TIDAL
Oh, don’t it tho?
Don’t things seem so overwhelming
sometimes
all the times
Oh, woah, woah, whoa, don’t I know
Outnumbered cucumbered ombre’d
Until there’s no color left of the one we used to have
That flag, waving so, so bravely
How you lie, how you lie
Justice, must this upend this, bend, it’s
too easily manipulated by the ones fucking with the blindfold
That money, waving so, so shamelessly
Oh, we are drowning under that sea
Of circumstance, we had the chance, best lance this boil
or it’ll be our last
dance
They’d focus on good but good has a rival
The hate and the shape and the innate spiral
of fear and loathing
of beer and of bloating
of terror encroaching
Better watch out, people,
things about to go tidal
Oh, no, no, no, I know how you play
The martyr with a charter to make me beg and barter
For just that one crust of bread priced by the upper
Time we made a new game
Time we took it outta the frame
You say you know me but how can you when you don’t know my name?
I’m just a number to you
dumb and dumber to you
numb and nummer to you
Look at my lips sayin’ fuck you too
So tell me are you land or are you tide?
One is obviously the loser with nothing to hide
Only one of us comin’ out on top, baby
Next time you want a helping hand
I’ll say maybe
She’s a little dated now, but in the late 90s, “Karyn” caused quite the stir when it aired.
When I was in advertising, I won—and I’m just bein’ honest here— a shit ton of awards. Out of all of them, this radio commercial sits at the top of my work. Like I said, it’s a radio spot, but so you have something to look at while you listen, I added text.
Just click on the radio.
If you want to know why I have that stolen-cookie-jar look on my face, you can read a short essay about it.
OutSmart Magazine was doing a story on my anime work. I suggested something other than the usual cover headshot, mainly by having the actors stand in for their characters. Except Dortin at the top. For size reasons, we used my 5-year-old daughter. And the blue wolf cub. The woman who did the voice for that was not puppy size. Left to right are David Matranga, Karen Coffer, and Ty Mayberry. This photo has obviously been retouched.
Since OutSmart put Orphen characters on the cover with me, the sharp marketing department seized the opportunity and asked me to come up with a full-page ad for the show.
Every year, Out Magazine makes a Hot 100 List and in 2006, I made the list! And wouldn’t you know it, they spelled my name wrong in the mag—and that’s before it had a 7 in it. Here’s a short story about the whole shebang.
The other images are of a polaroid of my date, Taylor Hannah, and I; and the clear and black plexiglass party invite.
Anime Insider wanted to do a feature on actors who I worked with at ADV Films. And I was always shoving actors to the fore; they’re who the fans really want to see. But I was known for folding live action into anime like The Super Milk-Chan Show, and onto anime shows such as Colorful, Gilgamesh, Pani-Poni Dash, Steel Angel Kurumi, and Le Chevalier d’Eon.
The only time Play magazine gave out a Best Producer category. Only once, never since.
