I've written a novel ("Francis Oblivion and the Mad Undead") to be released as an online serial. The audio book version features this track during the end credits.

Please visit my Substack page for the novel and Bandcamp for the track. Links in the bio.

I just finished this acrylic painting. It’s the raw cover art for my new novel that will be titled "Francis Oblivion and the Mad Undead." More to come on that.

Creating Hanged Justice. It may seem hopeless, but look again. Fascism is only held in place if Justice is suspended. Free her, and the bundle of sticks falls apart. #art #neoclassicalart #tarot #justice #ladyjustice #hangedman #antifascist #gothrock #goth #gothic #corpsepaint

THE HANGED JUSTICE
This is a play on two adjacent cards in a typical tarot card deck: The Hanged Man (XII) & Justice (XI) but in a reverse position.

For the issues of the day, a minor nuisance, comparatively speaking.

So now, another set of remasters. This time, it's the Ghost of Sidney Rae and Undine to Dryad II.

Here are a few snippets of playing raw, unaccompanied, CKY guitar riffs. What can I say? The shock and terror keeps me sane.

A remastered version of "A Place in My Heart" (which is a Social Distortion cover), is now on Bandcamp (link in the bio). Fun fact, I seriously used the words "social distortion" in my dissertation. ✌️💀🍸

"Undine to Dryad III: A Marriage at Sea," is now available on Bandcamp. It is the last of a three part series for classical guitar. I hope you enjoy!

Diversity, equity, and inclusion are opportunities & strengths for society. They don't signal a lack of merit or qualifications. Remain aware that it's a collaboration of individuals, not interested in the truth, who are trying to relabel DEI as negative and misuse it as a slur against minorities.

I'm working on cover art for the new track, "Undine to Dryad III." Here's some of the progress. Also, in the background, you are hearing a sample of the track before release!

Here is a flip sequence check before I included it in the final music video. I hadn't shared this rough sequence on the other platforms. Just stills and the final, I believe.
