Hey everyone,

I have a few things to cover here. First off, thanks for your support out there across my social network. It appears of the places I frequent, DeviantArt journal entries are the least responded to so I don't tend to update this blog here too much but rather focus on my newer "KnightWorks" page on Blogspot. You can find that here [link]

Another reason I don't update this blog much is because it's such a royal pain for me to sit here and HTML code every little thing! I really can't tell you how frustrating that is when my time is so limited these days. Some kind of user friendly editor would be VERY helpful. So I do apologize for not having a fancier or more functional layout with clickable/titled links and whatnot. I'm just doing what I can manage to accomplish in the time that I have availible. It also wouldn't hurt to have some response for my efforts huh? *wink wink nudge nudge*

However, I am making an effort to try and update this thing as soon as I can get around it. So speaking of updates...let's get this show on the road!

First update...

My Knight Rider pals and I recently took a trip out to the famous El Mirage Dry Lake Bed! This is the location where the original titles from Knight Rider with the "purple sky" were filmed nearly 30 years ago! My friends of Knights of the West Coast and I spent the day out there braving the 30-40 mph winds with a few KITT replicas in order to recreate some of those iconic shots from the series opening credits and while I was out there, I managed to snap some photos of the new Knight Rider SPM KITT Minimate by Diamond Select Toys and a decent shot of me holding a copy of my book, The Knight Rider Companion.



To my knowledge, I am the first author who as written a book about the series to achieve this historic feat and I am very proud to feel as if things have come full circle and will continue to develop even more so as the 30th anniversary of Knight Rider approaches in September 2012.

You can see more of my photos from our trip here:

Diamond Select Toys/Art Asylum was also kind enough to post up a gallery of my photos that I took with their impressive SPM KITT/Michael Minimate on the Dry Lake Bed which you can find here:

I will be posting up a detailed review of their latest Knight Rider releases in the very near future so look for that to appear on my KnightWorks blog soon. Check with their site or your local comic/specialty toys to find all their amazing products!


Update #2...

I've posted up some new artwork pieces in my gallery which you can check out below. I've also been running a very mysterious viral marketing campaign for a BIG announcement that wil be made later in the year in the form of a website called

www.whatisknightfall.com

and I post up EXCLUSIVE artwork up there in line with my objectives.

Here's the first piece of "Knightfall" art I posted up on New Years Eve to kick off my campaign and another piece from El Mirage with the proper "Knight Rider" titles look through the magic of photo filters and color adjustments in Photoshop.

   

I have many more things in the works yet, so keep an eye on my social networks on Facebook and you can also follow me on my Twitter at @KRCompanion as well as my KnightWorks blog.

Update #3...
