We are living in the age of super villains. Some are dumb as a brick. All of them are sociopaths. Greed is their only motivation. Many of them have A LOT of money. And now a select few hold onto the levers of power in the most powerful country in the world.
The operative word here is "villain."

I love your photos, especially from the 80s. And there was something oddly magical about a good Polaroid™ camera. Here a one of mine from '79.

Here's a set of promotional selfies from '79-'83. Most are Polaroids™. No internet, but we definitely needed images for flyers, press releases, album covers, and PR. And, of course, it was all natural light or lamps around the house. DIY!

At this point it's surreal to realize I was part of a three person dev team that helped design the DNA for this long-running franchise back in 1989-90.

It was a beautiful, melancholy day. I attended a lovely funeral and visited the resting place of my father-in-law. The weather was perfect, which is all one can ask for.

Proof of life here in the studio. It's just after midnight and it's my birthday. How the hell did I make it this far?

We made a computer simulation back in the early 90s. Seems appropriate now.

Look at that talent list on the cover of the August, 1988 issue of Science Fiction Eye magazine. My copy has been signed by Clive Barker, whose artwork adorns the cover.

A little Jimi Hendrix birthday trivia. Back in the 90s we made a computer game to teach kids how to read called "Electric Reading Land" starring a little alien named Jimi. It was the first piece of software to officially license a Hendrix tune. We used "Power of Love".
