Some of the incredible stunting that was going on outside The Evel Knievel Experience in Las Vegas this past Saturday. A sincere thanks to Joe Pennington and the entire muster crew for being such incredible hosts. It was an honor to be included.
We at Half Evil Comics were delighted to be invited to Grand Opening Gala at the Evel Knievel Experience in Las Vegas! Tons more coming on this. Stay tuned!
This guy got hired to write a pretty cool movie today (can’t say what just yet). Apparently, they still make those.
The Cherry Capital Comic Con put me on a trading card! Here all weekend signing. Stop by!

One of the first big jobs my consulting firm - @shoshincreativelab.bsky.social - ever handled was the official GUTTER CAT GANG comic book. With help from the community, we built from scratch and marketed this incredible comic that tallied over $1,000,000 in sales.
Honored & elated to have been nominated for the 2026 GARY REED INDEPENDENT CREATOR OF THE YEAR AWARD. Incredible to be recognized for the work Half Evil Comics is doing in the community and that @benfreeproject.bsky.social and I have been doing inside correctional facilities. Much more to come!
Publishers Weekly put together this a write up about the partnership my company Shoshin Creative Lab forged with @chrisjmancini.bsky.social's White Cat Entertainment.

My 1st black belt was in the Chuck Norris/Pat Johnson Tang Soo lineage. We lost them both recently. Sad, but also illuminating. I taught stuff to students this morning that was taught to me by someone who learned it directly from Pat & Chuck. The things we put out into the world make us immortal.
For all you physical media loons HAUNTED HEART - the film I made with Academy Award-winning Director Fernando Trueba and Matt Dillon - is available on DVD & Blue-ray via fine retailers everywhere.
