I changed my mind.
In a given year, I might hope to have maybe one magical moment during which I can step outside myself long enough to see myself – see what’s REALLY real. I might catch a glimpse of what’s behind what’s going on with me – and hopefully, in that instant, even re-see the whole world with...
Looks and feelings.
I’ve been working on a couple design projects these past few months. Sometimes I complain (in my head) when I’m designing something. The truth is – if I’m the one doing it, it’s probably not getting the attention it needs at any given moment. But then in those other moments, when I’m lost in the...
You’re too weird.
Watching this season’s Niece episode of Louie on Sunday made me think something I don’t think about much as an adult. That strange little girl was me at 13. I was more happy-go-lucky and social, but I was weird. I went weird at 11. I left for Summer camp that year a normal kid and...

Two totally different worlds, with absolutely different tones and formats and stories to tell. This is true: the one in the distant future takes place in Brooklyn and the one in...

Since I can’t share the shorts themselves, I thought I’d at least put up stills of the credits and thank (by name) the people that contributed… especially since none of them have even seen these things to know that...
Squid Dragon Legend
In 2006, I decided to finally produce a short pilot for an idea I’d had for an anime parody. Homage. Ode. There’s a vast lode of comedy to mine from the anime and action/fantasy genres – I think I barely scratched the surface. In my defense, I made this thing in a ridiculously short period...
America (The Animated Series)
Very little has been said (by me) about these shorts I made for Fox Broadcasting and 20th Television’s “Inkubator” program. It was a learning experience to be sure. What did I learn? Dude. Writing comedy is hard. Don’t start a new job, have a new baby and try to write comedy at the same time....
