In this first episode of the “real” podcast, I discuss the progress on the recent Kickstarter campaign, Cryptid Command, as well as my upcoming Kickstarter campaign schedule, including the still-secret ghost-themed merchandise set with glow-in-the-dark items, the Halloween patch and trading card set, and the paranormal trading card series. As well as the plans for the Cryptid Command: Series 2 (Mothman, Chupacabra and The Kraken) patch set and the Grassman/Skunk Ape/Yowie patch set which will continue the Bigfoot Patrol series with even more hairy hominids.
I also go off on a tangent discussing the non-dual nature of the Santa/Krampus yin/yang relationship and how it all relates to Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker.

Writer James Renner found my work via my website and wanted me to illustrate his Star Wars themed parody of the shenanigans. The piece was done in a cartoon style (obviously) reminiscent of MAD Magazine, as I was flexing some serious Mort Drucker, Sam Viviano & Jack Davis idolisation while creating the piece.
Staff writer Renner, along with Editor Frank Lewis were extremely pleased with the final piece, which was created on a super-tight deadline (even after being given a requested week’s bump by Art Director Ron Kretsch due to many existing and pressing projects on my end).
The guy who created this officially licensed PEZ MP3 player — which is actually a real PEZ dispenser that has an MP3 player inside — is a stay at home dad, and a nice guy as well. He started the project up as a hobby, and from internet buzz he started thinking, “What if…” and today it’s a reality.
