Patricia Piccinini. The amazing art Patricia Piccinini. Upon first finding her sculptures by accident, I had to do a series of double takes to fully understand what I had found. Science and art merge in bliss to create realistic wonder scenarios. These sculptures are the closest we may come in a long while into discovering new complex life, but in turn are also a direct root to the subconscious of mother earth. Images are oddly disturbing because of their familiar nature, yet oddly comforting for the same reason.

- Ralph Steadman: Artist and long time friend of Dr. of Gonzo Journalism, the late great Hunter S. Thompson. His art has encapsulated generations and captured the imagination of millions. His style is unmistakably pronounced and totally unlike anything else on the planet.

Being as that I'm such an avid Mystery Science Theater 3000 fan, imagine my surprise when I came across this shining gem via an over cluttered cyberspace. MST 3000 fans eat your heart out!!

Samuel French is a good resource for stage plays of many types. If you are curious about why I added this particular link search for John Well's "Competition Piece". John Wells was my first Drama teacher and perhaps guilty of lighting a spark which turned into much of what you see here. If it wasn't for him I definitely wouldn't have been involved in the obsession of production, direction, and developing an artform. In this particular play "Competition Piece" I was quite literally a minor character - that is to say that Tom Parsons was played by; you guessed it TJPARSONS. This play has won countless highschool one act play competitions across the United States and continues to grow in popularity. I have even moved to another state and met people that have played me (this of course is kind of surreal). If you want your school to win a one act play competition this is a surefire ace up the sleeve that will more than double your chances. If you just want your school's drama department to rake in some money with a good comedy, it can deliver that as well.

A truly interesting project. Full length movie done in after effects. It depicts an interpretation of the Indian epic "the Ramayana." If you have the slightest belief in promoting open mindedness, or just like to explore other cultures; take a gander.

- This is a vector flash site that I have frequented for many years. The only way to understand what Tokyo plastic is is to experience it first hand. The main draw for me is the animation "drum machine" which has been a source of meditation inspiration at the end of a stressful day.

I openly support the theatre. I highly reccomend visiting this website, and plan perhaps a dinner date or a family outting around some of the finest entertainment in the Shenadoah Valley and beyond. I hear many positive reviews of performances from many walks of life; which to me speaks highly of its caliber.
