As a part-time gigging musician, I can't always afford the top-of-the-line gear. But I still want my stuff to sound good! Here are the electric guitar brands that I have found to deliver way above their price points for those of us performing live “in the trenches.”

If there’s one thing you need to know about me, it’s that I LOVE gift giving. And not just the boring run of the mill gifts that everyone gives, but high quality unique gifts that show the person you are gifting just how much you mean to them.

Since the beginning of my career, I have been drawn to the role of Script Supervisor, or better known as the person who keeps track of Continuity on a film set. It is the only one person department (though that's changing as the number of cameras keep climbing) and it is a an awesome craft to learn, though it takes a certain type of person. Script Supervisors must be meticulous, focused, good communicators, and probably need to love a good spreadsheet. I had the pleasure of taking a 6 month long workshop about Script Supervising where I learned so much, and left the workshop feeling fully prepared to Script. While I haven't done more than a couple of small gigs, I feel I have invaluable advice and resources to share with those who are interested in the craft. The Film Industry needs more Script Supervisors, and a good Script Supervisor thinks like an Editor, therefore must understand filmmaking in totality. These are the tools I've used and continue to use as I am forever learning.

Here I've collected some of my favorite hobby supplies-different types of art! I can't sit down and focus on something handheld all of the time, which is how I became a pastry chef. Hardly any sitting down in the kitchen! But I love working with my hands to make art, rather than graphic design.
