Steampunk has been around for decades in prose and comics and crappy cosplay, but has there ever been an actual steampunk movie? What usually gets marketed as steampunk, especially in the movies, is stuff that references the aesthetic without creating a world in which any of the tech makes sense. There’s no alternate history, there’s […]
You all are probably familiar with Batty from her appearances in the Blue Blood VIP and her gothic clothing line Azrael’s Accomplice. Forrest Black and I have collaborated with Batty on shoots for Marquis, Devolution, Tattoo Savage, and more. Sometimes she has been in front of our cameras and sometimes she has dressed people like […]
If you like epic battles and cool stuff and independent productions and/or creative people from the DC area, I recommend checking out the Broken Continent Kickstarter. It’s got two hours left to go. They have finished principal photography and they are putting together their web series post production and festival circuit plans. Join us on […]
I only noticed this Kickstarter today, when the always fabulous Mildred Von of Mother of London posted about it. Anything she is involved with is likely to to be cool. The project is by thereminist (is that a word?) Theremina and includes an album (which presumably includes theremin-playing), a music video, live performances, and high […]

Murder at a con. Who hasn’t been there? The specific convention setting here is GenCon. As that part of the world is outside my usual geographic orbit, I’ve only done GenCon once, years ago with White Wolf. I was going to tell an anecdote about this, but, come to think of it, I think I […]
I posted this update about editing the film to our California Deathrock book Kickstarter pages and I wanted to share it here too. I eventually did find the needed art pencils. They were in a pencil drawer, along with an inexplicable neurological pinwheel. Forrest and I are getting ready to start going through contact sheets […]
It was hard to make this video happen because working on it was giving me the hugest spasm of shyness. Fortunately, Forrest Black and I still managed to bust it out. So now you can see behind-the-scenes footage of what our nightlife portraiture shoots look like, as part of the Kickstarter for our California Deathrock […]
Why, yes, I have been looking through all the varied cool creative projects on Kickstarter recently. I’m excited that the Kickstarter business model is facilitating the sharing of so much art. My fellow Wesleyan alum Amanda Palmer is currently in the middle of a ridiculously successful Kickstarter project. At this writing, Amanda Palmer: The new […]
