April 23, 2019: More from the Stargate trove!
So, last night I found myself with a window of free time between my two scripts and my episode 1 cut (that never materialized) and seized the opportunity to go through the various discs, DV's, and hard-drives I'll be shipping out to MGM this week. I can't access a good 95% of the material, but…
January 14, 2019: Flashback Monday!
Lunch date today with Zoie Palmer (aka Dark Matter's Android). You wouldn't believe how much she ordered. I mean, I could barely keep up! Great to hear she had a crazy-busy 2018 - and is looking ahead to an even crazier and busier 2019! Came across some behind the scenes pics from the Dark Matter…

July 9, 2018: Photobucket Finds – Stargate: Atlantis Edition!
I happened across the photobucket website earlier today and recalled "Hey, I think I actually had a bunch of videos uploaded there at one point."

July 2, 2018: On Spoilers!
Oh, teasers are teasers and spoilers are spoilers and never the twain shall meet.

Every so often, I get requests for concept work and designs related to the various ships featured on Stargate.
