What I’m doing with AI wouldn’t surprise anyone who knows me. I’ve always created my art on a computer. That’s been true since the beginning — graphic design, website design, internet architecture, building strange little digital worlds before most people even knew what a browser was. I’ve always learned new tools by breaking them, pushing…

Truth on Trial: A Public Framework for a Citizen‑Led Class Action Response
PROPOSAL February 2026 1. Purpose of This Proposal This document presents a public proposal, not a movement, organization, or lawsuit. It outlines a conceptual framework for how a citizen‑led class action could function as a symbolic civic response to alleged false statements under oath by government officials. The proposal is offered for independent evaluation by…
The Shine
Bands and businesses alike, I kept my lane to branding, marketing, and PR. The art or the business — I stay clear. I only polish what I’m given. How they reflect the shine, that’s on the client. When I stepped into the performing‑arts preschool and its sister music academy, nothing was broken. It was just…
🔊Raised by the 70s
I was born into a family already halfway through its story. My older siblings were children of the 1950s — raised in a world of stricter rules, tighter expectations, and parents who were still young enough to worry about everything. By the time I arrived in 1963, my parents had already lived through the noise…
Wendy O. Williams — The Walk
I was eighteen, I bought a ride on a church‑fundraiser bus from Guilford to the No Nukes rally in Central Park. Long‑haired country kid by himself, denim overalls, no plan beyond showing up. I stepped off the bus into a sea of people and somehow fell into stride beside Wendy O. Williams. Not performing. Not…
🔊Fuel, Fame & Friction Modifiers
“Some folks talk… Some folks get things done.” — Bobby Likis I didn’t go looking for the automotive world. It found me the same way most things do — through a side door, half by accident, half by instinct. Sun Coast Chemicals, makers of X‑1R Performance Lubricants had placed an ad in the local Penny…
ROOMMATES
It started in the stockroom at Macy’s. Me in men’s shoes, him in ladies. Two departments sharing the same space where the magic happened — Brannock devices, shoehorns, notions, bunion stretchers, inserts. Tools of the trade. If the shoe they wanted didn’t fit, we always had a trick up our sleeves. I was the big…
Holding Your Own
Every world I worked in required a different mask. Retail had one language. Construction had another. And neither one cared about the rules of the other. On the roof, subtlety was useless. Sly barbs, clever retorts, the kind of dry wit that worked fine in a store didn’t land the same on a construction site….
A Brother’s Advice
I was sixteen when my brother got me the job at the local drug store. I asked him what the job was, expecting something about stocking shelves or ringing a cash register. He gave me a line instead — one sentence that would outlive every job I ever had: “Don’t worry. Your job is to…
🔊Bud’s War (The Battle of Leyte Gulf)
The main fleet had already pulled back. The Houston — crippled, listing, half powered — was deliberately left exposed to draw Japanese aircraft away from the carriers. This wasn’t a rescue tow. This was a ship still in the fight, still under threat, still being used as bait. And Bud was still on her. He…
