My Bio
My name's Brandon, I've been lurking around on this site for awhile now. I don't have a ton of visual arts training as I instead opted to pursue performing arts. I attended the Gaiety School of Acting in Ireland, after four years of Under Graduate degree work at Northern Michigan University where I majored in Theatre and minored in English and Anthropology.

I'm left handed, and have always been able to kind of draw and paint and sculpt and so, now that I'm living in L.A. and kind of stalling on my acting career I want to use this space to hash out some ideas. I'd also like to get more exposure to different mediums as at some point I'd like to channel things toward film-making and animation.

I anticipate indulging in a fair amount of fandomonium for properties that I'm really obsessed with. Kinda hoping that venting stuff and turning out my pockets so to speak will allow the bits and pieces shake out and the process will be a little cathardic and generate some momentum in ways I don't fully anticiapte yet.

The Herculoids first aired on September 9th 1967. The short story Weyr Search which launched the Dragonriders of Pern series was published in Analog magazine in July of 1968. In an interview I definitively recall reading once upon a time; but have never since been able to find again, I remember Anne saying that she had gotten the idea for Pern and its dragons while she was folding laundry and her boys were watching cartoons. Now, given this and the timing, it seems plausible to me, that Zok is the jumping off point for the notion and conceptual design for Pern's dragons and the earliest cover-artwork seems to support this. So too does the general color scheme of the show match the description of the atmosphere of Pern, and of course there are other things. Such as, Pern and Quasar are both worlds whose inhabitants eschew advanced technology. Both are fairly ecologically sparse environments. Both are worlds that are defended by their human inhabitants who utilize indigenous fauna
