In the fall of 2003, somebody at the Nickelodeon TV network asked me
to write up a cartoon show proposal for them. So I pitched them "President
Carter and Kenny," a show about the leader of the free world and
his best friend (a green imp from another dimension). You can
read part of the proposal here.
I once wrote a novella about the famous actor Nick Nolte, entitled Nick
Nolte Fights His Way Out of a Brown Paper Bag. You can read the
first chapter here.
A few years ago, I made a short 8mm film called "Shake It Up." It
starred Greg Stump. I also made the soundtrack to the movie --
a version of The Cars' "Shake It Up" -- together with Dan Paulus. You
can listen to it here.
Be patient,
it takes awhile. (And, uh...that's me singing.)
Here's a drawing I did of famous actor Michael Douglas.
I did it
at a friend's house, and it's perhaps the best drawing of Michael Douglas
you will ever see
And perhaps best of all, here are some photos of my old roommate/webmaster
Sal with his actual tattoo of my Captain America.
No shit.
You can read an interview with me here.

This book features an interview with me as well. It's available
in bookstores.
Here's an
article I wrote about that movie The Matrix (of all things). Two
weeks after it appeared, Entertainment Weekly came out with a suspiciously
similar article. Hmmm....
This used to be on the intro page to my website.
This is nice. I don’t know what else to tell you. I haven’t
felt like this for years…seriously. "Seriously, folks",
ha-ha. I know you think I’m always joking around, I’m
always telling the jokes, I’m always about the ha-ha, but look:
this time I’m absolutely serious. This is so, so nice.
This kind of thing only happens once every…oh, I don’t know…five
hundred years? When the stars are all aligned like this? When the stars are all
smiling down and you are just standing there on the ground in the middle of the
night and you are standing there and just…soaking up their light? And you’re
kicking up gold doubloons with every step you take through the Arizona desert?
And the doubloons are spiraling up through the air in slow motion and look, look,
they’re just inserting themselves beautifully, gorgeously, right into your
front pockets.
You never thought this would ever happen again, did you? And jeez, man, just
look who you’ve got by your side! She’s an absolute angel. And don’t
even think about finding something wrong this time. You’ve got to just
let go and enjoy it, dude. Don’t you think this is pretty much the key
to the whole shebang? To just let go? To just decide to go ahead and make the
plunge? To let the stars work through you, and to scare away the Sniffing Thing?
Look, you’re made completely of white light! Look, wait…now you’re
a deep, deep blue, you’re the space between the stars now, but the Sniffing
Thing is gone. Where did it go? What was it? And why do you see such strange
patterns in the sky? A certain unexplainable knowledge has been imparted. You
can never tell anybody exactly -- exactly -- what has happened to you. Arizona
-- who’d have thought? And it’s nice… really fantastic and
really sweet and really nice….
What else can I tell you?
You are so absolutely…chosen…dude.
Seriously,
Smell Of Steve, Inc. |
This was on the intro page to my website for a while as well.
Smell of Steve, Inc. is supposedly a corporation blah blah blah.
We are dedicated to etc., etc. To achieve these ends we pledge
ourselves to [belch]. Here on this, our official "website," you
are invited to peruse our [bzzzzzzt bzzzzzzt bzzzzzzt] and our
[sound of baseball bat striking head]. [Theme from Jaws here];
[strange, otherworldly carnival music here]. "Somewhere, out
there in the distance…[screams]…and it doesn’t
even have a head!" [garbled]
Comics…"illustration"…[garbled]…novel
(?) in progress…death by practical joke: "Smell of Steve,
Inc." Meet us, shake our hand(s), look us in the eye(s), but
as you are smiling and as we are smiling, just remember that we are
each thinking different [garbled]. What we are thinking is this:
Your pleasure is our failure.
What you are thinking is [insert own thoughts here].
Anyway, thank you SO much, and [extremely garbled; screams in background; helicopter
overhead; loud explosion(s); building(s) toppling (?); gunfire interspersed with
manic laughter; "Who are those strange-looking men, Mommy?" Etc., etc.].
Sincerely,
"Smell of Steve, Inc."
