From director Richard Marr Griffin : Wow! I just discovered this rare find at Cellar Stories book store in downtown Providence! The original paperback novelization of "Murder University" written by Leonard Xavier Roberts Schwartz way back in 1983!
Concept and character I came up with in 2007 and some friends interpreted him over the last 5 years, to see many more go HERE Nobody the Idiot older misc stuff HERE
Thanks to everyone and these will be compiled in a book soon, plus some new ones hopefully. If you'd like to contribute a Nobody, drop me a line at hartters2@aol.com
The only traits Nobody has is a the white suit, the colored visor and face that changes to suit the artist's tastes and the red rubber gun that shoots yellow foam balls! Oh and the mystery button at his navel, same color as the visor.
SFS returns with a NEW EPISODE this weekend on Cheshire TV! Boris Karloff as a mad scientist squares off against a renegade gorilla in THE APE! Airs Saturday night at 10pm EST on Cheshire TV in Keene, and streams live online at www.cheshiretv.org/stream.htm
A big thank you to my friend Ophelia Chong for the translation!

Here's the story. Another artist did an alternate universe movie poster gallery. In that gallery and elsewhere online he had directly swiped two of my poster concepts, pictures and all. They are Ghostbusters starring Cushing, Lee, Price and Strode and the Matrix starring Bruce Lee, Poitier, Sellers and Grier. I didn't see it until today but his Wolverine is a direct rip on mine as well.
I was contacted by the artist, Peter Stults, and all is cool. He apologized for directly ripping my work, nice of him to do. I just want to clarify, I want people to do their own alternate universe posters or whatever they want to do...just don't directly rip me, that's all. Its a big world, lots of unused ideas out there. I know some people might not have a problem with it, but I sorta do, so forgive me if I sound like an asshole.
EDIT Jan 20: Peter and I have been talking off and on and there's zero enmity between us, he's doing his thing, I'm doing mine. The posters in question were early attempts he never thought anyone would see. I wish him well. Besides, two totally different styles, mine is wonky 70's exploitation stuff, his is more classic 40's and 50's.
The newest song composed, performed and engineered by me is "Curse My Chromosome", so named for the Philadelphia chromosome that causes my (now in remission) chronic myeloid leukemia. I plan on recording two or three more songs over the next few months before compiling them all into an album I have tentatively titled "Velvet Monster Paintings". You can visit and "like" the main music page HERE as well as listening to the player above as you surf the interwebs or do whatever it is you do while listening to music.What I'm aiming for with these instrumentals are little 3 to 4 minute bursts of sound crammed full of the many influences I have from over 30 years as a music enthusiast as well as a musician: John Carpenter, Trent Reznor, Naked City, Goblin, Ministry, Herbie Hancock, Gorillaz, Prince, Tom Waits, Mr. Bungle, Misfits, Justice. Above all I'm aiming to have fun and create sonic nuggets that maybe not everyone will dig, but someone will, and that's as much motive as I need. If you feel moved to let me know what you think, good or bad, then lay it on me.
My friend Daniel Th1rte3n says I have "Buckaroo Banzai Syndrome" so I have to at least TRY and live up to a compliment as cool as that.
