November 8th, 2020 2020 has seen a lot of dang clouds, but there are always silver linings to be found. I managed to release two works this year, and both The Weirdos: Volume I and Theia are official contenders in the 2020 Minnesota Book Awards. The Weirdos is a graphic novel about a collection ofContinue reading “Silver Linings My-Books”

O, Nostalgia
November 6th, 2020 Nostalgia is a powerful thing. It can transport you through time and space. It can trap you in pocket dimensions made of moments. It builds worlds from smells and sounds and feelings you had never felt before or since. I’m the kind of person who can feel nostalgia before it happens, whileContinue reading “O, Nostalgia”
The Social Dilemma
September 12th, 2020 Shall we unironically discuss The Social Dilemma on social media? We shall! Let’s get this out of the way: if you’re a human and use any social media platform, this is essential viewing. It’s only 90 minutes long, and it contains information that should be shared with every human for the sakeContinue reading “The Social Dilemma”
My Unsolicited Writers-On-Writing Three-Pack; or, a glimpse into what makes me tick as a human who writes.
August 23rd, 2020 1. On Writing, Stephen King. Stephen King has been teaching me how to write my whole life. Through his novels (my first was Cujo, a book he thinks is good, but apparently does not entirely remember writing), his adapted work, his interviews, his magazine essays, his Twitter account — dude and hisContinue reading “My Unsolicited Writers-On-Writing Three-Pack; or, a glimpse into what makes me tick as a human who writes.”
You’ve Already Done Enough
July 26th, 2020 This was crazy fun to discover tonight; it’s definitely a highlight of my summer. Like so many before me, I feel like I artistically wasted my twenties (despite releasing three albums [with accompanying music videos], playing countless shows, putting out a web series, publishing three novellas, blah blah blah). Then you findContinue reading “You’ve Already Done Enough”
Comic-Con@Home
July 23rd, 2020 This is probably the only time I’ll ever get to be an exhibitor at San Diego Comic-Con. And also be able to bring my dog. Due to the pandemic, this year’s main event has become Comic-Con@Home, and since we nerds, geeks and weird folk go entirely all out regardless of the situation,Continue reading “Comic-Con@Home”
TV Picks Of The Week!
July 22nd, 2020 Are you stranded on a desert island of stress and uncertainty? Same! Are you looking for an escape raft of the streaming variety? These are my four picks for what I’m watching (and adoring) this week. Expecting Amy — This three-part documentary is a master class in what it means to beContinue reading “TV Picks Of The Week!”
Happy 15th Anniversary To My First
July 13th, 2020 Today marks a neat anniversary I’d like to quietly celebrate with some introspection and a sparkling grape water. 15 years ago today, on July 13th, 2005, I released my first full-length album. The Next Step existed before this (it all started in high school…), but this was the first time I putContinue reading “Happy 15th Anniversary To My First”
Pocket Universe Of Joy (Or, S.O.S.)
July 9th, 2020 Releasing a book this summer, of this year, has not been the most fun. I mean, let’s be honest: this year has not been the most fun. So moments like this — seeing my book on a shelf at one of my favorite shops, Mind’s Eye Comics — are little bubbles ofContinue reading “Pocket Universe Of Joy (Or, S.O.S.)”
New Directions
May 25th, 2020 What kind of doofus would release a book about connecting to one another at a time when we’re so far apart? This kind of doofus. A doofus who could absolutely use some of your knowledge and wisdom. As any writer does, I spend time reading about sales and the “art” of selling,Continue reading “New Directions”
