My newest book might explode!

This is a project I have been dreaming about for ages. It's a huge book, bearly 200 pages, full color and packed with all kinds of kids' content from comics and gag pages to chapter books, games, creative activities, how-to-draw pages, and more. It's made by me and a bunch of the greatest artists and writers I know, people who work in the industry and make content you probably already love. Best of all, this is a book series that drops every other month. You can subscribe, and your kids will always have a fresh new slab of creative fun, non-screen entertainment, and bedtime stories for you to enjoy with them. So go to ExplodeyWorld.com and get copy, or better yet, subscribe!

My kickstarter is nearly funded!

Hello and thanks for showing up on my little corner of the internet. My most recent venture, since my job at Bentkey Adventures came to an end, is called THIS BOOK MIGHT EXPLODE. What is that? Well, here's a video to help explain it.

Now, I know there is a lot about this project that remains mysterious because this is not a book about one character or story, it's a crazy jumble of all kinds of content by a bunch of creators. Think of it more like a buffet of a bunch of really good chefs, that sounds good right? Here is a sampler of some of the items we will be serving at this buffet. And while this is a "for kids" project, what we mean is that the content will not veer into territory or content inappropriate for kids, including some of the topics modern kids' entertainment thinks they need to shove down our throats. These are stories about adventure, overcoming fears, learning to love your family, and about boys becoming men. So check out that art, but also check this amazing line up talented dudes who are already on board. We actually have nearly twice this amount of creators on board now. Everyone working on this is working on it FOR FREE until it makes enough money that we can start paying. You don't get kids content fueled by this level of passion very often, this is a special project I have been dreaming about for years and I couldn't be more excited to have one of my best friends on this Earth, Eric Branscum, joining me, as well as my other best friend on this big blue Earth, Matt McDavid behind the scenes.

So please, if you have caught the vision here, that we aren't just making a book but a branch of kid's entertainment with a whole new foundation, please pledge, share, and share more! We have until June 25th!

My Old Band Just Released a Remastered Special Edition of Their Final Album

I don’t talk about my rocking days very often but I’m very proud of the music I got to produce with some of the closest friends I’ve ever had. I was in a band called Lunaractive. In the band I played bass and sang a large portion of lead vocals. I also wrote a lot of the songs and much of the lyrics. We were incredibly ambitious in our song writing. We went all out on epic anthems with lots of guitar parts, vocal harmonies and screams. I loved writing songs that told stories. We have songs about samurais, robots, and cover songs like Bonnie Tyle’s Holding Out For a Hero and the theme song from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The album is on Spotify, YouTube, iTunes and more. Back when we made this album we put years of work into it only to produce a final product that was ultimately badly mixed and hard to listen to. We finally made it right and it sounds amazing. Please check it out especially if you like epic melodic punk metal. Here is the link to the album on Spotify.
