Over the past few
years, I have created an online suite of my music, nonfiction articles, fiction,
poetry and illustrations, and I have invited everyone to enjoy it for free. Now,
unfortunately, I am too sick to work regularly due to a chronic illness, and I no
longer have a stable income. On top of that, my wife of thirty years recently
left me to rekindle a teenage romance, a turn of events that still remains a shock.
Instead of
crawling into a black hole, I have decided to be proactive about my survival.
I have
established an account with Vimeo On Demand to sell video books containing my music,
writing, and illustrations. So far, I have created over a dozen video books
ranging from children’s stories, nonfiction articles, short stories, poetry,
and a short novel. I plan to release a new video book every week, which I will
feature on this site.
This week, I am
featuring a video book with vocal music that explains the reasons for the break
up from my point of view, called 30 Years of Marriage in 14 Songs. I have
provided a link to a trailer of the work on YouTube under the illustration at
the top of the page and another link to Vimeo On Demand at the bottom of this page. This week
only I am also featuring a children’s book called Claire’s Musical Journey on a
companion blog.
I plan to sell
each video book for $25.00, which I believe is a fair price since I have spent
countless hours over many years working on the music, text, and illustrations. Some
of you know that I have been an environmental activist for over thirty years
and an artist in one way or another since I could pick up a pencil. It is
obvious to most, I’m sure, that a person cannot be an activist, writer,
composer, painter, photographer and blogger if he doesn’t have any money.
I am not asking
for charity. The video books that I have created are of the highest quality and
I can say without boasting that they are unique. No one else to my knowledge
has created works of art containing their own original music, writing, and
illustrations. They are worth checking out—and worth the price.
Support the arts.
Support involvement in the democratic process. Check out the video books ….Link to vimeo.com
