We are the Phase Collective. Hi. You are looking at the premier issue of Phase Magazine, our quarterly digital publication which brings you visual and written experiences in the areas of whatever. The Phase Collective was conceived in 2005 as a freely creative outlet for its founders and contributors, and we hope to keep things fresh and ever-evolving. This publication will anchor the Phase Collective’s endeavors as we explore new ways to bring our latest Phase to the rest of the world—in print, interactive, audio, underground, and experiential media.

p h a s e 0 1 b r a i n s t o r m

Phase01 is Brainstorm. Ideas, free-flowing thoughts, visual wanderings, lists and brain-dumps. Anything at all remotely related to the idea of the brainstorm. Or not. In our premier issue, we asked our contributors to start with ‘brainstorm’ and take it anywhere from there...

What does it feel like to be onDAYTIME TELEVISION?

Ok, have you ever sat down in a really nice leather chair? You know the kind, with a matching ottoman, that is made from some exotic animals hide and costs more than your car? The kind that just suck you in and make you feel like pondering life or anything your brain can come up with to keep you in that chair because it feels so good. That is pretty much what it feels like to be on a soap except while your sitting in that chair your memorizing the 46 pages of dialogue you have to prepare in just under 18 hours. But, it is by far the sweetest job I have ever had...although not as sweet as Jack Nicholson’s gig, but even he had to start somewhere.

Have you ever heard about that book that Jeff Bridges published? I wanna do the same thing. It was an autobiography with photos. He takes those shots where he just reaches out and snaps the photo himself.

SoMark,howlonghaveyoubeenacting?

Counting auditioning...one year. Consistently? One month, two weeks. My life is seeming more cinematic in general. I’ve been really happy lately. There’s joy in doing what you love, ya know? Since about 5th grade I remember wanting to be an actor. But I’ve been gaining confidence lately and the world is feeling really accessible now. It’s nice to not have to do the modeling and restaurant gig any longer. I’m finally focusing on the career I want. Don’t get me wrong, I do respect the blue collar. I’ve been

there and done that for work to get by. But the kind of mechanical work I was doing felt easy. I’ve always been drawn to a greater challenge. It’s been a humbling path. But life indeed, is what you make of it. I mean not to get all hallmark but it really isn’t where you start but where you finish... or maybe it’s actually really about enjoying the trip?

FILM. For sure. That’s the goal. That seems like the biggest challenge.

Thisisyourwayofgettingtofilm?

Oh yeah. That’s the next step. Then I’ll be one step closer to finding my peace. Not that I’m any where close to settling down. I mean, right now I feel like a little kid.”

Soyou’reseriousaboutthisactingbusiness?Weresomepeopleweredoubtfulthatyou’dfollowthru?Yes. It does feel good to be part of that top percent of working actors. It’s been a challenging goal. You have to have to have a certain attitude

but I’m not really focusing on other peoples opinion. I just want to focus on getting it done. And I do appreciate all the great support I’ve received. I’ve gotten so much.

Haveyougottenanyfanmailyet?

Oh yeah! I got about eight letters. I sent out some headshots. I’ve been writing them back personally. There was this kid that wrote me who has aids. I guess he likes to ask celebrities for autographs. It’s trippy. It feels like unwarranted praise right now.

Didyouwritehimback?

Yeah and he’s written again already.

You know, I didn’t think the soaps would be as interesting... I mean it’s weird but good. I’ve been spending down time on set to learn as much as possible. Sometimes it’s hard to make the material feel right. It’s crazy. You have to suspend reality for a bit. It’s good to bring humor to the set.

Howmuchleewaydotheygiveyouwiththescript?

They let you get away with something here and there, but you can’t just rewrite it. I call it, ‘living in the moment’.

This is fun. I feel like I’m learning a lot about myself by talking about this.

What does it feel like to drive a1981 CADILLAC COUP DE VILLE?

Ok, have you ever sat down in a really nice leather chair?

(refer to first question) Now put wheels on it. That’s what it feels like, like driving your living room around town—it’s pure luxury bro—it drives like a good single malt scotch. And since buying that whip, metaphors like the prior have suddenly become a part of my prose and I like it. Plus, every single valet guy in town thinks I’m the tits!

Typography has always been a muse of sorts for me. After completing my first typogrpahic compositions as an undergraduate sophomore, I have been charmed by the ways in which letter forms, symbols for phonetic sounds, can be restructured, redesigned, and reinterpreted. Most of my design begins with typography, and that may include something as simple as selecting and ‘specing’ a typeface or creating exploratory typographic collages. Currently I am finishing up my M.F.A. thesis at the University of Iowa, in Iowa City, where I am looking into the ways in which absurd time constraints lead to discovery, through chance and serendipity (using typogrpahy of course).
