I’m stuck in my basement with SDCCon Varietal Covid , and it sucks, so lemme talk REVIVAL. The @imagecomics.com I did with Norton, Jenny, Englert & Crank is probably the thing I’m most singularly proud of. It’s big in scope but also intensely small and personal. And I

After my parents were visiting set for the first time, I asked my dad what he thought. He said “I didnt realize, it’s like you’re building a house, and once an hour good looking people run in and put on a play for five minutes. Then they leave and you go back to construction.”

People think "Hollywood" is rich and famous. The reality? Film and TV is a national industry. It's a blue collar industry. And it is an industry free fall.

A long time ago I had the pleasure of writing on a wacky little show called ZOO, where we did stuff like have an invisible snake eat one of our heroes, so she has to cut herself out of it. One of my favorite sequences I’ve ever written. And our cast and effects folks did such an amazing job!

Big day! Heading to SDCC, and the Ghostbrawler Kickstarter is down to the home stretch, last 24 hours. Can we make it to a million dollars in pledges? With your help, just maybe we can! All proceeds over 750K will be used to purchase cocaine!

Gov. Andy Beshear says two people have told him Mitch McConnell is dead. Beshear needs to announce a special election TOMORROW. If McConnell is alive, let him prove it. It's what Mitch McConnell would have done. Not doing it is what Merrick Garland would have done. For once, be like Mitch McConnell.

One time there was an episode of ER that aired live and they mentioned the score of a baseball game that had occurred that day and people lost their minds. It was a simpler time.

Wow, the end of an era! I moved to NY shortly after breaking into comics, specifically to be closer to Marvel and DC. I only lived in NY for a couple years, but I have such fond memories of coming into the offices, sometimes getting a rush job just because someone saw me in the hallway. Good times.

Happy #portfolioday! I write comics and TV. I was most recently a writer/producer on the second season of Creature Commandos for HBO Max. I love superheroes and detective stories and I could really use some work so let’s make something happen!

I just woke up at 5:30am, after a two-week vacation, and found myself in a panic spiral. Full-blown anxiety attack brought on by "relaxing" rather than writing at least a couple of hours a day to get my manic creative energy out. Never again. 🎧✍️📺 Check out the latest episode of 5AM StoryTalk!

I was looking at the IMDb entry for a busted pilot from 1983 called SHOOTING STARS, with Billy Dee Williams and Parker Stevenson as actors-turned-detectives. There’s a reason it didn’t get ordered to series. But for some reason there’s a janky AI poster for it.

An AI-generated poster for a TV-movie called Shooting Stars, with Billy Dee Williams and Parker Stevenson, and the tag line: “Being a celebrity cop in Hollywood can be a real problem - especially if you’re wanted for murder!” The AI-generated Parker Stevenson is particularly terrible.
