Now We Know Appearance

Looks like the good folks behind King of the Hill remembered me! Producers John Altshuler and Dave Krinsky are doing a new live action show for National Geographic Channel and they called me in. I played an ancient Chinese Man, and it was unfortunately easy to make me one. I also bore an uncanny resemblance to […]

Adventures in Publishing: Blurbs and Lockdowns

This is especially true in publishing. Hi all! It’s been a red-letter day today.

Embracing the Sheep

There is no good reason why I should love Lunar New Years. It’s not a holiday I grew up celebrating. It always falls on a different date, taking me by surprise, sometimes still fatigued from the December holidays. It’s also a gargantuan effort, at least the way I do it: combining the decorating of Halloween, […]

Adventures in Publishing: Accordions and Folk Tunes

Wherein we learn that, despite all the awesome coddling that comes with being at a super publishing house, they will not do EVERYTHING for you.  Lookie what I got! If I’d a known accordions weighed a ton,I woulda written them heavier. No, I’m not taking up a new hobby. I’ve rented it for a shoot […]
