When the power went off at my apartment it was midday, and even with the blinds closed (to preserve heat), there was enough ambient light for me to gather my necessary belongings and pack my bags so that I could evacuate to the warmth of my friends’ home. However, once I stepped out the door [...]

Back in late summer of 2010, when it became certain that I was going to be relocating back to the Pacific Northwest, I began boxing up my belongings in anticipation of the move. I misjudged how soon the move would happen by about 7 weeks, so I ended up living with my office and living [...]
Yeah, it’s been a while since I made a post. And it’s been a while that’s been full of lots of interesting things. New apartment, new job, new personal projects … just lots of new. And I’ve wanted to post here more … I’ve been meaning to, really … but the one thing that isn’t [...]

It’s Friday night, and the staff seemed REALLY worn out, which I imagine happens EVERY week but ESPECIALLY so on weeks when big action movies launch … or big teen culture movies … or movies starring Hollywood icons … so [...]
A video of an octopus stealing a camera away from a diver, then making a run for it … or a swim for it … whatever.

Well … really it’s two tales of zombies. But that doesn’t make nearly as catchy a title. First a short piece of animation called The Last Duet on Earth. And the second being a trailer for something intriguingly enough called Hamilton Carver, Zombie P.I. Hamilton Carver: Zombie PI Trailer 1 from Granite Kiss on Vimeo.
Sometimes when I’m driving alone in the car I find myself absently speaking aloud in strange accents. (Don’t call the funny farm yet … let me explain.) It’s a writing thing … particularly a comics writing thing. It’s important to me that I understand HOW various accents work so that I can translate them into [...]
