It’s been far too long without any activity on this thing. I’m such a negligent internet presence. I know. One day soon I’ll be much more reliable, I’ll have quaint stories for you on a regular basis.

I’ve been in a bit of a bizarre new world (for me) the last six months, working as the associate editor on a documentary that’s going to be on HBO this coming year, and the hours have been strange and varied (which certainly keeps things interesting). I’ve been drinking far too many energy drinks (aka legal speed) to keep my blood-caffeine content sufficient. Can somebody explain to me how these things can be legal over the counter when I need a scrip for Adderall? Fucking thin line.

Now that things are wrapping up on this project, I’m back on the job search. As always, I just want something that allows me to exercise and expand upon my multi-media arts based background, something that blends the technical with the creative. I’m able to do increasingly more and more with media, taming it, whipping it into shape, massaging it into the colors, sounds, and shapes that make the video image resonate with reality. Controlling and manipulating media is becoming almost an obsession of mine, perhaps because it facilitates the illusion of a control over reality and existence, but I can’t shake the magnetic draw of the gooey stuff begging me to mold it.

As for the site, plans have changed significantly. Exploder Face will remain dedicated to my own creative works (for the most part), and the ambitious online gallery that I mentioned last time will be it’s own entity, the home base for an upstart multi-media production company currently known as Spot of Shine. Spot of Shine’s site is still in progress and it will hopefully launch in the next few months. In the meantime, though, I plan to rework Exploder Face so keep an eye out for all sorts of new content coming soon.
