About this author

edit data

I was a musician under the names Sir Millard Mulch and / or Dr. Zoltan Øbelisk. Now I spend my time as a person instead of a persona.

This just in, from my Chief Meme Architect:

• I've made albums with famous drummers.
• Decibel Magazine called me an auteur.
• Author of the book, "So, You're A Creative Genius... Now What?"
• Sci-Fi / Fantasy / Superhero writer / director / animator / producer.
• I don't believe in one-dimensional Industry Designations.
• Bicyclist. Vegan. Introvert.

I'm wealthy, have a lot of free time, and no one likes me.

Carl King said: "I have to admit this is a really strange book. I'm going to start over and read it again, because I think there are some bizarre but important ideas in it that I was not grasping the first time around. "
