2. My first solo film ‘The Magnificent Pigtail Shadow” was narrated by Kristin Hersh and released on dvd by noiseville.com with a documentary short about my art and concepts for the film by KC Duggan called “Don’t title this” and another short I filmed/directed with POWER ANIMAL performance artist Jason Martin called “Fibbin’ Dowser”.Back a few years ago now spent a great week touring my films in California. Did a screening on an actual siver screen at Downtown Independent in LosAngeles and at the famed Roxie in San Francisco and spent an incredible day shooting in Big Sur between the two. I used the footage in my film ” Cease-Hounds uv thuh Eat-Turn-It-Tea” (Sea sounds of the Golden Eternity) for’ Lowell Celebrates Kerouac’ festival in Jack’s bustling hometown of Lowell Massachusetts…a great honor for me.

10. ooh, they use a few of my posters on Blake’s bedroom wall in Comedy Central’s ‘Workaholics”…he’s the longer haired character.
Summer in New York was short and hot this year near the Great Lakes. Spent plenty of time in my cheap plastic chair by the fir tree drinking tea and feeding dog biscuits to Lucy next door -had plenty of fun making new collages with cut paper and acrylic on my studio floor – spent mucho time shooting footage for my next film around the Adirondacks, the Atlantic, the Rockies from a plane-developed an almost unhealthy addiction to Terry Riley, LaMonte Young’s music and watching Esther Williams swim. My neighbor’s cat needs a bell to alert the chipmunks and baby squirrels I pry from his mouth most nights – found a waving yellow plastic bunny in Lowell that waves to me from my nightstand now. Winter is horrible here. Vitamin D tablets a necessity.
