So when I took the photos I am using for the cover of TATTERED TENTS I was shocked that I managed to find such a thing in the wild. I was out at a hobby store and was looking at a little display they had and saw it...a headless woman in a lawnchair just living… Continue reading Our Cover Story

A Show For Ghouls
With the group I work with here in Flint, the Flint Horror Collective, we create events through the year to bring a little weirdness and horror to the area. We have been doing our thing since 2011 and it's always fun to think of new events that we can do. For the past few years… Continue reading A Show For Ghouls
I Am The Door – a short film
When I made The Last Halloween the plan had been one film and done. I would have scratched that particular itch and would feel good about it. One and done. My filmmaking days were really in my youth. When I was a carefree kid improv-ing movies with friends. The older you get the more serious it… Continue reading I Am The Door – a short film

Creepy Peepy Outtakes, Oh My!
When putting together an upcoming author event with our horror group I had created the flier and image to be posted. I am super hard on my artistic ability though and scrapped it to do a photo instead. These are a few of the pics we didn't use. I took a bunch because it's fun… Continue reading Creepy Peepy Outtakes, Oh My!
The Art of Art
The Art of Art In the rush to embrace the next trend, crown the next genius, and jump on the next bandwagon I think we forget that art is about you. Or rather You. Art is a lot of things, so many things that people get years of schooling just to tell others what is… Continue reading The Art of Art
Reclamation
Despite what bloggers may think blogs change very little. At best they make you think, or make you laugh, or show you something you didn’t know was out there. But it’s in those moments that the spark of an inferno lays. Flint is a city notorious for its issues and it gets frustrating to… Continue reading Reclamation
What Is “Bad"?
There is particular sort of hubris that comes from anyone bold enough to decide they are qualified to tell people the difference between ‘good’ and ‘bad’ but it grows ever more vast when it becomes more than just a sort of sign-post opinion and is presented as a firm entitlement to tell people their… Continue reading What Is “Bad"?
Raising A Glass To 625 pt. 2 – Where I Come From…
(Read the first installment of this blog here). It's interesting how something can rile up so many feelings in yourself and others. I had posted elsewhere a status that I had tired of holding my tongue on the state of Flint's 'art scene'. It ended up getting a bit of response, some pro my thought… Continue reading Raising A Glass To 625 pt. 2 – Where I Come From…
It Is The Time For Darkness
In the night it watches you. It knows what you dream. It knows what you want. It knows what you fear. The Darkness knows you. It is time you learned a little about it. Learn.
Your Taste’s Funny
Ya know, one of those things in life that people just can’t take from you, as much as they may try, is your taste. It’s all you baby and the world is better for it. The thing about life, about humans, is that it’s the things that make us different that make us so… Continue reading Your Taste’s Funny
Motorcity Comic Con 2011
Well, I can tell you with all honesty that this wasn't the beginning I had hoped to have for my sorta-book-and-art tour but, well, there was still fun to be had this weekend. Comic Con is always a bit of a mixed bag for me as it's great to see old friends, meet some new… Continue reading Motorcity Comic Con 2011
