Hobbyist turned annoying hobbyist

I've always been curious about photography because I like any art form that seeks to express and share perception and understanding in ways the brain doesn't always format obviously. With my life imploding as it is, I decided to try my hand at a nature walk with some scenery and mayhaps an animal if I could manage to snap a picture before I squee'd (doubtful). Well my first choice was flooded, but luckily I had recently asked a friend, D. Paul Angel for some local recommendations that were acces...

Bad News, Everyone

Hello Everyone,

First and foremost I wanted to thank you for all of your continued support while I worked diligently to publish my first book. Due to unforeseen circumstances involving my health and personal life, I will no longer be able to pursue publishing, independent or traditional, at least for some time. I will be removing the Changeling from paid sources like Kindle Unlimited and Draft 2 Digital this weekend and have a few more physical copies I will be giving out to good homes and mayb...

Scorn

Always stretching,

Always reaching,

Always striving.

Always falling,

Always failing,

Always crying.

Behind grit teeth, swallowing back every plea.

On bone-deep bruises, crawling hand and knee.

There is no respite, no safety, no weathering this storm.

On that sad and lonely autumn day a star burned out.

But a brand new curse was born.

Don’t perceive me (poetry)

Stay away

My bared teeth say

Flee this place

A lip trembles inside a stoic face

There are ghosts of trauma past

And shadows of dead and dying monsters

All trapped inside paper thin skin and fueled by a heart born broken

Printables down!!

Much to my dismay my printing company has stopped working with my website provider. I'm left scrambling while I try to get my products back up. Huge apology to anyone coming through. This is definitely embarrassing and frustrating but it's making me realize maybe I need to invest in some printing tools myself so I can actually get people products! Once again I'm really sorry for the inconvenience!! Stay tuned.

Enter: THE EMERALD FORMULA

THE EMERALD FORMULA is a story I've been working on for maybe 15 years. What was once the retelling of a beloved but in deep homoerotic denial show ended up taking a direction that was way more fun than the show ever got. I took the Catholic Christian mythology of my youth and twisted it tightly with the History of Science, specifically Alchemy. Alchemy has ALWAYS been a representation of where magic and science kiss. The art I plan on sharing as the stories progress is all designed by me, inclu...

Promotional Work: The Changeling

I've been trying to learn from current trends to create the things I might use on social media or at in-person events.

How the Better On Page Logo Evolved!

I've been working on this sucker for at least a year and this has been the progression to current iteration.
