poster. In real life, not so much. This B-movie has got all of the standard elements — necking teens, incredulous policemen, traveling…
Skull on a Stick!
This is something I made as a display piece for my table at LTUE. That’s right, I’m finally getting around to taking and posting pictures a month after the public unveiling. Just be glad that you’re getting something, okay? And while we’re at it, here’s a work in progress. This and the next couple of…
Movies Seen Recently: Despicable Me 2, Planet of Dinosaurs, Ender’s Game
Despicable Me 2 (2013) — If only all terrific movies got a sequel this solid. It’s probably not as good as the first one (I can’t recall any single line as memorable as “It’s so fuzzy I’m gonna die!”), and there was a definite predictability to the concept of the sequel beeing Gru getting a…
Movies Seen Recently: Hello, Dolly!, AE: Apocalypse Earth, Big Trouble in Little China
Hello, Dolly! (1969) — Possibly the most uniformly enjoyable musical ever made: The comedy is actually funny, the songs are catchy, the dance choreography is witty (oh hey! I never realized Gene Kelly directed this!), and the pace never flags, by which I mean that there isn’t an irrelevent and interminable dance sequence 4/5 of…
Get your Empire here!
Empire of the ‘B’s is available now on Amazon (currently only third-party, but you take what you can get). Also, here’s a glowing review at The Register.
New artwork at Pandemonium Art Gallery
If you go to the Art Stroll in Ogden tomorrow night, you can see four thingies of mine on display at Pandemonium Art Gallery for the first time: “The Siren”: “Savant”: “The Angel of the High Places”: “Halo”:
LTUE: Domination is complete!
Remember that I mentioned that I was to be moderator on five of the six panels I’m on at LTUE? Ha! Thanks to someone else’s scheduling conflict, I am now moderator on ALL SIX panels! KNEEL BEFORE ME, SON OF JOR-EL!!
