Hell, God, and dead children
A little while ago I found out about a new movie coming out this fall called Hellbound by director Kevin Miller (I was tempted to include a pun about this movie about to raise hell… but I didn’t).

Martin Sexton – The New 60′s

The Dust of Famous People
We were recently contacted by a Swiss-Canadian visual artist who runs a foundation for art and culture in Switzerland called Soul Works Foundation who said “your vision is my vision”. Not sure how Bryan Haab found us, but it’s always encouraging to hear about people who have their foot on the same gas pedal. This is a [...]
