Playing rockband with my new fingerless gloves is a great thing. Awesomeness. -eD

Turns out im unimportant in continentals eyes Considerin i was removed from my plane after i was in my seat. Now stuck in airport 7 hrs. Full rant 2 come... -eD

Just saw the flight attendant who hassled me from dc to pa board the plane. This is going to be annoying I can already tell... -eD

Figures the day i leave Pa is the first day of snow accumulation. Hope i get to the airport in time w/weather, also hope no flight delays or cancellations. -eD

i didnt Think i looked my age, then i shaved off my 4 month mustache & now i look even younger. Have to keep stubble on cheeks so they wont be pinched... -eD

Just found out bout the show Storage Hunters. Its quite addictive. Fun show like a mix of pawn stars, hoarders, & antique road show with an auction. -eD

Got a remote control helicopter from my uncle for xmas! Watch out LA i now have a mini ghetto bird! -eD

Update from pa

My flights home weren't too bad. During the flight from LA to DC when the flight attendant was going through the normal safety check, whenever he got to the air thing-a-ma-jig as he pulled it over his head and went to pull the hose to "open the airway" the piece broke off. He chuckled and said "I broke it" which made me feel even less safe than before.
Then on my flight from DC to Pittsburgh I got to sit in row 13 (aka row 14). But the most annoying thing was the flight attendant who spoke broken English who hassled me on take off and landing about having all things with an "on" switch turned off. I didn't even have anything electronic out and visible but she asked me multiple times if everything I had was off. Every time she asked me I said everything was off, but she kept asking me as if I was lying to her. I was slightly offended. Even the middle aged man sitting next to me was surprised at how she was acting about the whole situation.
It was nice to get back to pa, the weather wasn't so cold at first, but by Saturday it was quite cold, and has stayed frosty. It is interesting to drive in pa again though. I get to use my brights when driving at night, people know how to drive in the rain, though I do have to pay attention to speed limits much more because the roads don't always have other cars to pace off of like in LA. Movies are about half the price too which is awesome for everyone here. That and the specials that they offer like buckets of popcorn that you can bring back all year and just pay a few dollars to refill them. Pretty awesome stuff.
I also finally got into reading the comic Invincible, which is amazing. I've only gotten through about 15 issues but it is quickly becoming a favorite. I think I'll get back to reading those.

Merry X-Mas!

"Nostalgia" Paint work

Added the Reds & Grays

After 2nd layer on Red, black on glasses and nose hole.

After I get back I will be doing a bit more work on it.  Adding another layer of white, another black and then determine what else needs done to make me feel like it's finished...
-eD

"Nostalgia" update - Primer, Outlines, & Away We Go...

Spent some time in the Paint Studio the last few days, prob going back in tonight to add in the grays, the red, and possibly the black.  Then tomorrow I should be able to apply some finishing touches for 2011.  I may come back to it and fix/adjust some things.

Primed the area.  The glue from the collage didn't mix well with the primer and  the stencil may not have been the greatest way to start this off with all of the previous textural layers...

Penciled in the shapes and outlines

Used a paint pen to darken the lines and shade in the black on the glasses.  Will be going back in on those soon.  The glasses will also be black so I will have to think about that for the 2012 adjustments... 

Tonight, color, tomorrow another layer of white and another black for the glasses...

Whoopsy Daisy

Attempted to meditate on some projects that I've been working on and ended up falling asleep for a few hours in the middle of the day.  Felt pretty good though, I will admit.  Back to work...
-eD

Even though itis chilly out i still chose to wear shorts today. Less than a week before i freeze in pa so i might as well show off my legs while i can... -eD

A matter of time...

It was a rainy day in LA today, started wet, rained, continued raining and luckily the rain stopped before the walk back to the car after work. For lunch we walked in the rain to get to a burger place not too far away. while waiting to cross the street at the intersection I saw a large truck and realized what was about to happen. I knew there was no time to turn or shield myself so I closed my mouth and eyes as tight as I could when the truck past us and sprayed street gutter water all over us. Not quite a wave of water, but we were definitely in the splash zone. It was funny but very gross. I knew it would happen to me eventually, hopefully now my quota is filled so I don't have to experience it again...

Artsy Update

Haven't made it into the garage/studio much this weekend but I did get a lot of artsy stuff accomplished.  I cut the stencils for the skull for my first piece and I even worked up the vectors and stencil for my 2nd piece.  But enough rambling I'll just show you some pics and explain it all that way...

Full-size stencil print outs.  each piece is standard size printing paper

a somewhat better picture of the aged bg of the piece

Skull stencil

2nd piece concept vectors.

2nd piece stencil

I'm pretty happy with how the 2nd piece vectors/stencil turned out but I think I am going to rework some of it before I print out the parts and cut it's stencils.  I'm taking the rest of the day off... probably...

-eD

Whoops

It sounds like I accidentally had a hand in getting my roommate addicted to caffeine (like most Americans).  We work together and every morning I start my day by getting coffee at work before I go to my desk and start the day.  After a while he started to make it his routine to get cappuccinos in the morning when I got my coffee. As anyone who starts drinking cappuccino's because they don't like the taste of coffee will know, it is the gateway caffeine drink.  I believe this because of it's lower levels of caffeine and it's downright tasteyness (I know it's not a word).  Then once you feel like you "need" the caffeine to function properly they will graduate to actual coffee, and then quite possibly the dreaded espresso.  Anyhow during the last week he was complaining about headaches in the morning.  It started last weekend I think and I just jokingly said he was going through caffeine withdrawal and to drink something caffeinated (because I know it sometimes helps me).  Turns out it worked, then whenever he would get a headache the next day the caffeine helped again.  But even though he now knows this he still continues with his cappuccino's in the morning.  Now he join the masses of the caffeine addicted...

Rockband & def jap rapstar w/the projector is spectacular! Sang w/just the mic on expert & rocked some 90%s. all after goin out 2 bar w/some friends. Ended up playing till about 430 am, then couldn't sleep and slept in way too late this morning.  Lost a decent part of my day, but my dreams wouldn't allow me the peace of mind to just stop them and start my day...
-eD

Gross-ness

When I see someone has left a drink in a public bathroom it takes tons of willpower for me not spit into it. It's gross, I know, but so is bringing something that you would drink/eat into a bathroom of any kind let alone a public restroom. it disturbs me that someone would submit something that they will imbibe to all of that poo gas.  As long as you wash your hands right?
-eD

Humble Mumble

I know I don't talk much about work on this, but that's because there's barely humor at work.  I'm usually just too busy to let my mind wander about the randomness that goes on in my head.  I've been pushing myself at work to be as efficient as possible.  I don't let myself wander around on the internet very much, which it could be said it's because I don't want people to see me on the internet, or because I am that dedicated to my work while at work.  I prefer the latter, if anyone asks...  Every once in a while I get complimented on something that I didn't think twice about doing and just smile, say thanks and get back to work.  Today the project lead and I got pulled into the directors office and we were introduced to the owner of the company.  Then the producer and director talked about how great we were and how much we helped out on the project.  I think it was the first time I blushed in years but I'm not sure.  I felt myself about to do the "aww shucks" foot twist while looking at the floor but I stayed in the game.  Then afterwords I got another acknowledgment of always being on top of things and not wasting time on the internet like other people are doing (I guess).  It looks nice when people walk past and see us toiling away, especially when there's tours.

If anyone comes to LA I could help them up with a tour...

Oh crap, I almost forgot...
I saw a bird fly into the window one window away from where I sit.  It was plain crazy.  I usually catch things going past the window in my peripheral vision but I hardly check it out.  This time I did.  I saw a light brown blur comin... "Boom!" Then it drops at an angle and in a blur rights itself and swoops away to safety.

I don't know why I didn't text that here.  Whoops...

P.S.  Saw some guy from the Steve Blake from the Lakers yesterday at Carl's Jr while at lunch.  He just looked like a gangly gym guy in his work out clothes to me, then some woman asked for his autograph and I figured only a basketball or maybe baseball player could be that lanky.  I don't mean to insult but that's the best way I could describe him.  Didn't feel like looking up his stats...

and now it all comes back to me. heh...

and that is the end of this R.A.P.!

My knees were starting to hurt when standing or going up steps so i figured i would just ice my knees for tonight. I could diet but wheres the fun in that? -eD

Art Piece Update...

Here's an image of the aged background

Here is the idea of the piece

I fleshed out the skull and glasses to a finished version today.  Been messing around on my iPad with a vector program.  Then separated it as parts and Frankenstein'ed it all back together in Photoshop on my PC while watching Muppet movies.  My printer ran out of ink after I printed 2/3 pages for the stencil.  It said I needed Yellow when I was trying to print black and white.  Darn smart printers that won't let you do things you should be able to do anyway...  Guess I'll work on some other projects then...
More Vector fun before TV time on the projector!
-eD

On Thursday I finished the DVD set of Chop Socky Chooks cartoons while exercising.  Now I move onto some Fanboy & Chum Chum.  I like watching cartoons, so it helps me think less of my straining muscles.  Friday my roommate Ben got all the pieces for his new projector setup for the living room and installed it.  It is quite the sight I must say.  I am going to get so snobby with movie viewing now.  

The "Normal" television was like 42in or so the projector screen is 100...

the quality it amazing once the ambient lights go down

It was an easy decision what to watch first... 

Saturday I went with some friends to Unique LA (which is like a arts and crafts show, a lot of t-shirts and recycled stuff which was neat).  After that hung out with Rich for his birthday then had a games night with a nice amount of people filtering in and out.  Played a Pictionary card game like it was destiny to finish it, then after changing teams multiple times, and splitting the winnings into the final two teams counts it was a difference of about 2-4 points.  It was a lot of fun.
Now I have to get back into a few things and get enough done so I can at least start painting sometime during the week, if I can't get to it before our screening of Dexter tonight on the new projector.  This is going to be awesome!
-eD

Forgot 2 turn my phone 2 vibrate when i got 2 work yesterday. after bout 30 mins i get pocket dialed from a friend i havent talked 2 in ages. Twas loud... -eD

Holiday Weekend...

Wednesday night after work I trimmed the edges of the piece.

Thursday (Thanksgiving) I used my airbrush to give it more of an aged look.

I've spent most of my creative time this weekend working on the graphics to start painting.  Using a vector art program I have on my iPad (which I have now had for over a year!).  As with most of my art it starts too cartoony so I am going to freehand a bit over a dulled printout I just made.  Started working on the planning of another painting as well, a familiar face if you will...
Kicked back for most of Thanksgiving.  Did some cleaning minor paint work, some drawing, watched some movies, read some comics it was nice.  Then Friday was our Black Friday Thanksgiving which went really well.  For dinner we had 13 people I think, and for games we had 9.  I started off with some Wild Turkey thinking it fitting for the occasion.  The food was great, I think it was the best Turkey day we have had at the house food-wise.  After dinner we played a 9 person game of Loaded Questions which we could only handle two rounds of with Les being in the lead by far.  Our numbers dwindles again a bit and we sat down to watch Pirates 4, which I think only two people were able to stay awake through, and I don't even have any interest to try watching it again.  Saturday was recovery day, a lot more lounging, comics, drawing and movies.  Even went out to see the Muppets Movie, which was awesome.  I really need to get back into spending time with my muppet, he seems lonely, but it's not easy being green...
-eD

Spam n Such

I just cleaned out my spam folder and had an email that said, "Hey Bubonik"...  It was kind of surreal.  I think I should start setting up user names that are more awesome, like "Master of Disaster" or "King of All He Surveys" so I can get more blanket emails that make me laugh while I delete them...

Also: Happy Thanksgiving All!  I will be celebrating tomorrow on Black Friday, as a way to silently protest riot-like shopping frenzies, and I guess also because some friends weren't free today.  Gives me a Saturday feeling before our binge eating day. Then another Saturday feeling, then sadly a Sunday feeling...

Better enjoy it while I can.   I believe mixed drinks and painting are in my future for the day, maybe some hammock time if it's dry enough.  Some things I suppose I'm thankful for...
-eD

Mixed Media Project Started Back Up Finally...

I've had this in the works for over 6 months.  Pages cut and planned but I didn't take the initiative needed or have the space needed in the garage for it so it sat on the back-burner like most of my projects.  But today considering it was raining and I couldn't enjoy my hammock like I originally planned I started it up.

This is what the board originally looked like...

Then a few months ago I gave a nice black base coat.  Prob should have went white thinking back,  but I thought having some dark come through may be better...

I laid out and organized the pieces for the collage part.

Then I attached them all to the board.  I sprayed an additional layer of glue on top to seal any loose edges, hoping it will give it a glazed aged look.

I have some mild work through the week planned prepping the board for more work and "aging" it a bit more, then more time consuming work during my 4 day Thanksgiving weekend...
-eD

Photo randoms...

Next to my work table in the garage.  it's way more organized than it was before...

it rained all day today.  went to Target and there was almost or a bit over a foot of water in the area near the stop sign.  this picture does no justice to it but i didn't feel like waiting in the rain to get a shot with a car in it...

Had to try this beer.  It was pretty good but it sold me on the Joker look-alike logo...

Graphic on a shirt I found while at Venice around the 4th of July.  I've worn it twice cause I don't think it's a wear to work shirt even though I love it!

-eD

Garage Update

Spent a few hours in the garage today cleaning and setting up my workstation.  I have to pick up a few more organizational things and move some more boxes in there and then the garage will be set.  But here's some pics to show what I got accomplished so far today...

Artwork and more fun tomorrow...
-eD

Just got to work but after readin a new spider-man book i have the overwhelming need to express my opinion that spidey is awesome. That is all... -eD

Some days i wonder about riding the stationary bike naked. But i dont think anyone should submit their equipment to that... Bike or other... -eD

Garage Re-Organize

 I didn't take any pictures after the garage was emptied and redone.  That was mainly because I just wanted to get all the stuff back in there, and when it was just the lone fridge sitting in the middle of the garage it wasn't very photo-worthy.  After a while of having all the garage stuff in the back of the living room waiting for the go-ahead to put it back in the garage, I was tired of having it in the living room and I moved it back in the garage but in the center so the workers could finish whatever work was still being done.  It seemed like they were finished and enough time had past and we hadn't heard from anyone, so I decided I would start organizing this weekend.  And I did...

This is where I finished.  It was dark out, and I couldn't find a broom so I thought it was as good a place as any to stop.  I wanted to sweep up before I starting putting anything away on the ground and moving things into what will most likely be their place for the foreseeable future.

My W.I.P. art studio.  I have big plans for a lot of things now that the garage is ours again!  Les is even talking about setting up an art station in the garage for mold making.  That could push this house's creativity to an all new high.  But I don't want to get ahead of myself.  On the way home from work picked up extension cords, a broom and dust pan for the garage, and a mop for inside.  I plan on doing some more cleaning this week, and then finish this bad boy off over the weekend.  More pics to follow once it's all ready to show...
-eD

Forgot to post this...

The Spare room.

At least it was how it looked like.  now I have a different chair in there (instead of the two foldables) and a guitar stand for when I want to put down my bass for a few minutes without putting it to bed back in the case.  Guess instead of explaining all that I could just take a more recent picture but it's all the way downstairs...
-eD

too many 1's

11/11/11 @ 11:11
meant to send this on time, ended up accidentally sending it early.  But it worked out considering I had a mini meeting then lost track of time while doing some work and totally missed the "neato" time by like 13 minutes... 
maybe tonight at 11:11pm...
or in another hundred years...
-eD

Trippy Start to a Day...

While walking into work today I accidentally kick the curb mid-stride and tripped myself.  I had one hand in my hoodie pocket and the other was holding a water bottle so immediately realized i had no hands to protect my fall.  Luckily I just staggered forward a few feet while throwing my elbows around.  Anyone behind me just saw a loon for a few steps who showed a few inches of bare skin back and most likely an inch or so of boxers.  I laughed the rest of the way across the street.  What a way to start a Friday...  at least it woke me up more than my morning coffee usually does...
-eD

Played video games, organized my room, put the garage stuff back in the garage, and started to set up the spare room for exercise and to practice my bass. I figure I will finish off my room in the next week, and next weekend I will tackle the garage, re-organize, and setup my paint station again. Make it look nicer than before. Now onto tequila w/ mt dew with rock band.
-eD

Recap

Haven't posted in days so let me give a little recap. The weekend finished off bitter sweet. On Saturday right before the Stan Sakai exhibit my "new" sunglasses broke, the ones I was so excited about with the hatchet man on the sides. They cracked right above the lens. Makes me believe I should never spend more than $10 on a pair of shades...
Then I found out that all Saturday and Sunday tickets to the Tim Burton show were sold out. I never thought that you would need to order tickets for a museum show. They only had tickets for between Sunday and Monday from about midnight to 9 am or so, and since I had to work Monday I decided against the super last minute late night museum trip.
On Saturday I stopped @ the grocery store to pick up a pumpkin for some last minute carving but they stopped selling pumpkins 2 days before Halloween... Lame.
But on a positive note the roommate we've been trying to get rid of for almost 2 months finally left. The waste of space and big ball of negative energy is finally gone. It still hasn't totally sunk in. Hopefully this weekend after we clean the house top to bottom and start to invite people over again should help.
Trick or treating went well. Almost 2 bags of candy gone. But we didn't decorate so even though we were sitting in the driveway with candy near the sidewalk some kids just walked right past. Kids gotta be thorough. Check every house for the possibility of free candy. Don't be lazy and just go to the decorative houses. Jeeze Louise.
Oh and last night I shaved off my Halloween beard finally. Now I'm back to stache and goat, at least for a bit. I also trimmed my nose hair destroying evolutions efforts to keep harmful things out of my nostrils for the sole purpose of not havin any bits of hair trying to escape from my nose. Strange.
-eD

Halloween Costume...

This was the first year where I broke my "don't repeat the same costume twice in one year".  I wasn't confident in my second costume, I didn't put the time into it that I wanted to, so it will have to hold and maybe get added to by half price Halloween costume pieces from the seasonal stores.  But I figured since the first time I tried the costume I won a costume contest, I figured it was worthy to do again this past weekend.  Anyhoo here's some pics from the last two costumes...

Supplies... 

scissors for cutting inches off of my goatee and trimming it in the mirror to make it match the length of my beard.  Then eyeliner, cheap black lipstick, and tons of clown paint...

One of the only pictures from the first costume party.  

I went as Captain Spaulding from the movies "House of 1000 Corpses" and "the Devil's Rejects".  I think the paint turned out better the first time, but I don't have any pictures really.  I was in a rush after the first party that I came home put on the costume & paint, and ran out the door.  Not only forgetting to take any pictures, but also forgetting my camera.  There are some pictures from other people at the party.  But in LA it's all about who you know, and I don't know the people with the pictures.

Round 2

forgot to paint the red circles on the cheeks this time around.  I was in a rush again and didn't want to keep the guys waiting, and I was excited for the Sat before Halloween!  I remembered first time I looked in the mirror once I got to the party.  It made me sad but no one seemed to notice and everyone liked my costume.

Plus I had a reason to act goofy all night cause there were puffballs on my shirt...

We were suppose to stop at the party for a bit where I hardly knew anyone and the people that I knew there hardly knew anyone.  Then we were planning on going downtown to see the people who go crazy with costumes and makes spectacles of themselves, but we never made it...

"I Peed.  It was good."

You could write on the mirrors with dry erase markers. So of course I did...

Leaving the Party...

Left the party around 3 am, after having had the paint on since about 8pm.  You can tell it started to wear off around my eyes and lips.  It was a fun Halloween season and I still get to hand out candy to children tomorrow after work!

-eD

I know its like 230 but the "paRty" I'm @ won't play skee lo - I wish.  Lame...

Year of the Rabbit

Went to lunch with my buddy turner then to the stan sakai exhibit at the Japanese American National Museum.

It was pretty awesome.  Very inspiring stuff. I need to get back into my samurai project...
Now to get mentally and physically prepped for the face paint for tonight.
-eD

A lotta stress @ the house this week, but it's halloween weekend time for fun. Gameplan is Stan sakai & tim burton art shows and costume fun. all in 2 days! -eD

I hope it's not a bad omen that my fortune cookie from lunch didn't have a fortune... -eD

New Phone!

After like 5 years or so I finally get a new phone... It's still very basic, but it does everything I would want a phone to do.  Text, Phone, Alarm, Camera.

It's pretty small, same height as my old phone but wider with a larger screen.

And it's a slide phone!  Don't know why I like those so much.  It's like my old phone but better and with a full keyboard!

Now to get all my ringtones back, and to make some new ones Bwah Ha Ha Ha!
-eD

Bathroom Fun

Bought some fake poo on the Internet. It was like $2 so I figured it was well worth a laugh or two. I've had it in the bathroom on top of the commode for a few days now and my roommate les, that I share a bathroom with, has not said anything about it.

I figured he would have said something. I mean it doesn't look too natural.

Maybe he just doesn't want to give me the satisfaction...
-eD

Walked past a homeless man who had an ipod hooked up to a boombox. He was playing paul simon, you can call me al. It was awkward. Not use to that. -eD

Trimmed a few inches off of my goatee last night then while shaping it it ended up almost being the same length as my beard. It feels strange...

SUPERFAST Trolley Tour of (some of) San Diego!

These next videos show (in a very sped up fashion) my trip to and from comic-con 2011 via trolley.  The Music is two remixes of the song "momentet" by Danish rapper L.O.C. I couldn't get this song out of my head during the con so I thought it only fitting to put both remixes to the sped up video.  

This was my first attempt at super speeding up footage.  Not sure what I think of it yet (WARNING: these videos may cause motion sickness!). 

I think it's trippy to see some of the stuff wiggle because of how it interpretted the mash-up of frames.  The first one going to the con had an original footage length of 21 minutes and leaving the con, and leaving the con had an original length of 35 minutes.  I'm in no way saying that this is in any way good editing or even a good idea, I just wanted to do it to see what it would look like.  Curiosity sated... 

-eD

Ghost Flower!

Dun Dunnn Dunnnnnnn Ghost Flower!  A few months back we noticed a very large spider starting a web near your rain gutter in the back of the house.  That was a windy weekend and I guess the spider gave up on his web but there were still tons of webs hanging around.  One of them was strong enough to be able to hold an entire flower.  I saw it swing in front of the upstairs office window while working and had to take a video of it.

Haven't Posted in a while.

Wow, I haven't realized how long it has been since my last post. I'm not sure if I've forgotten anything that I wanted to post for before even.  But at least I can talk about this past week.  I've had the week off of work because we are waiting for the client to approve us to start on the next part of cinematics because the scripts and storyboards haven't been finished yet and there is no reason to pay us to sit on your rumps and wait for the "go-ahead".  Since I've been home I've been working on ideas for shorts and even planning a possible round 2 of the Hands project though some of the ideas are a lot more difficult it may be more of a once or twice a week posts. But first I wanted to figure out how many to do this go-around and what order to complete them for postings.  I've also been catching up on some video projects that I've wanted to finish.  Though one project is already in the eternal back burner because when I shot it the lighting was too different on the shots to meld them together.  I've also reworked some scripts of things that I wanted to start.  I know once certain things change in the next few weeks, I will be back to super-creative but since I don't talk about personal things that annoy me on here if they're not funny, I will keep it to myself but will most likely post a long ranting post once it is all over.
On Wednesday I went to see a free screener of the movie Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters, which takes an interesting look at the fabled Hansel and Gretel who when grown up become witch hunters and travel hunting and killing witches.  It was still a work in progress considered there were still shots that needed wire removal, final cg characters or items, and even some shots that had crash mattes when characters fell but it was still pretty good.  Then afterwards we went to Buffalo Wild Wings for some beers and some wings.  It was pretty fun to go out again.  On Thursday we went to Venice and walked around for a bit, got nostalgic for being around Venice again and ate at the Sidewalk Cafe where we use to eat when we worked at Radical 3D, and then went to a few thrift shops and costume shops getting ideas and trying to find some costume ideas for Halloween.  Not too much luck but I may be able to just rework what I have and not create a totally hand crafted mask, still questioning that aspect.  well back to my random project catch up times before going back into work on Monday...

Stuffy...

Got a mild cold that has got me a bit stuffed up. Tried to use Mucinex DM but it was way too strong and made me downright loopy for a bit. Then after the 12 hours ran out I wasn't really thinking and drank a 40 while playing some video games after work. I was asleep by ten thirty. Then of course I woke up at about 2, and had trouble getting back to sleep. Not so good. Dayquil didn't seem to work either. But it's getting better and I know not to use Mucinex DM if I have to do anything important, even driving. Loopy!

5k

I signed up for a 5k run next October. It's been about what 11 or so years since I ran more than a mile at a time, but I have a year to get into shape for it.

http://runforyourlives.com/

A zombie run! How cool is that? It reminds me of the "Let's get Dirty" race @Slippery Rock. There are multiple races across the country. I am going to be running for my life in San Diego with 2 friends (only 2 right now that is). I'm pretty excited about it. And what better reason to get into shape then being chased by zombies!?!?

Secrecy

I've been working on something that I can't talk about.  But it's a great opportunity that I couldn't pass up...

Lesbian Cops

On Sunday I was at the filming of the 5th finale epsiode of Lesbian Cops. Got up @530 (on a Sunday) tonhelp out my friend Dave which the shoot. I was a gun wielding henchman, or I could say, I was 3 gun wielding henchmen. Costume changes with masks and bandanas and I'm a new man! It was a lot of fun, two of my guys get shot and killed, one though makes it to the bitter end. We'll see if he comes back for season 2 or the movie even.
I even got to help with the boom mic a bit for some of the shots once all my henchmen wrapped. It was a lot of fun.
The trailer is on YouTube, Facebook, and funnyordie.com. Not sure when the first episode will drop, though it should be very soon. My episode comes out late October. I'm excited it looks good.

My New Best Friend...

the box arrives...

I wait a few hours until it seems everything has settled down and cut it open...

A small green felt man sits inside...

He crawls out to introduce himself as Johnny B. Muppet...

And I promptly put him on and start having a blast!

He has already learned how to pick his nose...

He even wears a hoodie for all his thuggish-ness to show.

It is creepy when he watches me sleep though...

I was hoping to get him without a mustache (so he would look like the left and more like me) but fao shwartz wouldn't allow it.  it turned out pretty close to the product image (right) though.  Of course it also gives me much more reason to grow my stache back...

I was hoping to shoot some video with him this past weekend but it got too busy, maybe this weekend...
