Now that I’ve come out of the ‘closet’, so to speak…
I’m an artist of the ‘old-school’ (pre-computer days) and rediscovered a collection of old UFO illustrations gathering dust in my closet.
“Wow, I should do something with these!” I thought to myself. Most of these pictures had been published years ago as cover art for the old UFO Universe magazines and various books here and there. But I’ve recently discovered my old ‘Flying Saucer’ paintings have taken on something of a life of their own—showing up at random on the History Channel and other UFO publications. I figured it was time the world found out who originally painted them—and why!
So I got the idea to publish them myself in a picture book that tells the story behind each one. That’s how CASE FILES REVEALED came to be. Then my publishing mentor tells me I need a website to help sell the book. “Fine,” I said. “Let’s do it…” I agreed.
And so we did. Then he tells me I have to “BLOG”. “Blog? What’s a Blog?” I asked. “You know, discuss UFO stuff online…” he said.
“But I just wanted to publish a book…”
“Yes, but this is how you reach a big audience these days.”
“I see, well please understand, I’m old fashioned and this computer stuff is all new to me, but okay if you insist, let’s Blog…”
I recently enjoyed a delightful interview with researcher Jim Marrs posted now on Whiltey Strieber’s “Dreamland” site. I hope those who tune in find it as much enjoyable listening, as it was for me as a guest. And there’s more… Look for my UFO art on the cover and inside the new July issue of UFO Magazine!
