Entry Into The Bloggerdome

Tonight, I adventure into vast and uncharted territory...ok, maybe not so uncharted for you, but for myself--this is high adventure. It is 3:35 am here in Los Angeles, CA, and I should be dreaming up the next scene in my soon-to-be-born feature film...but this could wait no longer. I met a guy named Howard Shum tonight on my way in to a screening of "Feast Of Love", which is an exceptional film I definitely would recommend seeing two or three times soon! A well-casted and deeply moving film with great comical moments, beautiful shots and strong, atypical writing.
So I was in line with Howard Shum, discussing screen writing and then art. Howard inks for comic books, is a talented artist in his own right, (check him out: www.howardshum.com) and an interesting and genuine character. He was also generous enough to share a "Gun Fu" comic book sample with me which he writes and inks. It had great style with lots of pop to it. I went from there, after the screening ended, into Shum's website and checked it out pretty thoroughly. I came across his blogs, and next thing you know... I am here beginning my own blog. I knew I would have to sooner or later, but when...? I guess it is right now! You may be the first to read this. It is late for me, so I am going to simply say, for the moment~~These words of my own personal advice:
There is no financial compensation for a life half-lived. Start living up to your own expectations and putting your dreams back together. Trust that what you love to do will keep you fed and clothed and sheltered.
I am going through this transition in my life right now of trusting in my art and writing dreams. I have held my light under wraps for a long time. This is the dawn of what I intend to make into my true career path. NO MORE painting houses while my soul aches, chained down by a lack of balls to trust my instincts. NO MORE waiting around for the ship to come in. I begin building this mothership tonight, and I welcome you to climb aboard, join the fleet or lead the way out of port! AAAaaarrrrrgghhHHH!!!!!! hmmmm.....

Whoa, I think it's time to sail off to sleep... Oh--thanks! Knowing you only get so many minutes, I appreciate that you spent a few in here in my new blog... More to come soon...I am so tired.

Peace...
