“Johnny Sunshine” 16 x 20 in. oil on panel. This is painted from an old black and white photo from the 1800s that I came across on the internet. Some people think he might have been a riverboat gambler on the Mississippi River. I just liked the photo, which was not in very good condition.

During the pandemic of 2020 and 2021, before there was a vaccine, I wrote a book of short stories. This is one of those stories, read by myself. I hope you enjoy it. :)

King of Harperville (1992)

This is a short film I made in 1992 when I lived in Kansas. The actors are my friends, and the whole thing was filmed on a VHS camcorder. 1992 was long before digital video was invented, and editing was a real challenge. This version is the only one I seem to have, and it was all run through a video processor which makes it look posterized, but I don’t think it detracts from the story. We all had fun making this together and I’m very pretty proud if it. I hope you enjoy watching it! :)
