The Girl in the Moon

October 15, 2011

It is a closely guarded secret that well-to-do families from the Moon occasionally send their children to Earth, to grow up in the sunshine, fresh air and heavier gravity of our planet. Crosby Campbell grew up living across the street from one of them. The Girl in the Moon will be available soon on WWW.SCROLLON.COM.

Dino DeLaurentiis…

November 12, 2010

(reposted from sevenextraordinarythings.com) … died Wednesday night, November 10th, 2010 at the age of 91. I made a movie with him a few years back.  He was 87 at that time, producing three pictures at once and none of us could keep up with him.  He was alternately tough and charming. He forced me to

Gelato

August 30, 2010

A photo of the most important attraction to be found in Florence.  I feel it’s my duty to sample ice cream in every shop that sells it.  This may take a while, there are a lot of them here! And for you traditionalists, a few pictures of old buildings… And the Arno river, from our

Hawk in the Courtyard

July 2, 2010

This one was taken (by Lynn) in our front courtyard; a part of our house featured briefly in Nocturnal Battle.  It’s amazing how much wildlife (natural and supernatural) you can find just outside your door. (reposted from sevenextraordinarythings.com)

Hawk in the Yard

June 29, 2010

Having a cast on her arm didn’t stop Lynn from snapping this picture of a Cooper’s Hawk in our back yard. Call me weird (my mom always did) but I find it comforting to know there are birds of prey in the neighborhood. (reposted from sevenextraordinarythings.com)

Lynn’s Cast

June 24, 2010

My wife fell, fractured her wrist and has had it in a cast for three weeks. I told Ziggy to take some time off from hunting the living dead to keep an eye on her. One more week to go before the cast comes off and Lynn can resume her hobby of fighting crime on

Frank Frazetta 1928 – 2010

May 18, 2010

(reposted from sevenextraordinarythings.com) Like many artists of my generation I can divide my early development into two categories; before I saw my first Frank Frazetta painting, and after.  I remember the day. I was crossing the floor of the Santa Barbara Public Library near a rack of paperback novels they recently made available for check
