New Update!

This busy year continues!

While Gun Control For Polar Bears continues to not be bought, I've been hard at work on everything else.  Experimental poetry isn't for everyone.

I've been tweaking some screenplays and sending them to a screenwriter friend of mine to see what we can do with them.

I've finished the edit on the horror anthology I've co-written with my wife.  It's called The Last Request of Grover Cleofus Black and we're looking to self-publish it by the end of the year if not the beginning of next year.  It's CRAZY and I hope you guys check it out.

With the Dr. Ernesto series finished for now, I hope you all are checking out my art series Coma's End.  The pieces in the series are posted on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter (you can find me at @CMC5384).

Amidst all of this going on, Dennis and myself are still hard at work on Tourniquet which you should be seeing soon.  We have several different things going on with it.

My publisher and I have been looking over the cover art for my first sci-fi novel Last Rites of the Capacitance and it's looking fantastic!  Still unsure of the release date of the book but it should be soon.  Probably by the end of the year I'll be starting on my second sci-fi novel, not a continuation of the first but its own thing.

I have shot another short film entitled Technical Difficulties which will be edited soon.

You can find stories such as Coma's End and Mr. Monroe's Nurse on www.52weeksofhorror.com.  It's the only place to find Mr. Monroe's Nurse, one of my favorite stories I've written and I feel it's one of my best so you should check it out.

All this week I've been working on a secret project for my friends at 52 Weeks of Horror and I'm hoping by this time next week they'll have it and you all will be able to see it.

Life continues to stay busy.  I hope you all are doing well and staying creative!

Dr. Ernesto

As you might've seen on my Facebook, Twitter, and/or Instagram accounts I'd been posting photos of a crazy old man doing silly things.  Welllllll let me take the time to explain.  My dad and I were always fans of schlocky late night horror hosts.  Me being an art nerd, I was always coming up with different projects.  Years ago, probably 5-6 years back, I thought of one he and I could do together.  His name is Ernest Lee Carter, though her goes by Ernie, and a common nickname I'd heard him called growing up was Ernesto.  Thinking about people like Dr. Demento I called it Dr. Ernesto.  We had him dress up in overalls, a dress jacket, and a hat, along with any extras.  Dad's like Jonathan Winters in which you could give him anything for a prop and he could do something with it.  We had him dressed up as our character, gave him props, and just let him go to town while I took the photos.  It was summer and incredibly hot so we were both sweating a TON; so much so that I had to clean off my camera in between shots.  In the lengthy time in between the shots being taken and being seen I was in a marriage that fell apart as well as other projects that fell apart in the process.  Though I'd lost some of what we shot I managed to keep an envelope full of photos.  In a new, healthier marriage and embarking on new projects, I finally scanned and posted the pictures.  Throughout that time my dad was constantly asking me what happened to them so he was happy when they finally surfaced.

Sometime soon we'll be doing some different kind of stuff with Dr. Ernesto.  We both look forward to revisiting and having some fun with the character.
