If you are in California and are a thinking person- please, in the name of democracy and humanity, vote YES on Prop 50 by November 4th.
This isn’t some partisan game. This is our defense against a fascist takeover.
We MUST DO THIS. VOTE YES ON PROP 50.

An entity from a man's past returns to torment -or save- his soul.
The trailer for my long in progress animated horror feature film, BOXHEAD.
It's hand drawn and I've been working on it for many years.
