Well, we’re two weeks into the year, so this may be a record number of posts to this blog within one year. 

This week, I continued working on season 3 of Triple Play for Playboy TV, which as always is a great experience to work on and I hope we keep making this show for a long time.  I didn’t get to run as much this week because of a lot of rain in Los Angeles, and it looks like the back half of this coming week is going to have a lot of rain as well.  Great for our drought, bad for my running career J

On Tuesday I dropped off some F13 merch to Cinefamily for their screening of Friday the 13th Part III, with Larry Zerner in person.  Larry plays the character Shelly in the film, who brings a hockey mask to Camp Crystal Lake and I think you know the rest of the story.  He helped me get a copyright registration on the image that’s on the merch!  Last time I worked with Cinefamily they did a great job and sold a lot of my shirts, so I’m excited.

On Wednesday, Chelsea and I celebrated 7 ½ years together, many of them great!

We looked at some more houses, still haven’t seen anything to get too excited about.  I’m kind of hoping the housing market dips after Inauguration Day and whatever comes next.  Anyway, if I can just keep working and saving then we will have a better shot at the house we really want.

I was invited to do another Twilight Zone themed art show, this time at Bearded Lady’s Mystic Museum in Burbank.  I’ve started working on a pop art Rod Serling for the show and I’m very excited about it, very happy with my likeness.  I’ve never tried the pop art style in black and white before, so it’s fun.  And of course in my other spare time I’ve continued to work on my second feature documentary “Keep On Running” which has reached the notes phase of post, yay!

On Saturday, I had a table set up at the VHSwap Rewind It! event at Blast From the Past in Burbank.  It’s fun to get my art out there and meet people.  I had some good face time with a couple artists and a director that I would love to work for, but not a lot of sales.  Then I ran 5 miles along the LA River!

On Sunday, I had a big day hanging out with a great artist, Jeremy Cross, and a friend and gallery owner, Jeremy Schott.  We went to the LA Art Show at the convention center downtown and saw all the fancy art.  Wow, that place is crazy!  I’ve never seen a $5M price tag before in my life, but they had everything and all of it was for sale.  I saw some cool Lichtenstein prints and even some friend’s work at the show!  Very cool.  I met Gregario Escalante, I hope one day to show at his gallery.  Then I went to Silverlake Wine and picked up a silkscreen “Resist Hate!” sign by artist Eric Junker who has done some of my favorite murals around the city.


Continuing my trend of weird sleeping hours, I passed out at 9pm and slept until 5am, and now here I am!
