Hookers and Autobots (Audio Commentaries)

Hookers and Autobots is the generic name I have assigned to the DVD-style audio commentaries I have been recording for popular films. I chose random movies that I had no physical connection with and recorded an improvisational commentary track to go with them. Originally this project started by recording these commentaries myself and then realized I that adding another person to the mix would help the overall flow. The commentaries turned into a dialogue that branched off into random subjects that had some vague origin with the original film but no logical parallel. [June 2009 - Ongoing]

Tom Cruise Comic Panels

The Tom Cruise Comic Panels are a tongue-in-cheek focus on one of the most exposed Hollywood personalities. Most of us have some sort of familiarity with this person and we project our own ideas and perceptions onto him. We passively or actively relate to his persona and his familiarity grows. The statements themselves don’t necessarily have any validity. They are just an exaggeration of who we think this person is.

Each print is eighteen inches by twenty-four inches. [May 2010]

American vs. Anti-American

The American and Anti-American prints contain the FBI Anti-Piracy Logo and the Fair Use logo. Neither have been recognized as either American or Anti-American, leaving the judgment of which one is which up to the viewer.
