I’m grateful that for 35 years my play of ROBIN HOOD (Samuel French/Concord) has been performed hundreds of times around the world, the majority by young people. This year I’m particularly psyched about the one at Oxford which will apparently be outdoors like our original production. 1/2

DARK AND STORMY NIGHT old dark house stages 2/2.

DARK AND STORMY NIGHT old dark house stages 2/2.
Thought it might be fun to look at the stages of our old dark house in DARK AND STORMY NIGHT, from my early Photoshopped promo art, to Anton Tremblay’s beautiful concept drawing, through his design and build (with his team) to fruition. 1/2

Photo of an actual rock taken by an actual phone with an actual camera, by an actual rock scientist who'll study it until it cannot be studied any longer. In fact I’ve already discovered it’s completely hollow on the inside which leads me to one conclusion.
I might not be an actual rock scientist.

4th & final painting of batch of my recently recovered science fiction illustrations, this one for “True Magic” another story by imaginative Robert A. Metzger for Aboriginal Science Fiction mag. Acrylic on 16X20 canvas. Definitely one of my favorites. Once again of course I hired the cheapest model.

From SCTV, to SCHITT’S CREEK, and beyond, few people made me laugh as much as Catherine O’Hara did. Sheer brilliance and unbridled creativity. RIP.

Really enjoyed this dazzling short film THE LORD OF ALL SPACE AND TIME, produced by my friend Dana Guerin. An audacious, amusing and engaging dissertation on time and space, with a bag that appears from nowhere and some Old West vengeance. Now on YouTube.

Trying again, this time with pic... Another recently acquired painting, this one illustrating the story IMAGO by Mary Kittredge in the May-June 1987 issue of Aboriginal Science Fiction Magazine. Will be putting these up for sale on eBay fairly soon. Acrylic paint on 16” X 20” canvas panel.

No small feat for an indie to get even limited theatrical release so I want to give a little signal boost to WORLDBREAKER the new scifi-horror film produced in Belfast by friend Tracy Mercer, directed by Brad Anderson (SESSION 9, MACHINIST). Opens in theaters this Friday. Let's support indie film.

Another painting I’ve recently come by, an illustration for Aboriginal Science Fiction Magazine. Have not been able to identify the story, but pretty sure it’s by Robert A. Metzger. Editor Charlie Ryan would assign me Metzger stories because they were so bizarre. This one’s fairly large, 24”X30".

I recently came into possession of some of my early scifi illustrations which I’m offering for sale. This is a favorite, “Chmeee” from Galileo’s serialization of Larry Niven’s “Ringworld Engineers.” Acrylic on 14”X18” canvas. I’ll likely put it on eBay but first take offers here if interested.

Gun dealer Jackie Brown (Steven Keats) educated by middleman Eddie Coyle (Robert Mitchum) in Boston bowling alley. THE FRIENDS OF EDDIE COYLE (1973) = my favorite movie. No shootouts or car chases. Just a series of low-key 2-person conversations in different tiers of Beantown underworld. Masterpiece

Here’s my new commission, “Meet the New Dinosaurs #4,” acrylic on 12X16 canvas panel. I'm really enjoying this series, probably because with each new painting I learn more and more about dinosaurs and how they lived and their hobbies & stuff. If you’re interested in a commission shoot me a message.

My latest painting, “The Man in the Red Batcher Coat,” acrylic on 12” X 16” canvas panel. Might be the beginning of a new series. Message me if you’re interested in purchasing. Or commissioning a piece.

Finishing up a new commission, “Meet the New Dinosaurs #4” to be added to this grouping… Did you know that we are still learning things about the dinosaurs? And that they are the ones teaching us, through the very fossils they left behind? They were really messy.

Nina Koshetz as memorable Madame Duval w/ Louis Hayward in CAPTAIN PIRATE (1952). Colorful cast, robust George Duning score, damn fine sword fights. 2nd followup to CAPTAIN BLOOD was a pleasant surprise, hit all the right beats. Also enjoyed TCM host Ben Mankiewicz’s amusing riff on the goofy title.

Revisiting THE MOLLY MAGUIRES on TCM I became aware of Richard Harris’s and Anthony Zerbe’s diametrically opposed eyebrows.

Unpublished sample painting done when I was just starting out. Wish I had a better photo of it.

Love when folks on YouTube commercials talk really loud/fast in desperate but hopeless race to the skip button.
It’s comforting with new product, knowing PR department has already done the “lying share” of the work.
I seldom go to the lunch counter because I really don’t care how many I’ve eaten.

These days I hear more and more people say “Dream me, I think I’m pinching.”
Earache sirens went off last night, sure enough I woke up with one.
When digging holes remember to take breaks so you don’t suffer from dirt lag.
What do you do if a tractor won’t dissolve in water?
