Who am I?
I'm general counsel for a medium-sized tax-exempt organization that operates alternative sentencing programs for court-involved populations.
I'm also a development/fundraising professional and provide legal advice and guidance to start-up entertainment firms.
I'm a contributor to Funnybook Babylon and my ever-expanding bookshelf is here. I infrequently write about food and take pictures.
I'm also the happiest newlywed in the world.
That's everything.
The Emperor and I’s entry to the 2000AD forum May art competition, themed around the olympics.
Jon did an amazing job on this, I couldn’t be happier.
The competition thread is here if anyone wants to enter, there is still the weekend. Thanks to CrazyFoxMachine for running it.
Don’t forget the 2000AD forum art and short story competitions have two (2!!) prizes each - one from the round of voting and a special Tharg’s Choice, where the galaxy’s greatest despot picks his own favourite based on his strange and alien whims.

Dave Sim draws Malcolm X! Wow.
Interesting…. I’m fascinated by the way Sim draws clothing (the suit feels more formal for some reason…) Click here for the original.

Great shot. Can’t wait to see Cruel Summer.

…I love how futuristic the cover to this album was. El Debarge sample wins, btw.
A teaser for Four, a new film from Joshua Sanchez, adapted from a play by Christopher Shinn. The film features performances from Wendell Pierce, Aja Naomi King, Emory Cohen, E.J. Bonilla and Yolanda Ross.
The premise?
“A steamy July 4th night brings four people together in two tales of seduction and conflicted desire. Joe is a black, middle-aged, married man out on an Internet date with June, a white teenage boy. Abigayle is Joe’s precocious daughter, out herself with a hot, wisecracking, Latino basketball player named Dexter. As the two couples get to know each other intimately, their realities are tested, and the outcome is bracing.”
Sounds intriguing. To donate to the Kickstarter (which will help them take the film, cast, etc. to film festivals over the next few months), click here.

Grumpy Crocodile. The first leak from Liknuts, the amazing joint album from the Beatnuts and the Alkoholiks. 1995 era Jamaal just fell out of his chair.
The whole idea of going out to a movie was really a secularized version of going to church. And there was a certain expectation you brought to a movie which, as we’ve said, has taken all this time to be demystified. Commercials were once TV’s version of the church. Which is to say, you couldn’t offend the sponsor, therefore certain values had to be underscored in the subject matter. Now, with the move to cable, we’re in the process of exploring the anti-versions of all these forms.
…….
Now all the conventions have been hollowed out and revealed as barren. And that’s ultimately the transposition of “the story” from the church of film to an entirely different world in which the story declares itself on its own terms, with no preexisting expectations. In fact, the expectations are there to be deconstructed.
-David Milch (writer/showrunner for Deadwood, Hill Street Blues, Luck) on the transformation of television over the last twenty years. From a brilliant GQ roundtable discussion of television with Matthew Weiner (Mad Men) and Vince Gilligan (Breaking Bad).
If you haven’t seen it already, go read the whole thing. Marvel at how Milch turns the discussion into a Milch tv show.
