Exciting Updates on My Screenplays, Novel and Comic Series

I’m pleased to announce that my latest screenplay, a dark comedy called “Some Restrictions Apply”, has been completed and turned over to the production company developing it. I’m really pleased how this one turned out. It’s a strong character piece that may contain some of my best dialogue to date. I’ll keep you posted on the development cycle. I have no updates on my other script “Akamanto” just yet. I’m waiting on my co-writer to wrap up some edits on what I hope to be the final draft.

In the meantime, Kevin is hard at work coloring issue #3 of “Shadowblade”. It’s moving a lot slower than anticipated, but it’s moving, so that’s something at least. We will be finishing the series.

So that just leaves me with “Death Just Wanted To Eat Waffles”. I am pleased to say that I am now on this full time. I’m about 150 pages in and will be sticking to it until completion. The conclusion to the Oceanview trilogy is likely going to be a lot longer than the two previous books. I’m not limiting myself to a page count, so when it’s done, it’s done. I’m excited how the ending to the trilogy is turning out. As I’m digging deeper into the story, I’m making new discoveries about the world I’ve created. If you think you’ve figured out where the ending could be going, you’re likely wrong 🙂 I am working a major twist into the conclusion which feels like a natural ending to the characters. We’ll also be spending more time in Hell getting to know Lucifer a little better. Drop a comment if you have some theories!

Introducing Zubees: A New Era in Pop Culture Art

Comicones, my stylized pop culture art project, is something that has been near and dear to me for almost a decade. It’s a silly project that has been a wonderful stress reliever. The core concept is the base design for all characters is the same. A metaphor that at our most basic, all humans are built from the same foundations. It’s the details that make us unique. Indeed it is the details in the characters that makes them (hopefully) instantly recognizable.

Since 2016 I have created over 1,000 designs from all aspects of pop culture. My Teepublic store is an official licensee of Adventure Time, Cobra Kai, Jay and Silent Bob, Rick and Morty, Shaun of the Dead, Star Trek and Squid Game.

This year, I’ve decided to breath some life into the project. First off, I’ve decided to rename it to Zubees. I wanted something a little more playful. I feel it rolls off the tongue a little easier and it’s more memorable.

I’ve also played with the core template. I’ve changed the position of the arms and added more life to the facial expressions. The neck has been shortened slightly and I think it makes a big difference to the cute factor.

Also, so I can keep a better inventory of characters I’ve created, I’m turning each character into a trading card.

With this new phase, I am not simply recreating the characters I drew under Comicones, I’m creating new ones to go along side them. For every three characters, I’m porting over, I am creating at least one new one. So far I have created characters from Sinners, K-Pop Demon Hunters, Creature Commandoes, and Super Mario Bros among others.

If you want to follow along on social media, you can find Zubees at:

I will be posting unique designs over the various platforms to keep fans engaged.

Progress on My New Writing Projects: Updates Inside

After a little gremlin in the system, my site is back online.

A quick update on things.

Shadowblade

Issue #3 is still being finished. Kevin is still hard at work coloring. I have finished the lettering and all covers are done. We still have a little ways to go, but it is going to be worth it.

Death Just Wanted To Eat Waffles

I just reached page 200 and am deep into the second act. As this is the conclusion to the trilogy I have a lot of threads to wrap up.

*secret horror script*

Turned over to the director. More news coming as soon as I can. NDA’s and all that.

Trading Grandma

My new screenplay that is actually going to be a stage play first. It’s a dark humor script that I will reveal more later. Wrapping up the first draft. Hoping to get it finished on the flight to Tokyo next week. In other news, I’m going to Tokyo next week!!!
