I’m making some t-shirts to use as perks in my IndieGoGo fundraising campaign for the second episode of Steve’s Quest (which, for those of you who don’t know, is my upcoming online animated musical). These shirts feature the image above, created by our concept artist par excellence Michelle, and the stevesquest.com URL on the back.
However, I’m [...]
The Steve’s Quest crew hard at work
We’re now in the home stretch, as far as putting out the first episode of the animated musical soon-to-be smash sensation, Steve’s Quest, is concerned.
I thought I’d share a bit about what we’ve been doing over the last several months to bring Steve and friends to life on the [...]
I’m excited to share one of the songs that will be appearing in the first episode of my upcoming animated musical, Steve’s Quest.
This song, “Maximized,” is sung mainly by programmers at NextComm, the software company where Steve, our hero, reluctantly works. The programmers, ably played by Gina Breedlove and Tim Edgar, extol the virtues of [...]
So there’s a scene in Steve’s Quest where Steve, our young software engineer hero, has worked up the nerve to invite his lovely colleague Sabrina to a party at his apartment, and Sabrina, to Steve’s surprise, has shown up.
Steve, noticing this, is at a loss about what to do next. His friend Ash, who considers [...]
Although I’ve been doing a lot of leadership lately, whether in the context of working on my musical, managing parts of my men’s organization, or something else, leading isn’t easy for someone with my personality.
My first instinct is usually to make sure people around me are satisfied, and when I’m dealing with a large enough [...]
Photo of my place while writing this show (okay, actually some Steve’s Quest background art)
Watching a few seconds of my show (which you’ll be able to do very soon!) will probably make it clear that I didn’t write the piece with any particular “market” or “demographic” in mind.
After all, the main character is a software [...]
As I noted earlier, the Steve’s Quest team is like a volcano thunderously erupting with raw, molten talent. Okay, that may not have been a very good analogy, but the point is that they’re talented. I’ll share the details on some more members of our team and the molten-hot art they’ve been doing.

One of the characters in Steve’s Quest, Steve’s roommate Andrew, is an aficionado of the fictitious online role-playing game WoodCraft 2.
Okay, that’s a serious understatement — Andrew not only spends most of his time playing WoodCraft 2, but he also operates the go-to website for all WoodCraft 2 lore, WoodCraftUniverse.com (don’t look for it — [...]
I’ll share a bit more with you about the story of Steve’s Quest. Like I’ve said, the show is an animated musical comedy about a young software engineer and his journey of personal growth, but I’ll go into a tad more detail while trying to avoid serious spoilers. I’ll also include some concept art, like [...]
I want to give a few shout-outs to the top-notch team helping me bring Steve’s Quest to life.
Art Director Whitney McEown Sanford just radiates motivation and enthusiasm. Before she started working on the project, I looked at some of her impressive animation work, sent her a short synopsis of the show, and got all set [...]
