It’s Sketch Time!

After a long hiatus of being just a writer I’m going back to filmmaking and I’m starting off by making some sketches.  If you or any of your friends local to Los Angeles are interested in helping out, I’m looking for CREW and ACTORS interested in doing short comedy pieces.  I have several lined up and can use a variety of shapes, sizes, etc.

Hot Off the Press! New Haiku from Three Line Poetry

I’ve been published again and this time I have two haiku appearing in Three Line Poetry issue #11, edited by Glenn Lyvers.

Inside Issue #11 you will find many some shorties-but-goodies tailored for the short-attention spanners of the 21st century.  You will find my two poems (“a wolf eats his prey” and “a leaf falls slowly”) at any of the following venues:

Paperback

Kindle (half price)

Online(free)

Don’t pass up this opportunity to read some great new poetry for free or, for a small sum, in print.

Feel free to view other free issues of Three Line Poetry as well.

3 Poems, 1 Week

A few weeks ago I submitted 23 finished poems to literary magazines all over the country.  As of today, I have 3 / 7 accepted for publication.  One has already been posted at Drunk Monkeys (“Edith Wharton and Old Samurai Movies“) while the other two, accepted at ThreeLinePoetry.com, are still forthcoming.  Any day now, rejection letters will come pouring through my door, but until then I’m going to remain naively optimistic.

Here’s to a great year so far!

In other news, after two months I’ve finally managed to post my last two art photography video slideshows on my portfolio (Monochrome and Ruminations in Sand, 2011 and 2012 respectively).  Be sure to check them out and let me know what you think.

I’m done with my experimentation in beautifying point-and-click wide-angle photography.  Upgrading to a bigger camera soon.  Since I’m on a budget, I’m looking at the Canon T2i or Nikon D5100, plus a medium (15-55mm) and long lens (either 50-250mm or hopefully 75-300mm).

Also, my two latest film projects are well underway: Eggies (post and pics coming soon) and an as-of-yet untitled serious short film which is currently being scripted.  More on those projects later.

Until then, keep on dreaming and creating.  We were given imagination so that we could weave worlds without.  Remember that.

And ciao.

New Photography Albums Coming

My first three photography albums are now available for viewing under “Visual” while two of them have also been in into surreal slideshows with music (called Grit and Beauty, respectively) under “Motion.” Alternatively, you can view them on my YouTube channel.

Also take a look at my first video poem, The Age of Decline.

New photography albums coming before the end of the year. Stay tuned! I’m including samples from an album in progress called Ruminations in Sand.




the internets are in your brain, stealing your freedumz

Back in the day the Internet consisted of two parts: (1) porn, and (2) advertisements for porn. People would say they used the Internet for “research” but we know they were masturbating to Internet porn.

Then along came a little website called MySpace Facebook (“facebook” or “fb”), knocking #2 off its pedestal, so that the Internet internets became one part porn and one part Facebook fb. With the top contender knocked down a notch, Google swooped in and took over the other constituent, again transforming the internets into two new parts: (1) Google, and (2) fb.

“What about lolcats?” you ask, or, “WHAT ABOUT MY FRIKKIN PRON??!!!11” Porn Pron is now found via Google using such tools as “Google Image Search” or “Google Video Search” and thus pron is now a subsidiary of Google. Lolcats remain more prolific than ever, but only through their conduits, Google and fb. No one can deny the compelling awesomeness of Lolcats, pron, fb and Google combined, which is why we invented smartphones, so that we could increasingly ignore reality in favor of lolcats, anywhere in the world, 24/7. Which leads us to this conclusory, if not rhetorical, question: What did people do before lolcats?
