Promo for my comic book Edgar Rue



I plan on creating at least 12 issues of Edgar Rue. Maybe more if the response is promising. I have a hard time summing up this comic. A pal of mine thought it was Tim Burton meets Dr.Seuess.

I can roll with that since they are two major influences on me.

The song in the promo is called "Edgar's Theme". I wrote it with the hopes of ripping off a Danny Elfman vibe without copying him outright.

There will be a new Boron Comics website soon, featuring Edgar and other comics by myself. Until then, IndyPlanet.com is the best place to buy issues of Edgar Rue.

Watching Children Play



I like to drink whiskey under the tree by the playground. It's poignant watching all the little kids running around. Screaming their little faces off. Pretending to be pirates, or firemen, or aliens, or gangstas. It's amazing to see how alive they are now, and to think of how dead they will someday be.

Not in some sick, or morbid fantasy. Just a solid, healthy realization.

That little girl on the slide. Car wreck.

The chubby little boy on the teeter-totter. Cancer.

Ditto for the boy on the opposing teeter-totter.

In fact, several will go from cancer.

The girl on the monkey-bars. Drug overdose.

That daredevil on the merry-go-round looks more like a suicide to me.

Sad? I guess. Hopefully I won't be around to see any of them go. I got my own schedule.

Speaking of which, I better get back my birthday picnic.

Cake is waiting.

"Lullabye"





New video for my song- "Lullabye" This was made in Photoshop and After Effects. I was trying to simulate the look of an old film of an old plate-puppet show. Not sure if I fully hit that mark, but I do like the look of it.

Thanks to Christopher Hart and Kristina Boyd for loaning me their photographable mugs for my lost little plate-puppets. I buy their situation. I hope you do as well.
