Its that time of year again. June 27th at two p.m. corner 1205 south Vale st. at Artopia in Georgetown, we’ll bring the mayhem, you bring the glassy eyed lunatic fringe and a triple tall non-fat mocha with a splash of “Holy shit what the hell were these guys thinking?”. Or, just bring it! Metaphorically and literally. We will have corrupt Judges, bawdy sponsors, BEAutiful 200 pound trophies of which YOU ARE NOT WORTHY!

Zombies of Mass Destruction
About a year ago, I helped a small local production with special effects for a day. i went out to Port Gamble and set Pyro effects for the film. It was very quick and dirty.

It is an energentic send-up of living as an … Read entire article »

Weekly update!
http://venusarms.com/content/index.php?topic=94.msg176#msg176. It’s been pretty busy since may eleventh. We screened the three Pilot episodes of weaponizers at central cinema, to friends and family, for free of course. It was a great thing to be able to put out there. Really pretty amazing. Explosions always look best on a big screen and at high volume. The link up above is to a recent interview with venusarms, a local online art magazine, whom interviewed me last week. Thanks Niz and Dex! From now till June 27th we are guns a blazing getting ready for the Power Tool Drag racing in Georgetown, and the first freaking ever Sex-toy-drag racing on the 28th on Capital Hill at the Wild Rose. There is a lot of work to get done prior. A lot. Really. It would be a bit … Read entire article »
