I’m pleased to announce that five songs from the Steve’s Quest soundtrack have been fully recorded and mixed, and are now available for listening and download here.
I decided to put these out there for your (hopefully) listening pleasure, because the visual side of our production is taking a bit longer than I originally expected, and [...]

We’re putting the finishing touches on the animation for the first episode of Steve’s Quest, and we expect to release the episode later this month! To whet your appetite, I’ll share a few — oh, wait, what should I call these pictures from the episode? Screenshots — or is that term only appropriate for video [...]

While the visual side of Steve’s Quest has been trudging along slowly but surely, I’ve been working on song ideas for other possible shows, since my goal is to write and produce a whole bunch of musicals. My biggest ambition is to be able to say I have a musical oeuvre.
I have several [...]

I’m excited to share a new song that appears in the second episode of Steve’s Quest, my upcoming online animated musical, called “Give Her The Tour.”
This song is a duet between Steve, our software engineer hero, and Ash, Steve’s friend and self-appointed romantic adviser. Ash is giving Steve advice about how to romance Sabrina, Steve’s [...]

It seems like more talented people are joining the Steve’s Quest team every week. Last weekend, I and some new cast members rehearsed the dialogue and songs for Episode 2 of the show.
This episode has an “ensemble cast,” at least in the sense that the cast contains more than three people. In this episode, we [...]

As I mentioned a few weeks ago, I’ve been strangely bewitched by the idea of doing a musical about a man who falls through a sewer or subway grate into a magical realm.
In my copious spare time, I’ve been messing around with song ideas for the show. I recorded a (rough) demo and (rougher) music [...]

I’m at a loss to explain how this idea came about (isn’t that the way with ideas), but I’ve decided that one of my future projects is going to be a musical called The Grate.
Obviously, the poster shown here is a joke, and has nothing to do with the show. However, I am going to [...]

Another shot of the futuristic metropolis “Metro City” from Steve’s Quest
So the song I shared earlier from the upcoming animated online musical sensation, “Maximized,” is sung by Steve’s colleagues at NextComm, the software company where Steve works. One of the last concept art pieces we’re trying to complete is an “establishing shot” of NextComm’s main [...]

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 [...]

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.
