You Want More Trump? (Part 2)

Yeah Marvel is at it again… no narrative, no use of metaphor, no nothing… just straight up preaching and political activism. So glad I stopped collecting marvel. What’s more, it’s a false narrative based on hate and fear mongering. The ban isn’t a muslim ban. It’s a travel ban against nations that harbor terrorism. That’s all. There are plenty of other countries that Muslims … Read More You Want More Trump? (Part 2)

Visual Writing?

Hi Jim, I’m having trouble writing a few of my characters. I have a picture in my head of how these people should look, but I’m having trouble translating that onto paper. Please help! Thanks, Mili Hi Mili, All right, the best thing you can do is make a visual of these characters. Do you have someone in mind that they are modeled after? … Read More Visual Writing?

Can video games be considered art?

It’s a tough question to answer. Certainly in this day and age they are not considered ‘high-art’ but when programming backgrounds and beautiful scenery, its hard not to consider them as such. Let’s consider Skyrim for a moment… someone (me) goes through hours upon hours coding, re-texturing, and updating the graphical properties of the game, using some mods he downloaded and some that he … Read More Can video games be considered art?

Meaningful Quote

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the election, regressive politics, and the continuous WAVE of people who have asked me to address my own political beliefs, which I have responded to en mas. And I think filmmaker and (ironically enough) known feminist Joss Whedon put it best: “I’ve said before, when you declare yourself politically, you destroy yourself artistically… Because suddenly that’s the … Read More Meaningful Quote

More Inspiration.

I’ve done some editing to this song, so my version is different then the one you’ll hear on their CD, and since I can’t post that here, I’ll give you the unedited version. This is something I listen to often during writing: Nightwish The Greatest Show On Earth Life After sleeping through a hundred million centuries we have finally opened our eyes on a … Read More More Inspiration.

Boston Film Family Photography

Never let it be said that I forget about the talent that helped bring my writing to life. This is the photographer who helped make this a reality: When I started out, I told him that I needed an image of a dark, war-torn angel, and this is what he came up with:   I’m happy to see that this is becoming a real … Read More Boston Film Family Photography

Damnation Cover… who’s responsible.

So I’ve already gotten a lot of positive feedback on the cover… A LOT OF POSITIVE FEEDBACK! I hope the interior lives up to it! I usually wait a week or so before I do a cover credit piece, but I can’t resist, especially since so many people were instrumental in making this a reality. So let’s start off with why we went with … Read More Damnation Cover… who’s responsible.

Fantasy Art, Chrissie Zullo

I know that this is slightly off-top for me, but I really couldn’t resist… Let me preface this by saying that I love comic book art. I have original pieces from Alex Savuik, Pop Mhan, and Zeke Savory Jr. I’d just like to say that whomever came up with the idea to print blank cover variants of popular books is a genius! So as … Read More Fantasy Art, Chrissie Zullo
