I have been working in the entertainment business for the past 20 years ranging from documentaries to graphic novels to feature films to community building. Currently I am writing for Marvel Comics while producing projects with my creative partner, Taboo, under our SkyView Way Studios banner. We have projects currently set up with Cartoon Network and Gaumont. 

I am also heavily involved in the blockchain space, using NFTs as storytelling nodes for both community and world-building. The current project I am running and creating is called Chiwawows (www.chiwawows.com) which is built on the Solana Blockchain. I have two other story-driven NFT projects in development called Realms of Avalon and Angryfoot.

My focus is to create multi-media experiences in entertainment using new and emerging technologies that engage communities into creative activity. 

Having founded the largest comic book club in LA in 2008 called COMIC BOOK SUNDAY! (CBS!), with members around the globe, my finger is on the pulse of what is trending across the board and my access to those creators is unparalleled. 

Specialties: Writing, Producing, Event Production, Community Building, Film/TV, Comic Books/Graphic Novels, VR Storytelling, Video Games, Film Editing, Product Management, Team Building, Web Content Development.

It’s a very misty morning here in the woods. The walks are cold and the winds are crisp. By the end of the month I’ll be back in LA’s sunshine to catch some of the errant rays before returning to this hibernation. 

In many ways I feel the Hermit card (one of my favorites) is most appropriate to this time of my life. I had to leave Hollywood to rediscover my love for stories. So often we feel that a constant pursuit, even when feeling fruitless, is the only course forward. Stubbornness can only get you so far.

I find this often appearing in my spreads and today in the three cards I drew from my Wirth deck I saw the first peaks of a springtime to come. The Ones and court beginnings are those ideas that start to take shape. Not just some seat-of-the-pants let’s do it just because, but real direction that has been brewing for some time. The Wand is the pointer of our intention. 

That all said, I do miss giving readings so for any that are interested I’ll be offering 10 free slots to those who most need it…or to the first ten who respond across my social media platforms.

Ping me in the DM’s if you’re interested and would like to have a mirror held to see what this New Year might bring 🙏🏼✨❤️.

For all my esoteric folks and for everyone who uses money…here’s the Substack connecting these dots through the Count Cagliostro! Cagliostro was quite the colorful figure and would have fit in quite well on Epstein Island…but he also had another side that was not as devious. 

Anyway, it’s an interesting dive into the realm of money and power and all the insanity that our fragile egos bring to the party. Yarvin is a fool. Not The Fool…just one of many. What they would like to believe is that they can control the Egregore.
