Buffalo Bump TV Series coming soon to Paramount+

Short Brief: Buffalo Bump is an upcoming drama series on Paramount+ that follows Evelyn Harper, a pregnant woman wandering the rugged wilderness of Wyoming on the back of a majestic buffalo. Bound to the buffalo and the land mystically, Evelyn grapples with her past and uncertain future as she encounters various characters that help unravel her destiny. She develops a special connection to fur trader Mason, a nomadic Cherokee tribesman, and weathered cowboy Raúl. With each revelation about her past, Evelyn journeys closer to her purpose as the series explores themes of adventure, magic, and raw emotion against the backdrop of Wyoming’s untamed beauty. Evelyn must unlock the ancient wisdom of the buffalo and discover her fated path, all while protecting the life growing inside her. Buffalo Bump promises high drama and mysticism, showcasing the power of the natural landscape.

Press Summary: In the vast expanse of Wyoming’s untamed wilderness, where the prairies stretch out like an endless canvas, a remarkable tale unfolds. Meet Evelyn Harper, a pregnant woman with a spirit as wild as the land she roams. “Buffalo Bump” follows Evelyn’s extraordinary journey—a journey that defies convention and transcends boundaries. She rides atop a majestic buffalo, her loyal companion and protector. The rhythmic sway of the buffalo’s massive shoulders cradles her swollen belly, and together, they traverse the rugged terrain.

As Evelyn wanders the plains, she grapples with her past, her uncertain future, and the life growing within her. Her connection to the buffalo is more than mere companionship; it’s a mystical bond that whispers secrets of the land, secrets only those who truly listen can hear. But Wyoming is not just a backdrop—it’s a character in its own right. The windswept grasslands harbor ancient mysteries, and the snow-capped peaks guard forgotten legends. As Evelyn encounters enigmatic figures—Mason, a reclusive mountain fur trader, a nomadic Cherokee tribesman, and Raúl, a weathered cowboy—she unravels the threads of destiny that bind her to this rugged land.

“Buffalo Bump” weaves together elements of adventure, magic, and raw human emotion. Each episode reveals a new layer of Evelyn’s past, a revelation that propels her forward, closer to her purpose. Amidst the whispering pines and rolling hills, she grapples with love, loss, and the primal instinct to protect her unborn child. Will Evelyn find solace in the vastness of Wyoming? Can she unlock the buffalo’s ancient wisdom and discover her true path? And what role does her unborn child play in the unfolding drama of the plains?

Tune in to “Buffalo Bump”, where the heartbeat of the land echoes in every hoofbeat, and where a pregnant woman’s courage knows no bounds. The wilderness awaits, and Evelyn’s journey is just beginning.  

[ This is my imaginary pitch to TV execs if you haven't quite figured that out yet... I am pretty sure Tyler Sheridan would love to work with me on this project. ]

Clash of the Jurassic Cthulhus

"Two large Lovecraftian leviathans emerge from the depths of the ocean to battle in front of a soon-to-be-doomed coastal city. " --- I spent a little time trying out the NightCafe AI image generator over the last week. I went through 8-10 variations of my generating prompts, then pulled 4 of the best images down to my PC. Composite work included manual edits, new brush textures, and other tweaks to fit them into a single widescreen image within Affinity Photo.

Deadman's Rodeo Flight Group Alpha

Was watching a WW2 documentary and saw a nice leather bomber jacket, so I got inspired to make my own patch.  Here is my latest composition with the "Deadman's Rodeo Flight Group Alpha" badge designed within Affinity Designer using vector layers.
