Hi, again!
I have been working on putting together a poetry book for years and I finally released one in ebook format. It is called A Portrait of a Poison and is available in all ebook formats at Smashwords. I would appreciate it if you spread the word, checked it out, and added it to your to-read shelf on Goodreads. If you do buy it and read it, please leave a review on Smashwords and Goodreads!
Also, if you are in the Seattle area, you will finally get the chance to see one of my films on the big screen. My 48 Hour Film will be screening on Thursday August 7 at 9 PM. I am the director/writer, so I would really love some support in the audience!
I hope you all are well!

A 2021 Life Update
2020 was terrible, for obvious reasons. The year affected me in weird, unproductive ways. In January, I had to take two of my pet rats in for surgery. They are doing well now, but one has to go back for more surgery soon because she has two more tumors. Fortunately, they are currently small, so it should not be as worrisome (and expensive) as the last surgery. Aside from all that, a music video I shot for Angelspit is available on their Ignorance Cartel VHS exclusively. It'll be released on Youtube later in the year. UPDATE: FEBRUARY 19th! I'm running Neato Kino Movie Club every last Sunday of the month. Last month, we watched Ichi the Killer and talked about it on a stream. These streams are open to ANYONE, as long as you communicate with me your interest. Our next film for February is Eve's Bayou. We'd love some more perspectives, so if you like that movie and want to talk about it, let me know and I'll get you in. Requirement is to watch it before the stream at some point so
A Productive Day
I have had a kind of a productive day today, strangely. My energy levels have been shot the past week and a half, so not much has been getting done (at least not very quickly). My dog-walking client said her COVID test is negative, so I'm back to walking tomorrow since she'll be at work. I had therapy, which turned out to be mostly talking about dogs and art, with the occasional complaint of people not listening to me or each other. Poor communication is officially my biggest pet peeve, I think. I rescheduled my December appointment with my psychiatrist. I called the exotics vet about my rats' tumors (waitlisted, bleh). AND I CLEANED THE BATHROOM. Having a clean bathroom is pretty energizing, honestly. My wedding anniversary is Saturday (10 YEARS!), but we can't do anything because of all the restrictions. I don't even know what I would want to do at this point because my trust of any people has been totally shot with how everyone in the USA is acting lately. I want to enter my
How to Obtain Copyrights for Film/Video Projects
Copyright Weekend
By now you have read the previous articles from our Copyright Weekend and are familiar with the terms, legal grey areas, and art-specific topics, such as reference photos and fan art. But if you want to make a film or video, where do you go to obtain music, sound effects, or other audio necessities in order to make your video meet your vision? How would you get stock footage or 3D models for an animated film without doing all the work yourself?
There are many options!
First, you can reach out to the creator or copyright owner. This is easily accomplished by finding the contact information (usually email, not social media
Copyright Glossary of Terms
Copyright Weekend
Welcome to our Copyright Weekend! This weekend, we will be helping you understand various copyright laws with common art forms. To get started, we are giving you a glossary of common terms relevant to making art for the internet.
First, a disclaimer.I am not a lawyer and I cannot give you legal advice. The following information is what I know from media and art business classes in addition to my own research into public knowledge.
Of course, copyright laws are specific to countries and when work is on the internet, it gets confusing. This article, in particular, will reflect a lot of what is common in the US government be
