I think my favorite thing is that Samba took all the other photos, but in the one taken of him there’s a finger on the lens

The continued evolution of THRILLCHASER finds us back in the studio recording new music…
Incredibly grateful to be back in the studio working on new THRILLCHASER music, as well as contributing to the marketing strategy of the best audio software company in the business, MixWave.
Thrillchaser Is A Power-Pop Outfit Bursting With Talent You Need To Hear And Here’s Why
As much as you think it might be an easy task, it’s not always that simple to showcase new, up-and-coming artists. We mean, usually when it comes to these things if you aren’t familiar with the artist’s name, what’s going to make you click on our story versus The Top 10 Fat Loss Hacks Your Favorite Artists Use Everyday? Yeah, not always that simple.
However, putting all doubts aside, we’re going to do our best to start highlighting emerging bands we believe in. Bands that stand out against the tiring monotony of our music scene. You know, bands like Northeast power-pop trio Thrillchaser.
Putting together a synth-laced sound that rivals both PVRIS and Dreamers, Thrillchaser (formerly known as American Wolves) takes that alt-rock radio sound and bends it in a way that feels, well, natural. You know, not like those songs written by 40-somethings hoping to attract “hip” teens or a T-Mobile commercial. Thrillchaser instead writes from the heart and it shows on their stunning debut single “Emptiness.”

Godzilla vs. Kong - Blu-Ray Extra
I'm not big on the movie itself, but Godzilla King of the Monsters was a better home video release. It had a lot of extras, and I made a lot of gifsets from all those extras.
Unfortunately, there isn't much to do gif-wise with this release. There's older cast footage being used from prior Monsterverse release Blu-ray extras, which feels like padding, to be frank.
I don't foresee myself making another gifset from this release. At least this Mechagodzilla gifset is decent enough.
I’ve never seen this BTS pic before so I’m sharing it. I love it🙂↕️👍
Still so odd to see Beetlejuice and Lydia lying in bed together like this but OHHH HOW THANKFUL I AM

Final Week!
The Kickstarter is winding down, and I’m full of gratitude for those who’ve backed my vision for this independent dark science fiction project. Of currently-active Fiction Publishing projects on Kickstarter, “Color of a Mirror” is the 9th most-funded. In the world. That’s absolutely incredible to me!
Why, then, is the project not yet funded?
Well, largely because I’m not content with producing a hardcover or softcover book as cheaply as possible. I want this book to be a work of art in and of itself, to feel like it came from a big-name publisher, despite me being just one person. I want to work with a printer that strives for that same type of quality in the options they offer, that gives me the ability to customize this book in a way that makes it sing.
Beyond that, however, I’m also trying to do a limited pressing of a vinyl for the soundtrack. All my metrics for how big a run to do of these various items to make them cost-effective, cross-referenced with a feasible amount of money to raise, has landed me on the $15,000 mark.
(I’m encouraged that there’s currently a novella project from an established, published author that had a goal of $10,000, making me feel like my higher goal was not so far off.)
This may be a bit of a ramble, but I hope it’s an honest look at how I’m thinking about this project, and what I’m trying to achieve.
There’s still time to back! No matter the tier you choose, every little bit helps. It’s going to take a mega-surge this final week to get to fully-funded, but I whole-heartedly believe we can get there.
Ends the day after Cyber Monday, in celebration of the cyberpunk story that it is.
Now, let’s go get higher on that most-funded list!
