KEYBOARD CATTM
In 1984 I put my cat in a tiny blue shirt and made this video to entertain myself. There was no internet or customer or money. Many years later, the internet and YouTube came along, and I uploaded it in 2007. In 2009 it popped into making Keyboard Cat History. Also see KeyboardCat.com now over 50 million views. You can't do this on purpose. |

We love Miley Cyrus and Wrecking Ball, so I made this Keyboard Cat version of it. Miley dug it and was inspired by it to make her VMA Awards video! See Hollywood Life article. |

Dancing Nose In 1984 I made this Charlie Schmidt's Nose Clip with a friend to ease the boredom and to keep his wife happy because he just bought a bunch of video gear. They eventually got divorced. There was no internet, or YouTube, or customer. A friend and I entered it in a "Funny Video Contest" on local station KXLY. We won first place and got to be on the Noon Show, plus they sent the video to a "Hollywood Producer". Somehow, that landed me in over 20 countries, doing TV Shows and commercials and shows like this Late Night Legend, and international commercials like Duskin Air , in Tokyo. Many years later I found out that we were the only entry in the funny video contest at KXLY! This clip is in the permanent collection at Centre Georges Pompideau Centre in Paris. Traffic Safety PSA for the Government of Belgium, shot in Brussels. You can't do this on purpose. |

kenworths rule!
My dad drove kenworths starting in the 40's.
I was lucky enough to ride with him when I was a little kid. I was raised on Kenworths. They are the Harley Davidson of trucks for sure. Sometimes Dad would bring home a rig for the weekend and all my friends played in it all day. The cabover with a big sleeper was our favorite.
Recently I have been painting large pictures of old Kenworths. They are big...like 9x12 feet and larger on hemmed, unstretched canvases. I can do them any size to fit your space. The paintings are expressive, nostalgic, and some are even painted on old truck tarps! They would look so cool in conference rooms and service areas. They are easy to ship, beautiful and affordable.
