A VERY LATE VIDEO

I am releasing this video extremely late.  I forgot I had it.  It's still a cool video, whether the proper season or not.  Enjoy!

New York in Five Clips

I spent a weekend in NYC last week while attending an important event.  These are my spare clips.  I found that they make a nice vignette of the city.

Late Night Coffee: Podcast #2



Nature Documentary Trailer


Another thing that's been in the works since last year, a non-traditional nature documentary.  Here's a simple trailer I've holding on to for a while.  This project is on the back burner but not forgotten!

Sarajevo

This song I made a while ago stands as my favorite of everything I've released on soundcloud.  It's dark and dystopic.  It feels like it's at a higher level than anything from the Batoid album. Sarajevo fits into my yet unfinished Lost Taco album.  The music video is coming soon.

The Dirigible of Ocean City: A Screenplay

Up above is the working title for my screenplay in progress, I'm happy to announce.  This is a story that's long been in development.  The initial ideaspark (oh right, I am going to begin coining german-like compound words) was in the summer of 2016.

The initial idea came about after I'd asked out two girls from work in the same day.  At the same time I was considering entering some artwork into a show in Ocean City, MD.  When I was thinking about what I'd like to paint, I pictured a dirigible flying over a stormy inlet in OC.  From there I came up with a basic story about an artist-turned-pilot who was caught in a love triangle leading up to his big launch.  I only dated one, by the way.

Anyway, life got busy and other story ideas came along.  The story got shelved along the way.  I also went to film school.  While there I learned I could, in fact, outline and write a well developed story in screenplay form.  And so, wanting to get a movie in the works, post-filmschool, this one re-emerged.

I will be posting as I go to update my progress.  You can follow along in the creative process and see the story take shape in front of your own eyes.  I will post excerpts, outlines (maybe, don't want to give spoilers), and whatever else I think is interesting along the way.

Anything found interesting feel free to share.  I don't think it needs to be said that you can freely share posts from a public blog.  I'm just saying because it's appreciated.

So, for an update so far, I have made a preliminary outline, one that still has plenty of development to go.  The story itself is fairly set.  I've got the main characters, major plot points, and settings set.  I've got a list of influences and inspirations down.  The details and other elements I will go over in my next post.

I am certainly excited to dive into this process.  I hope you will find it interesting and as exciting as I do.  If not, just wait until the movie comes out, or until the finished project is written.

Launch the CABRs!

A small collection of sticky doodle art.  Work gets slow in January so this is a compulsive anti-boredom response (CABR).

1998ish

Happy New Year.  To start off 2018 I'm throwing it back twenty years to when I was 4 years old learning MS paint.  Here's the type of thing I would always draw back then: my stylized version of outer-space.  Often times it included a white shuttle type craft, in this contemporary recreation it is not included.

Perhaps I should submit this piece to MoMA.
