In addition to writing, I periodically like to dip my toes into other areas of creativity. While writing is a great outlet of individual expression for me, it is by no means the sole manner in which I choose to purge my creative demons (does anybody really have only one?). Below are some other areas of interest I've tinkered with over the years. I'm saving roller coaster designer and industrial architect for later in life. Cheers!

Graphic Design

Okay, so I'm not the greatest artist, but I love messing around with graphic design. From the various webpages I've designed--this being one of them--to the images below I threw together for a goof on CafePress, drawing and design have been recurring, constant tools used in virtually everything I've done. I also design my own book jackets.

As you can see, I also love music. By the way, if you like any of these images you can check out my "store" by clicking here or on the logo at right.

Screenwriting/ Filmmaking

For years--10 to be exact--I aspired to write for the silver screen. I wrote a handful of feature scripts, some of them award winning and, as my bio says, even had a couple of my short scripts produced. One of these scripts I not only wrote, but produced and directed as well. It's called Cycle and credits for it and me can be found at IMDB.

I'm working on uploading the short so you can take a look, so check back if you want to see it.
