  • Recap Recap Recap

    What’s been going on with Mike lately? When last I blogged, I was pushing Mind Rip’s Kickstarter campaign. Well, that fundraising tactic fell short, but that doesn’t mean we’re not making the movie any way possible.

  • Cthulhu Unbound

    Since becoming a “captain of the internet,” I’ve become acquainted with other filmmakers and artists around the world, mostly through sites like MySpace and Indieclub.com. One such person is Thomas Brannan, who is co-editing the two volume fiction anthology of Lovecraft inspired work, Cthulhu Unbound.  He asked if I’d be interested in doing some promo […]

  • AWN Showcase

    I now have an online gallery at the Animation World Network Showcase website. People who have never heard of me can now stumble onto my member pages over at AWN. As I get into promotion mode, I’ll be putting plenty of new text and images there. For now, there’s a selection of artwork from Jason, […]
