June 10, '08: Alright. Updates have been few and far between, here, mostly due to being either: a. way to busy, or b. playing COD4. Plus I've been doing most of the "news" at length in my MySpace blahgue. For updates on things like "what happened between me and Woody Harrelson at Sundance" or "who was at New York Comic Con", check out the blahgue. Also, I've been working on this show called Comic Book Geeks for the past year, and have finally added it to this site. Enjoy!

May 8, '06: Good God, can you smell that? That's the smell of burgeoning success, and the end of my festival run harkening near. Mostly because I'm out of dough for further submittals, but it's been such a fine run, that it shouldn't matter. More festivals would just be dragging things out.

Jan 24, '06: The Film section has been updated with a "new" addition to my Reel. It was shot back in Dec. 2004, but I just found the time to finish putting the music to it (the person I'd originally had do it flaked).
Jan 12, '06: I've been meaning to mention that "Dance, Voldo, Dance" is being featured at the San Jose Museum of Art in the "Heavenly Bodies" exhibition from January 21st through April 9th, 2006.
