Twice I can recall times where writing just broke my heart. The first time was I was still a teenager and had been working on a story called Road Kill for what must have been weeks. It was the longest piece I had written I was really proud of it. I had a notebook I… Continue reading The Ones That Get Away

Ten Years Gone…
Today is one of those days in life where it is important for me, means something to me, but which no one will really care about. For me, today marks the tenth anniversary of my first book signing, which was at the Borders Books and Music in Flint, Michigan. The anniversary though is more for… Continue reading Ten Years Gone…
Garden of Eden 3
These are the last of my Garden photos that I did last weekend down the alley where I live. These are less whimsical and are more visceral. The theme is similar to what has been seen in photos I have done before but I am more confident with the camera, have a better camera, and… Continue reading Garden of Eden 3

More pics from the alley near my apartment.
In the Garden
Where I live in downtown Flint is a pretty fun little area. I live on the main drag through Flint, called Saginaw Street, and have an alley behind the building which butts us up against the Capitol Theater, an old school theater that is full of character but which has seen better days. Down our… Continue reading In the Garden
Photographic Amnesia
This past weekend I went to Kentucky with my ghoulfriend for her brother's senior prom and while down there we stopped at the Cincinatti Zoo and I took a crap ton of pics. I figured that, since I have had all manner of other randomness posted up here recently it was high time to get… Continue reading Photographic Amnesia
Guerilla Art Show – the show that was
For the past three years some friends and I have been putting together indie art shows in downtown Flint that we called Guerilla Art shows - the name deriving from what my landlord called the first one he had us put together, he wanting a 'guerilla art show' in the building where I live, on… Continue reading Guerilla Art Show – the show that was
Stuff I do
This is gonna be a sort of lazy catch all of stuff I have done recently. It is weird to me how much I am painting of late. I think it's due to a feeling that I lack time to really write, which isn't untrue, sorta. But I have been painting a lot. And obviously… Continue reading Stuff I do
Selling Out
Can I tell you how weird it is to sell stuff? Seriously? Especially for me, to sell art. I love painting, I love taking pics, I love drawing, but all of that is secondary to writing. This is all stuff I have said, before. I have drawn since I was a very little boy, the… Continue reading Selling Out
Snaps
Here are some random pictures I have taken recently, such as the process of one of my recent paintings, and another couple pics of the bloody knives. It's stuff, dig?
New paintings and tools of the trade
I did a couple paintings over the weekend, and these are them. It is funny 'cause I had ideas for both and neither turned out how I had thought. Hecks, I had to re-do part of Mr. Mouth, but such is the joy of painting. The random pic is one I took for fun. 'Cause… Continue reading New paintings and tools of the trade
Hardcore Nerdity
So I got a new camera with my gubment money/tax return money. I love, love, love the thing but haven't had a lot of time to use it, not to mention that the weather the mitten has been having makes it hard to want to do much of anything. So, I give to you, nerdy… Continue reading Hardcore Nerdity
What we Love
I can't really tell you the day I decided I wanted to be a writer, or had to be a writer, or needed to be a writer, or whatever it is that compels us to do something. I can't tell you because I don't think there was a day, one day, where that dawned on… Continue reading What we Love
