John Doe returns -- September 2006....>
Music
The music I listen to fuels my art... God Lives Underwater (one of the most underrated bands ever), Weezer, Deftones, Hot Hot Heat, Alice in Chains, Johnny Cash (nobody can say it like the Man in Black), Misfits, Portishead, Coheed & Cambria, David Bowie (Life on Mars is such a beautiful song), Darwins Waiting Room, Nonpoint, 30 Seconds to Mars, Bjork, Radiohead, Elvis (he is the King for a reason), The SmashUp, Carl Perkins, 36 Crazyfists, The Killers, Hum, Tool, Iron Maiden, NIN, the Cars, Chuck Berry, Nirvana, Foo Fighters, The Cure..... the list is erratic at times, never ending and always growing...
Movies
Ahhh... I love movies... ready? First up, my favorite genre, horror/thriller ...Night of the Living Dead (the original and most terrifing zombie movie ever), Tod Browning's Freaks, Alfred Hitchcock's entire collection especially Psycho, Rope and Rear Window, Texas Chainsaw Massacre (the original, thank you!), Se7en, anything by William Castle (Homicidal, the Tingler, House on Haunted Hill), Evil Dead, Poltergeist, M. Night Shyamalan movies, the ORIGINAL Invasion of the Body Snatchers, the Universal Studios Monster collection, Saw, and Session 9 (go see this movie!!!!)... honestly this list could go on forever, I live for a good scare. The classics and movies I could watch over and over and over... Arsenic & Old Lace, Charade, Viva Las Vegas, Sunset Boulvard, Clash of the Titans (and pretty much anything done by Ray Harryhausen), Donnie Darko, Grosse Pointe Blank, Monster Squad, Office Space, the Matrix, Ed Wood and anything by the great Tim Burton, The Goonies, Shaun of the Dead, Fight Club, The Crow (do I really need to say the original here), Mad Monster Party, Christopher Guest films, anything silent, Amelie, Back to the Future, Indiana Jones, the original Star Wars..... I think that is long enough... for now...
Television
Right now... LOST... enough said. And of course The Office and It Always Sunny in Philadelphia! On dvd... Buffy and Angel, Carnivale, Arrested Development, and the most important tv show of all time... the Twilight Zone.
Books
Reading is cool! Frank Baums OZ collection, anything by Ray Bradbury, Cash by Johnny Cash, Slaughter House 5 by Kurt Vonnegut, The Straw Men by Michael Marshall, any book by Neil Gaiman (especially Coraline), ghost stories, and Edward Goreys The Gashlycrumb Tinies... genius.
I am a workaholic, only because I love what I do. I am an illustrator based in the Philly area and I get to work on some amazing stuff everyday. With my work I have had the chance to revisit my favorite movie with the Se7en comic book series, see my artwork grace the stage of a Coheed and Cambria concert, work for Phillys very funny Preston and Steve Morning Show on WMMR, the Philadelphia Eagles, create a postcard for the band Phish... the list goes on. When I am not working, I am spending time with my beautiful wife who is an amazing photographer. She is my muse and continues to inspire me everyday.

"In the vein of Solaris, K-PAX
and The Man Who Fell to Earth,
PROXIMA is a refreshing film full of wonder."
(LONDON SCI-FI FESTIVAL)
"If you’re looking for something different
in science fiction from your traditional lasers
and alien monsters, check out
Carlos Atanes’s PROXIMA.
Remember Proxima is not just a place,
it’s a state of mind… literally."
(NIC BROWN, B MOVIE MAN)
"PROXIMA is an endearingly off-beat sci-fi film
whose odder moments owe to the visionary
can-do determination of Spanish
underground director Carlos Atanes."
(CARL J. SCHROEDER,
THE MYSTICAL MOVIE GUIDE)
Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?
A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:
Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella
Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.
Though source materials are quite aged, much remains relevant today.
