THE ESTATE OF WILLIAM BRADLEY PITT VS. THE MUSEUM OF NEW REALITY
A short SF story I’ve been trying to sell since 2015 that suddenly has relevance thanks to the Vice story about face swap pornography so I decided to self publish it to Medium. Celebrity! Copyright! Intellectual property! Puns!

Haunted Floating Eye - A Lair Defense Game
Haunted Floating Eye is my newest pay-what-you-can ($0 is fine!) game, in active development. You play a magical floating eye monster who has decided to take up residence in a naturally occurring cliff face, as your kind often do.

Bartender.live Cocktail App
I had been looking for an app to help me figure out what cocktails I could make with what I have in my home bar, but just didn't really like any of the ones out there. So I bit the bullet and finally taught myself Swift and created this app.

Any & Flo meet Maggie & Hopey
It's often struck me that Andy Capp's Reg Smythe and Love & Rockets' Jamie Hernandez share a very similar "toolbox" of cartooning techniques. Here's a few panel-by-panel comparisons I put together to demonstrate the point. Jamie himself addresses my theory in the article's final par.

Snakehead Trade Whiskey
I made whiskey based on frontier and Wild West recipes that called for tobacco, leather, and hot peppers. As well as gunpowder and a rattlesnake head. This is the story of making and drinking what seemed like potentially poisonous thing I have ever ingested.

'The Invasion' as Anti-Fascist film
I wrote about the 2007 flop 'The Invasion' for Vice's Does It Actually Suck? And read it as a newly relevant parable about fascism from outer space.

Learning How To Scream Again: Promoting Leftism for Artists and Writers
The culmination of a lot of conversation I've had with fellow artists, designers, and writers. How do we effectively sell Leftist ideology ? How did we get here? What does a new left art look like? What should it's goals be? What's the best way to achieve them?

Space Temple
I made an interactive fiction story with Twine. It's about finding out a childhood friend you lost touch with has died, and playing through an old video game you started together but never finished.

We Have Such Films To Show You
So griphus was all "omg there's nine Hellraiser movies?" and I was like "I know, let's do a podcast about 'em!" and that's the story of We Have Such Films To Show You, our new podcast miniseries where we tackle every film in the increasingly-troubled Hellraiser franchise in loving, rambling detail. The first episode is now up; the podcast feed is here.

Gawker Blocker
It's hard for me to rationalize my hatred for all things Gawker, so I won't even try. Call it irrational and move on. Sometime ago I got tired of clicking links only to be taken to a Gawker site. I can lay a list of sins at their feet (the most recent being the disabling of the browser back button when visiting their sites), so I decided to do something about it.

Dr Sketchy's Anti-Art School: The Documentary
in 2010 I (along with many others) were interviewed for a documentary on the formation of the world-wide life-drawing cabaret show I helped found. After two years on the festival circuit, it is now available for all and sundry on Vimeo. Interviews with Akynos, Gal Friday, Amber Ray, Molly Crabappple, and more. NSFWish video and audio. Directed by Peter Bolte (14 min)
