Where Things Are At

Project Updates

Firstly, here's a rundown of what's done. Two Lunatics has been filmed so next thing to do with that is edit. No clue what I'm doing, but I'm sure it will get done eventually. The next Billy in Space book is coming along slowly but steadily, and I've got another book in the works as well.

I've just started school again and I'm going to MATC to learn programming. Might be going into the game development program with a focus on coding. We'll see. You can follow those adventures here.

I honestly don't post in this blog nearly enough. I do however post on my facebook page fairly regularly. If you want to know what I'm up to with updates on how the books are coming you should go here. It's small stuff so it never feels worth posting on a blog.

Anyway. That's the state of things.

News: Lie about Magnets Uncovered

It seems the concept of magnetism has been common knowledge to just about everyone (except for the Insane Clown Posse) since we could rub two shiny rocks together.  A negatively charged object and a positively charged object are attracted to each other, due to electrons and tiny multicolored spheres and math and stuff. This little scientific fact is the basis of the commonly used phrase "opposites attract" in reference to couples that are so different they should totally end up together, like in every 80's movie ever.

Unfortunately it turns out we've all been had. Last week, researchers in Germany somewhere decided to actually test the "opposites attract" theory. Surprisingly, or rather not so surprisingly, materials with similar charges wanted to hang out instead of the other way around, which they all agree in hindsight, made no sense.

The reason for this deception by the scientific community dates back to the coining of the phrase "opposites attract". Scientists of the time wanted a pick up line they could use on the hot cheerleader types in a time before science was considered "cool". They went so far as making sure magnets were always painted in such a way to support their claims. Now that science and even dorkiness is cool, the phrase and its false scientific backing can be abandoned.

"We hope that the public can forgive us and we can all move past this. We came up with this theory in a rather lonely time for scientists, but we feel we've grown past the need for it now," said Danny Carlton, King of Science.

It remains to be seen what effect this will have on those cartoony U shaped magnets.

Hope you enjoyed today's lies about magnets. The world my never be the same. Here's some real stuff!

Animation: I finished up the music video for the Happy Horse Band! The final version of it got okayed yesterday. They're super happy with it, as am I. Once they post it, I'll share it here on the website. I think you'll like the song and the video.

Film: May have run into a bit of a snag on Two Lunatics concerning crew, but I have hopes that it will all come together in the end. Did get some essential props put together so that's just about all set.

Comic: I thought I was all done making comics for a while, but my good buddy D.B. Rouse is putting out a new album in a couple months and he wants a comic to go with it. So I've started working on that. It'll be black and white and loosely follow characters in the album.

That's what I got.

Project Update: Two Lunatics

1/22/2014

The big project I really want to tell people about right now is Billy in Space (have I mentioned that I wrote a book called Billy in Space? It's coming out in a couple months. Get excited). However that's not the only big project I'm working on right now, and maybe, for some unknown reason, you're interested in one of those other projects. So here's info on a short film I wrote called Two Lunatics.

It's a short film about two guys in an insane asylum. There's more to it than that, but if I say much more it'll give away the whole story. It is short after all. I'm getting help producing it from Sam Kozel of Film Freed, a local indie film studio. This'll be my first time behind the camera on a film project, and Sam has been real helpful with all the stuff I'm totally oblivious on. So he deserves big thanks for that.

It's staring a couple of local Milwaukee theater guys. Jason Waszac of various things from around town, and Matt Kemple of the Milwaukee Comedy Festival and  the Underground Collaborative. I just had meetings with both, and they're both going to do a great job. You should be looking forward to seeing it.

We'll actually be filming at the UC in not too long from now, so that's exciting.

So yeah. That's coming up real soon. Get excited.
