Hello, Charlie. Would be cool if it was followed by Napalm and Agent Orange.

Greetings from the crypt of the shadow arts. Sorry people, dealing with some terrible technological mishaps that has me beaming my brain goo matter to you from the clankity clank of a rather robust PC keyboard. My mac laptop, after years of infidelity with chaos and bastardom, has left me. God rest her whorish soul. So now, hopefully I'll be able to recover most of my files she left with. Just because we are divorced doesn't entitle you to half, baby.

Did some boards a week or so ago for short Hello, Charlie.

Short film, dirtbag work. Here:




Sum up
Note well: Insults and approaching me with no ettiquette and respect for my time is a good way to be ignored. I'm a Martian, so enter my realm with caution .


"Excellent. Yes. Short film. Twenty frames a day...yes... my dayrate is 120 + VAT...for FREE?
And for when?  With updates on the hour? Sure, wait there, I'm just charging 
up my Illudium PU-36 Explosive Space Modulator."

WAR IS OUR DESTINY

Quite old but hey, still a good watch, thought I'd share it with ya:



Sum up,
"I seduced the daughters of man and made them nephilim/ I demanded human sacrifice from the rest of them..."

Hooked On a.) You b.) Phonics c.) Class A Drugs

Designing seems to be the hot chick in school at the moment and I'm getting some side-boob. Album art for Candy Rose, i think it's an EP. A little Photoshop witchery but I think it turned out ok.





Sum up,
Totally unfair what happened to Japan and Haiti. Just really unfair.

Labours of the Week

This week...been quite busy. Too many things to remember. Just thought i'd slot this entry to keep true to my vows. Storyboarding a cute short for some dudes somewhere in the UK [I say 'cute' because the have those carbon copy curs you call children, and 'somewhere' because they are outside LANDAN]. Well get it while it's hot, dirtbags! It won't be free for long. Matter of fact it isn't. Just feeling real generous and brushing off the dust off the pen But that's the least important of my week's events.

Had to build a holder page for One More Sun, a Film Picture company for long time Creative General Brian Taylor and conjured up a logo out of the deep recesses. Aparrently Mr. Taylor liked it, even said many of his industry friends said it was real unique and professional grade. Flick of the wrist, click of the mouse. And I am not even a Graphic Designer if you were to judge me by my University qualifications. Not haughty, just a matter of fact. Have a look at the holder page I uploaded, just something to put on the front end until something more permanent is erected:

ONE MORE SUN website

And in meeting up with the General we also discussed my script we are working on; he gave suggestions and it has already evolved into a behemoth. I'm almost worried my friends with have me admitted or become overly worried. More soon.

Ooo, yes. Check out Slick Flicks, doing some comic/photo work for Maria, it's founder from Romania. Cool lady, and she has revitalised my lust for the graphic novel. Solomon Kane anyone?


"What in God's Holy name... Oh it's that heathen drug-addled strumpet Kate Moss. 
The devil has reanimated her dead bones and career!"

Check out Slick Flick here:

Currently working on a photostory. Something to do with Justin Beiber. Yeah, don't ask. I just found out who this 'craze' is- shows I'm becoming an old man. Then even young, I was never one to jump on the bandwagon. No offense intended. 

Harbinger the ebook is 98.9 percent done.... exporting the last clip. Will keep you posted. And that's that.

Sum up,
Website is done and will be up in a few days. Oh totally forgot about that. Peace!

"Harbinger, War-Bringer..."

It's all coming to a spear's head now. I've been slaving over an ebook for a while, and it's about 95% done. I had designed the pages previously with heavy graphics, but, being the researcher I am, read up on ePub format. Apparently, it's not the most flattering format in existence; text and images have to be placed inline- text then image then text etc. Here's what I'd love it to look at, but apparently the technology hasn't caught up with my brain:


So had to reformat the itch. I had to compromise the visual look things but in the end it looks good. On the plus side as well ebooks allow multimedia to be inserted. Video in an ebook? Totally an affront to God.

Blasphemy aside, the book will contain a three-piece animation as well as a finale Harbinger, animation I did back in 2008.



The book of poems should be a good read; will let you all know more. It's a self portrait of myself in many ways, so many of the videos and images depict me in some sense or the other. Here's one of the sketches I did to be used in the animated depiction of the poem Throne.


Few dabs of ink and pixels later:


Went through more alterations in Photoshop. Made my visage of that of a Zulu warrior. Self- aggrandizing behemoth. I look how Vinnie Paz sounds. "It's on now, I'm coming at you with machetes and hatchets/..."

Will be finishing this by next week so let's get it done.

Sum up,
Putting things to rest very soon. You can say I have become very effective at it.

The "Suit & Bone" Short Film Electronic Press Kit is years in the making

The Suit & Bone Short Film I directed has been making its rounds in film festivals since its campaign launch in December 2021m and I am...
