Eyes in the Sky

 This one is sort of weird! I love to look at the sky and see images in the clouds. I, recently, saw a five finger hand and to this day don’t know what it means? I often see eyes in the clouds ☁️ that look impressionistic like art but when I saw the hand ✋ something happened! So I have been taking pictures of the sky hoping for a repeat lol 😝 

Here’s a few pictures of the sky (not of the hand (lol)) that I think are pretty!

Enjoy!

If You're Interested in My Early Work Purchase These Two Books!!!

 I wrote two books at the beginning of the millennia that saw a little success but never really took off. So, because they were prototypes for scripts, I rewrote them recently and individually entered them into competitions. I took one script from THE ZEN COOKBOOK AND OTHER BIZARRE SCREENPLAYS called One Man's Choice and modernized it. I renamed it, THE CHOICE, and entered it into The BAFF or Big Apple Film Festival. It won!

The other script called *BEEP* was a cross between the namesake stories of both THE ZEN COOKBOOK and BOY: A STORY BASED ON TRUE EVENTS. BOY was the actual story of what happened with I and my autistic brother before his death and THE ZEN COOKBOOK was a colorful yet existential script based on the same upbringing. *BEEP* won The SIFF (Swedish International Film Festival).

So, if you get the chance, please pick up a copy of these books. The links to Amazon are below!

Some old music of mine!!!

 Back in the early 2000s I created music for an tv/webisode series called Human Game! Even though the video won 🥇 some awards, the music didn’t get much acclaim. Here’s the video for the test version of the opening credits to the show and the trailer that both have original music!!

Enjoy!!!

Esther Dillard’s Book and an Update

 I bought my cousin's book, and it was a fun/quick read!!! It took me one day to read and I am a slow reader! Full of pictures from her career and life in general, it was insightful as to why Black women go through such extremes to take care of their hair. It even gives a history of how Black hair was regarded and treated in Africa and the Americas with a bibliography to back her facts... she was a professor during her media career. It can be purchased on Amazon as a Kindle or paperback book!

Also, shortly after my zoom reading of THE LEPIDOPTERAN, I noticed some interesting hits on LinkedIn and other social media. Executives at HBO and NBC both checked out my profile on LinkedIn and the hit counter on this page jumped by 100 plus hits... HOORAY! I also got some pleasant inquires on Stage 32 from industry people who read the blog post that the site mailed out to its 750,000 subscribers!!! The agents that had access to the site and script said that they would check it out...

So, we push forward hoping for the best!
