Some are from Flint's Back to the Bricks , our huge car cruise/show to honor the love affair with the automobile.

Guerilla Art Show/The Art of 625
I have lived at 625 in downtown Flint for nearly five years now and I don't know if I will ever know how deeply this place has affected me. It is here where I put together my second and third book, where I got published in Bare Bone and in Cthulhu Sex, and it is… Continue reading Guerilla Art Show/The Art of 625
For Granted
I have been thinking a lot lately of the ideas of legacy, and have talked about how I hope my own legacy will play out, but there’s another aspect of this that I want to talk about today. As a writer and artist with very limited income it’s pretty hard to find to do… Continue reading For Granted
People You Should Know…

Chris Reed - a Flint author of dark fiction and horror who will freak your face. Great stuff. Dangerous Lee - a local blogtalk personality and… Continue reading People You Should Know…
A Look Around
As anyone who cares knows I live in downtown Flint, Michigan, a city with a lot written about it, much of which seems to be biased one way or the other. We are not a sainted city, but neither are we a city of monsters. Flint’s the greatest love of your life but the person… Continue reading A Look Around
Influence
Influence I wrote a blog a while about the notion of legacy and what it means. And I want a legacy, you want a legacy, we all want one. We want to leave that behind with what we do. More important than a legacy though is influence. Say, Charles Dickens left a legacy with his… Continue reading Influence

Everyone's a Critic
Ah, I live in a funny place, this Flint. I love it here, loved it enough to move here four years ago and become involved in the arts here. Loved it enough to stand up for things when I see something wrong. And there is the rub. Flint is, as well known as it may… Continue reading Everyone's a Critic

As Summer Fades
This past weekend I was an artist at a two day art festival in Detroit and enjoyed the wonderful Fall weather. Ah, Fall, you read that right. Here in Michigan our seasons cannot mind their manners and they trip into each other's months. It's rather annoying, I have to say. So here are some pictures… Continue reading As Summer Fades
