I came into the fleet as a young, idealistic Moai who was seeking adventure but what I found was a world filled with unimaginable decadence and deceit. Today I consider myself lucky to still be in one piece but it wasn’t always like this.

Mister Viddy Ponders…

January 6, 2011 by Mister Viddy

The future. I see many things. Now.

I am sitting on quite a few projects at the moment. I have my masks and my stickers and now I have to fire up the old blade to cut some stencils and on top of that I want to do some screen printing. Mister Viddy is busy.

Out In The Cold

December 19, 2010 by Mister Viddy

Minneapolis. It lives up to its reputation as being cold in the winter. Coming from Portland, Oregon I was a little anxious about experiencing a winter in the Twin Cities but now that I have survived my first blizzard I am beginning to enjoy this cold place. Yesterday found me walking along the Mississippi River on the Stone Arch Bridge and having a great time shooting photographs. I am amazed out how quickly I have acclimated to days that barely get above single digits and nights that are below zero.

Keyboard vs. Paper and Pen

November 8, 2010 by

So yeah, I have two websites, my twitter account and of course, Facebook and I am pretty much posting something to at least one of those sources on a daily basis. The funny thing is this, I hate typing on a keyboard. Call me ancient or call me a relic but the truth of the matter is I still enjoy writing with a pen and paper.

It just dawned on me this morning when I was thinking about the next script for Special Report. It made me realize that when I just go to the computer and start writing dialog it can feel so tedious that I want to stop immediately. But if I pull out a pad of paper and a pen, the writing process becomes much more enjoyable.

Even now as I am writing this post I get that feeling of wanting to rush through the process just so I can stop pounding on the keyboard. But I suppose that it is a necessary evil that I must endure. For one thing, my computer does not run out of ink and my cats aren’t able to run across the monitor leaving little kitty paw prints. Well, that’s it. I’ve said my piece and now it’s time to finish my morning coffee.
