The entire reason I started this blog was so that prospective people who would want to work with me, or just read my stuff, would be able to get a solid handle on who I was. This complete character study would of course come through reading my thoughts on comics, movies, music and my life [...]

I love words. Some words just have a great feel. Lithe. Pseudonym. Anachronistic. They are all cool sounding, and looking, words. I can remember being a kid and just looking through a dictionary. Words have always fascinated me, and apparently I have also always been a huge nerd, honestly, what type of kid sits around [...]

Stephen King’s partnership with Marvel just seems to keep getting stronger. He wrote a few pages for an X-Men comic back in the day, my brother has it, Kitty Pride comes into contact with some creepy death figure. It’s dark.
Then Marvel step it up, they start pseudo-adapting The Dark Tower into comics. It becomes a [...]

I was asked if I would ever publish under another name, under a pseudonym. I thought about it, and no fucking way. I could not slave over a book and then not bask in the accolades, awards and money that it would obviously yield. That would be like sleeping with a gorgeous girl in the [...]

I’ve been gone for two weeks. I’ve travelled many a click to go right up the Australian coast, right back down it, got over 2000 clicks done in one day between planes and automobiles, no trains though, and caught up with many people. Drank a few litres of gin, some port and ate a lot [...]

Having finished my purloined idea, I find myself floating in a sea of uncertainty.
When I’m working on a project I am completely wrapped up and immersed in it. It is just about all I can think about, and then when I am done, I find myself mentally wandering. I know I still have to proof [...]

I went to Supanova on the weekend in Sydney. It was an interesting affair, my first con since one in the mid/late 90’s. The thing that really hit me was the smells. It was like an International House of Food, that has gone off five months after a zombie apocalypse. I have no idea why [...]

I have holidays coming up and I’m kind of stockpiling jobs that I want to do during them. I have two weeks and I’ll be spending the first week in one town and the second week in another, so planning is essential. I will not be at home with my usual array of toys. I [...]

I bought some art. I don’t think I’ve ever bought art before. I’ve bought posters, plenty of posters, but never any art, and especially not real art.
I’ve mentioned Mitch Breitweiser before. He’s just a guy, you know, a guy drawing Captain America: The Chosen and getting himself listed on the Wizard Top Ten Artists List, [...]

I spent my afternoon rocking out Excel, which means I was slaving on a laptop, not writing, and secretly hating all things to do with reports, even those of the TPS variety. Copying a cell, for its specific Validation, and then pasting it into a different file. Once in that file I have to spread [...]
