Oh, teasers are teasers and spoilers are spoilers and never the twain shall meet. The subject of spoilers came up the other day after a New York Times article essentially spoiled the ending to DC Comics' big Batman/Catwoman wedding storyline. Not only did they spoil it, they spoiled it in the damn headline! Fan response…

May 17, 2018: Dark Matter Episode 401 – Act 1!
I experienced a range of emotions upon hearing of Dark Matter's surprising cancellation: disbelief, anger, sadness, and a lot of frustration at the thought of leaving this story incomplete.

April 24, 2018: The Five Producers You Meet In Hell!
About a year ago, I touched on one of the most inscrutable aspects of film and television production: the mysterious producer credit. On any given movie or t.v. series, it's fairly easy to identify the respective roles of actors, directors, writers, camera persons, and crafts service personnel - but when it comes to identifying a…

You've just wrapped up your very first round of Hollywood meet-and-greets, sit-downs with production and broadcast executives all over town, and if there is one indisputable fact you can take away from the glorious experience it's this: Everyone wants to work with you!

March 12, 2018: Ships of Stargate: SG-1!
Every so often, I get requests for concept work and designs related to the various ships featured on Stargate.
