This past Wed. night was the 1st Loteria de Amor show at DC’s Palace of Wonders and it was loads of fun! Baltimore’s own twisted son Paco Fish juggled and then transformed himself from a hobo into a demon, along with some incredible fire-eating / dancing gals from DC… just some good ol’ fashion Burlesque! Thanks to everyone who came out for the show, the next one is going to be August 11th and even more in the fall, so keep checking the Palace of Wonders Calendar for future dates.
Here’s my entry into the Loteria show: el Niño Caroperro (or the Dog-Faced Boy), also an iPhone wallpaper size for you to download is right here.

This WEDNESDAY JULY 7, come on down to PALACE OF WONDERS (here’s your Google Map for those GPS-less) for the opening of the LOTERIA D’AMOR show! 54 DC/Baltimore artists have contributed work to a re-envisioning of the classic Mexican Loteria game (like Bingo, but played with images instead of letters & numbers), and best of all – its being hosted at Palace of Wonders (DC’s finest Burlesque Variety Sideshow). Look-out for my “Dog-Faced Boy” (el Niño Caroperro, here’s a mini-preview) and my good friend Stevi Everett did a super-cool “Zombie” (el Muerto Viviente)!
Here’s a little info from the Palace of Wonders calendar:
Loteria de Amor debuts Wednesday, July 7th at the Palace of Wonders, DC’s only burlesque hall/oddity museum. The Palace is located at 1210 H St., N.E.. Doors at 6:00 PM, pre-Show with Lucha Liberace 8:30 PM, Show 9:00 PM. Admission is $10.
This is surely going to be a fun event, so get yourselves down to the nation’s capital and see some Burlesque performances & play some Loteria!

Last night, Jill and I decided at the last minute to try and find a spot to see fireworks… the requirements: no crowds & no waiting in traffic for hours to get home after the show. We came up with a great location (top-secret) that met the criteria – it was close enough, yet far away from the main shows, a nice rooftop with a good view of the city, and at best we hoped to maybe see a little bit of the inner harbor’s show. At first, we thought: this kinda sucks – everything is going off so far away and it looks like the Ravens Stadium is going to be blocking our entire view.
We waited it out and after getting some great views of the inner harbor fireworks (not blocked at all, thank you M&T Stadium) – we were taken by surprise when we realized we had front-row seats to an impromptu fireworks show on the streets below us. Literally 500 feet away, we had fireworks blowing up right there in front of our faces. It was so loud and crazy and amazing all at the same time: I guess not having a plan ended up being the best plan we could ever imagine. Enjoy these photos:

I came across this great review on Accelerated Decrepitude of the BMA’s Cinematic Celebration of Poe screening (this past December ’09). For those of you lucky enough to attend (& those who couldn’t make it), writer Tom Warner gives a fantastic overview of the whole program & said some really nice things about my film too. Its great to read about all the awesome films that played in the show, so thanks Tom & keep on blogging – the Baltimore film/art scene depends on you!!!
Check out the entire review here…

Great news this morning: my most recent short Rabbit Hole was selected to be shown at this year’s San Antonio Film Festival! The festival runs from June 23-27 in downtown San Antonio’s Instituto Cultural de Mexico. I’d have to say this is probably the farthest south I’ve screened a film, which is just awesome. I hear that San Antonio is a really cool town and that the people are super nice, I’d love to get down to see it but I’m not sure if I’ll be able to make the trip on such short notice – who knows, keep your fingers crossed for me. As always, big huge thanks & congrats go out to my amazing cast & crew & family, who made this film possible!
For more on the San Antonio Film Fest, check out safilm.com, and if you’re in the Texas region later this month, stop by and check it out!

I’m getting super-syked to start creating this new project: I’m making fake Pulp Novel Covers / Grindhouse Movie Posters – basically my idea is to imagine Pulp Novels or B-Movies that I’d like to see made, then shoot a photo of the cover / poster to these fictious works of fiction, then illustrate it into a cool poster that I can hang on my wall (I’ll probably try to sell some too, hey gotta make a living right?). The first one is def. going to be Werewolf themed, basically the point of this little experiment is to see if I can actually draw a Werewolf in the computer. This is just a start – the next thing I’m going to have to work on is color. More to come soon…. gotta go to bed now. Thanks for checkin’ in.

I just came across this mini-review of my short film Rabbit Hole on Doreen Bolger’s blog on Charm City Current. I shot the film last fall for the BMA’s Cinematic Celebration of Edgar Allan Poe, which was a lot of fun. Doreen writes a really amazing & detailed recap of all the incredible films that played at the BMA, which only reminds me of how lucky I was to be a part of that amazing event, so thanks again to Doreen & the BMA, Rob Hatch of the 48 Hour Film Project, and everyone who helped me make my little movie.
Here’s a link to the article, and a blurb:
In Rabbit Hole by Nick Prevas, the male character sought his lost Lenore of The Raven fame. Here, however, the lovely but weird lady suffers from narcolepsy. Like Alice in Wonderland reborn, she appears and disappears from a closed coffin, sucked into a dark space where a huge dancing rabbit presides over mysterious events. Parts of this film were shot in a warehouse in Pigtown. Clearly, Baltimore offers no end of evocative sets!

Well the new site is coming along, sorry its taken me longer than I expected to get it looking the way I like. The format is going to stay pretty much like this, but I think I’m still wanting to make some changes to the overall design. I got hit with a cold so I’ve been out of commission for the past few days. I wanted to get some new photos up (which I just posted this morning), and now I need to work on old photos and designs, but right now throughout the site there’s plenty to see – so feel free to browse through my short films, paintings, collages, etc. As always, thanks for stopping by and have a great thursday!

Yeah, this probably looks kinda weird right now. Just imagine a brand-new sparklingly beautiful website that you’ll be able to peruse for hours and hours…. coming very soon to a world-wide-web near you.
In the meantime, please follow this link to the old Magnificent Lore.
Thanks for stopping by and hopefully you’ll be back real soon to see the all-new design for this site.
