Welcome.

Thanks for coming.

About the site

As you noticed, the Home page is made up of a series of tiles. Hover over the tile, the title of that tile appears. Click on it, and off you go. The usual suspects are there—the About page, Contact page, there will (eventually) be a shop—but the main feature of the website is the blogs. USUALLY there are fresh postings on the 7th, 14th, 21st, or 28th of every month in any one of the seven blogs but, you know, sometimes stuff happens.

Now let’s get to it.

The 7 Blogs

Ste7en Foster surrounded by anime characters

Anime-hem!

For 16 years, I was surrounded by big boobs, cuddly creatures, nasty trolls, evil kings, handsome heroes, and various monsters. And that’s just the people I worked with. Stories of a life in anime, a blog for fans and gaijin alike. (If you don’t know what gaijin is, that means you probably are one. It’s okay. I was too at one time.)

'Nuff Said

Essays about life. And livin’ it. It’s not the definitive guide. But it’s pretty darn close. ‘Nuff said.

1/1

A few years ago, the artist part of me wanted to do things with my hands (not what you’re thinking). So I started making, for lack of a more apropos term, greeting cards. Each card is its own series and there’s only one in that series. It’s 1/1, or one of one, like the hatch mark on pieces of art. I’m not saying these are that, but I think they’re artistic.

Sirens

In Greek mythology, sirens were dangerous. I think it’s more dangerous not to listen when women are talking. This is a blog about women with something to say, women I think you’ll be made better by knowing.

Songcatcher

Think of this as my own personal Rolling Stone.

Storyville

If you like fiction, this is the place for you. Here are short stories I’ve written (though some push that whole “short” concept a little bit).

Vice Vs.

When an essay, a story, or a piece of art can’t convey what I’m trying to say, I turn to verse. I can’t call these poems because I don’t consider myself a poet. But that doesn’t mean these verses can’t have a little poetry in them.

And that’s it for the blogs.

Here’s where the other tiles take you.

STV

STV. Stee-vee. Get it? Yeah, I know. If you’re looking for moving pictures, look here.

Wavelength

When I get tech-savvy enough to load up that player, audio will go here.

Arcade

This area will be where I try things out. A script I’m working on, a video idea, whatever. If you’ve got some thoughts about it, make a comment or just email me privately, either way is fine with me. It’s a shooting gallery. I’m just seeing what hits the sweet spot.
