Sick Men, Unlikely 2.0, Bomb It, & Crash Course


May 18th, 2008

Been really busy, so here’s just a quick update…

Sick Men is now up on Unlikely 2.0. Unlikely 2.0 is a collision of words and art. To Jonathan Penton and the rest of the folks there: keep up the good work!

The folks at the diy video site, wonderhowto, seem to think James St. James and Lenora Claire are highly edutaining. They found Crash Course and plan to put it on their homepage. Thanks guys!

For a little while now I’ve been web consultant/strategist for the huge new graffiti documentary, Bomb It. They had a great theatrical release and their web presence is really rocking; they currently have #1 google search result for ‘graffiti movie‘. sure, i helped steer them along, but I can’t really take the credit. a blog is only about as good as it’s content, and Jon and Tracy are really doing a great job with it. kudos guys.

In other news, I’m developing a short right now. Totally excited about it. will post more about it soon.

Introducing…CrashCourse


April 13th, 2007

Careful. You just might learn something…

CrashCourse is a web series based on the idea that everyone knows how to do something. Each episode stars a special guest teaching you how to do something they’re good at. It’s useful…it’s weird…it’s edutainment.

The host of CrashCourse is the lovely Lenora Claire. Helming the project is its creator and director, me.

Here are the demo episodes (on myspace). In them James St. James, author of Party Monster and Freak Show (releasing May 17th 2007), teaches you how to make high-fashion outfits out of ingredients found in your kitchen. If you ever wanted to know how to make a wig out of vermicelli, it truly is your lucky day.
