My tattoo

So my tattoo is all healed and looking good! Take a look...

I gave a basic concept sketch to the artist and he ran with it and exceeded my expectations! Thanks Will!

Here is my concept sketch...


I'd say he really took it up a notch and left me with a piece anyone could be proud to wear...
It took about four hours of work and Will was easy to get along with and made the over all experience quite comfortable.

Hellraiser...

Okay it has come to my attention that Hellraiser: Revelations is a sequel and not the actual remake...  First of all, I'm never satisfied with my own writing but I know I'm at least a decent writer; but if f*****g DOUG BRADLY of all people turned down my script I'd rewrite that screen play so f*****g quick... So the director Victor Garcia instead of having writer Gary J. Tunnicliffe redo his f**k up he casts someone else to play the legendary and iconic role of Pinhead... I don't know who these two A**-Clowns are but I've immediately lost all respect for them... I don't know if Doug Bradly has other reasons for not taking the role but I can't imagine he would give it up without good reason and either way I would not have made the film regardless much less RUSHED it. Hellraiser is a classic, not to mention it popped my horror movie cherry. I really am upset to hear from the first screening they showed the film was terrible and without Doug Bradly.  The only thing people have seemed to agree on is the gore is executed well. F**k that though, Clive Barker created a unique story rich with plot and wasn't about the gore. well... At least there was a good thought out story there. Though the movies always had the gore factor they at least stayed true to "The Hellbound Heart" to some extent when they began and kept the story rich. No one ever gets to direct ANY of my work except for me... I will still probably watch it so whatever... I'm defiantly not paying to watch it though...

Here take a look at the "NEW" Pinhead:

F*****g A... This is like the era of unoriginal work and piss poor artists making quick money by ruining other peoples hard work by adding on to it with grade A crap...

Other than that I'm not excited about a remake but I can at the very least say I am curious...  I'm really not sure what's going on with it and I'm not sure if project: Angel is a part of it but I know the guy wanted to simply redo Pinheads look himself to keep some hack job from doing anything like above.

Either way Project: Angel is a million times better looking than that straight up bargain bin garbage...  Also does kind of have the look and feel of Clives current artwork.

Check out project angel:


Still not our classic Doug Bradly work of art but... After hearing about the sequel and seeing that imposter, I really can't complain...

Also Clive is apparently writing a Hellbound heart II and has just released the new comic which I hear doesn't disappoint (go figure)...

Clive Barker Revelations

Hey stranger...

Okay, it really has been a while since I left any ridiculous banters on here so I've got your fix tonight...

Not a whole lot going on lately... Except the lease ending at the end of the month causing a desire to move back to our home town along with the stress of moving and the friendly but violent fights family's have during the whole process... But not much else.

As of writing wise... Well I haven't worked on any of my projects for some time now, maybe a week. I feel dreadfully useless because of it but I vow to finish something before the end of the summer. I will tell you I have made great progress on my screenplay and my novel which I believe will be finished much earlier than I first thought.  I hope soon I will have the time to work on my bigger projects.

On another note, I have indeed begun to write poetry again! Awesome right? It's been a while and I started off rusty but we might be seeing something going on with that...

Hmm, what else... Oh I should have mentioned it but... I did in fact rent Hobo with a Shotgun when it came out on the VOD the day of and all I can say is I watched it twice in a row right then and there. It captures the ole Grind-house feel perfectly and throws gore galore at you along side a well written almost cute little love story about ye old vagabond and his always loaded boom stick. From what I saw behind the scenes there was a lot of innovative techniques used for FX and it looks brilliant all the way through. I give it five stars and a chest bump no doubt. You would be wrong to not check it out...

Also I expect to see MR. Fister in theaters in the coming years!
