Stories from the Graveyard workshop at 826 Valencia
Workshop designed and conducted at 826 Valencia. Taught by myself & Angie Needels, assisted by Keri Smith & Christina Jones. The course consisted of three days, for 2 hours per day, and the classroom was about a dozen kids, ages 11-14.
Synopsis:
What is the line between the unreal and the real? Where do stories come from? How do you turn an idea into a tale? How do some of the best stories start? This workshop will answer these questions through a variety of brainstorming and story seeding exercises that will show you how to stretch your imagination and harness it into a reality of words and images.
Using the lives of characters buried in a fictional graveyard as a framework, small student groups will create their own one-page story while we build a similar piece together as a class. These stories will be submitted for inclusion in 826's Quarterly and published in OLOGY magazine.

The Writing is on the Wall
Gallery show at Swarm in Oakland, CA featuring the artwork, narrative, and a full soundtrack to the first God's Acre book.
Press Release:
On the night of June 20, 2007 Omnibucket releases the macabre, multimedia fairytale, "God's Acre, Book One, The Ravens & The Rhyme" upon the SWARM walls, offering a unique walk through the 96-page story. The full text of each page will be presented alongside the artworks so that you may read the entire narrative, or simply soak in the visual imagery. A two hour instrumental soundtrack, composed specifically to complement and enhance the visual experience, accompanies the installation. True to the collaborative mission of SWARM, the artworks feature the combined talents of a sculptor/photographer, digital artist, writer, and a music composer, all of whom will be present for book signing.

01:21 PM | 0 Comments | Tags: ravens and the rhyme, god's acre, event, performed, render, omnibucketThanks to FlavorPill for featuring The Writing Is On the Wall in their 268th issue. Here’s what they had to say:
We all remember the days when we’d pull the big illustrated book of fairy tales off the shelf and have Mom or Dad read us to sleep, filling our heads with material for strange dreams. Omnibucket, the independent publisher responsible for the exquisite zombie-outbreak graphic novel Brainchild, presents an installation that merges the pages with those dreams once again — with an extra dose of Grimm. The pages of God’s Acre, Book One: The Ravens & The Rhyme by Scott Lambridis are accompanied by the illustrative artworks of Angie Needels and Dave Senecal while Chris Siefert’s music fills the air. But before you drift off, have all four artists sign your shelf-ready version of the book. - LH
Berkeley Public Library installation
Angie & I installed an 8’ × 4’ x 1’ God’s Acre exhibit in the public display case at the Berkeley Public Library. The installation features 15 prints, a few scenes with the sculptures, and some custom-made posters on stands.
Pardon the terrible lighting.

Short play written for Madlab Theatre's Grand Guignol in 2004. It received press merits and appeared for two consecutive years. Wigglepussy, Indiana and I wrote the music and lyrics and performed about half of the shows live, acting as a pit orchestra. Twas a blast to perform, as well as a fun and productive collaboration.
