Movie Review: Kung Fu Panda 2 (2011)

Kung Fu Panda 2 wasn’t as funny as the first movie. Sequels often don’t live up to the movie they’re continuing and I have to say I think Kung Fu Panda 2 falls into that category…

"Being Art" video

Art Prints“Being Art” oil on canvas, 57” x 57” which I painted in 2008. This piece explores the juxtaposition of the bipolar mind and the urge for artistic expression. It portrays the attempt to make one’s crazy life itself into a work of art, rather than letting it destroy you.
Music is “Two In Love” by Scott Huckabay, used with permission.

This is from April 2007; the painting is called Afternoon Reverie. The subject of the piece is, as so often is the case, my son Dominic. The photo the painting is based on won an honorable mention at the...

Still Life #2 Time Lapse Movie (2006)

I have several of these time-lapse videos of progress on some of my paintings. This is probably the least interesting of them, so I will start here just so that future ones seem better by comparison…
This is probably one of the first 10 oil paintings I ever did.
(Sorry for all the white space around the movie. I did this with some old program and now that I have a nice shiny new copy...

It's A Fine Day (A Juggling Video)

I created this video in 2006 to teach myself how to use video editing software—it is not by any means an impressive display of juggling. All the actual juggling is just the most basic of things—the hardest things in this video I think are a short run of Mills Mess and another short clip of Dan passing 7 clubs with me. So don’t expect to be blown away by my mindblowing juggling talent, as...

A Juggling Romance--How Dan and Katherine Met (smaller video)

This is the video that played (partially*) before the ceremony at our wedding (though I did add some stuff later, since I had some time).

Dan and I met in 2004 at a juggling festival in Buffalo, NY. This is a retelling of that story, with some…err…artistic liberties taken. And fancy special effects. Very fancy.

Special thanks to Jack and Jeri Kalvan, Michael Karas, and the Flying Karamazov Brothers: Mark Ettinger, Rod Kimball,...

Calling all Tellers of Tall Tales!

NOTE: THIS EVENT HAS PASSED. THIS ARTICLE IS HERE FOR ARCHIVAL PURPOSES ONLY.

I’m putting together a video that will be played at our wedding (May 24, 2009), and one of the things I want to have is a bunch of people telling stories of how they “allegedly” heard we met. We want these to be as wacky as possible, and I know that...

Juggling

Expert Ball HandlerI learned to juggle when I was 11 from a book called Juggling for the Complete Klutz. I have seen other books that teach juggling, such as The Complete Juggler and Carlos on Juggling, but in my opinion, Klutz is the best. The most important thing they emphasize (which most others fail to do) is the scoop motion in the toss, which allows the ball...
