Seems like I’m only blogging once a year judging from the previous blog date.
Since my last blog entry I produced and arranged distribution for feature film entitled Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Shark. As one might guess from the title, it is a somewhat humorous spin on the classic horror tale by Robert Louis Stevenson.
Between January and May of 2024 I curated volume 9 of ROAD KILL: Texas Horror by Texas Writers. I was surprised by the high quality of submissions this year and I am extremely happy with the resulting anthology. My co-creator, E.R. Bills, has been very complimentary regarding the collection, so I am not alone in thinking this is one of the best RKs ever.
In January of 2023, I met Becky Major. Becky is one of the owners of the Proletariat Gallery in Galveston, Texas. I was impressed with the Proletariat and asked how I could display my paintings there. She told me there was an 18 month waiting list. I asked to be put on the list and this month I was finally able to hang art in this unique and wonderful gallery. The title of my exhibition is Pharaoh’s Dream. The display is comprised of 23 paintings and a glass display case containing 14 of my book and DVD products. I cannot thank Becky and Julie and the rest of the staff at Proletariat enough for their wonderful realization of Pharaoh’s Dream!
I do not usually post a lot of photos in the blog section of this site but I thought I’d make an exception this time and post all the paintings currently on display at the Proletariat Gallery.

Because of Hurricane/Tropical Storm Beryl the opening of Pharaoh’s Dream was postponed for one week. I am amazed at how quickly Galvestonians recover from these Gulf floods but I suppose they have had a lot of practice over the years.
Lots of love and gratitude to the staff of Proletariat Gallery and to all the folks who purchased items on opening night 07/20/2024.
While at the Proletariat, I had the pleasure and privilege of being interviewed by Mr. Jim Bratton. Jim is a veteran voice talent from the Houston area. His mellifluous voice and charming personality have led him to be known as ‘the voice that explains things.’
Jim currently hosts ‘From the Pro,’ a podcast of interviews with the many artists who exhibit their work in the Proletariat Gallery. The video below is our interview with accompanying visuals.
