Thanks so much to everyone who have given me comments, criticism, and encouragement, this first act was a baptism of fire more than anything, I had an idea of how i was going to do it, but you never really know until you're already knee deep in it. And that's a dirty little secret that no creative person likes to admit but its true. If I could tell how something was going to turn out I probably wouldn't be interested in the process. Its in the mistakes and the obstacles that the magic really happens,...
I'm excited about the next act, its gonna be a trip. I've been interested in dreams for a long time. The waking dream, the passive dream, the therapist's dream-oh you know freud loved pumpin' meaning into his subjects' dreams,...I'm just saying sometimes its a random minddump no rhyme or reason to it, yet a therapist still has to justify to his/her patient why they're charging them $60 an hour to hear you monologue.
But I digress, I've always believed dreams are a powerful tool for an individual's growth-no filters-no social pressures to worry about, just the naked pysche. It's so easy to drift from a wonderful fantasy to a cruel nightmare before you could know what hit you. Powerful symbolism and random absurdity go hand in hand in the ever changing world of dreams. And it is in this world that the second act begins. Some of my inspirations for this act come from Ralph Steadman's brilliantly grotesque illustrations for Hunter S. Thompson's Gonzo journalism.
I look forward to sharing the next act with you all, my website is being updated with concept art for the second act as we speak if you'd like to get a glimpse of some of the elements of the second act.
act 2 coming soon

THANK YOU
To all my mentors, muses, friends and family, thank you SO MUCH. Without your support this epic project would never have gotten off the ground.
Specifically Ryan, I can't say enough about how much your support and help means to me. We started this thing with a rant and a dream, and now the dream has evolved and its becoming a reality. Without your assistance and your faith I could never have made it happen. You're the best.
To Mikey G, my comrade in creative arms our sessions of brainstorming have been invaluable to me. To have a friend who is as dedicated to your craft and as hungry to learn as you are has been really inspirational. We'll hammer out our respective projects under our own steam brother, no doubt. Thanks for everything.
John (Dr. Pete), what can I say? You are the best mentor and life coach I've ever had the pleasure of conversing with and learning from. I've grown so much creatively thanks to our late night verbal volley sessions. Thank you for helping me raise the bar,...and my tolerance for Scotch.
To all my great friends, Paul Bailey, Roy Behrens, Brian Apthorp, Ben Humiston, Derrick Jellison, Damon Brown, Stephanie Fossek, Jamie Dan and Cole Cat, Danny Stone, Noushin Bayat, Lisa Dan and Liberty, April Terry Joe and Wendy, Amanda Jane and your entire four-legged posse, Susan Christiansen, Mona Barrows, Rod @ Boulevard Camera, Jennie and Michael McAnaney, and to all the friends I haven't mentioned here I thank you all for your support, seriously I couldn't have summoned the strength to do this without you.
And a Special thanks goes out to my family:
Larry Cherie Jessica Ryan Jana and little Evan for supporting me and accepting the path i've taken, thank you for having faith,....in me.
