vLog – My YouTube Journey Part 4

Here we are with another vLog updating you all on my YouTube Journey. It seems good practice to do this even if just in the interest of archiving. It’s nice to have a record of how this channel has changed and grown over time and what you as a viewer can expect.

In this video we discuss updates since the last YouTube journey video and talk a bit about how the channel has morphed into one with some set programming on certain days.

I plan to iron out the programming part a bit more so you know which day of the week is what, but in the meantime, we’re doing pretty good with the following:
- Minifigure Monday
- Funko Friday
- Story Time Podcast Sunday
- More to be announced

Caught in Black Headlights: Poetry Collection

Posted on June 1, 2024 5:00 am by A.P. Fuchs

Caught in Black Headlights: Poetry Collection

“A.P. Fuchs’ s Caught in Black Headlights highlights life things, all sorts of things, with a wondrous and unrelenting discernment and a brilliant sense of lyricism.” – John Urbancik, author of Annabel Lee, in Shadow

All right, World,
This is how it’s going to be:
Rhymes and verse
Melodies rehearsed
Across life’s rocky sea.

Listen up, Folks,
This is how we’re going to play:
Thoughts and comments,
Displays of indominance,
Making the rounds all day.

Read a poem, maybe two,
Pick three if you wish to dare.
Ramblings and coherence,
Sometimes jots of incoherence
Anything for poetic flare.

So get some eyes on some words
And give the brain a try.
You win some.
You lose most.
But in the end, Solomon said,
It’s vapor in the sky.

Enjoy and explore,
Please do, I implore.
Let’s talk about life bizarre
‘Cause it’s pretty complex stuff
Said Harvey Pekar.

Mishaps in Collecting

Posted on March 21, 2024 5:00 am by A.P. Fuchs

Mishaps in Collecting

As you can see from the picture, I had a mishap in collecting this week. The item came damaged with the bubble that contains the action figure mostly peeled away from the card.

Now, if I was the kind of collector that opens their stuff and puts in on display, it’d be no big deal. But I’m an in-package displayer/collector. I want my figures and their packaging to be as mint as possible.

The good news is the replacement figure is on its way as of this writing. I might even have it by the time this blog post airs. This figure for sure is getting a shorts video. Anyway, gotta make sure I ship the damaged one back. Mishaps in collecting happen.

Later.

vLog – My YouTube Journey Part 2

Fuchs talks about this second phase of his journey here on YouTube and what it’s really all about by citing Harvey Pekar and his work with AMERICAN SPLENDOR. Bottom line: It’s about being down-to-Earth and revealing everyday life. It’s about relating to viewers. It’s about the audience and one man’s effort to connect on some level with whomever tunes in.

Watch.

On Writing About Creativity

Posted on October 22, 2019 11:23 am by A.P. Fuchs

On Writing About Creativity

A lot of what I share on here has to do with the creative journey and stating what I’ve learned through experience. The reason is rooted in my passion for the creative industry. I’ve been making stuff up since I was a kid running around in a Superman costume (something I did even when my other friends had grown out of it). It’s all I know.

Making up stories, drawing, and thinking about how to better get my imagination onto the page takes up most of my time and is my preferred activity. Some guys work on cars or model kits to help fill the hours; I work on imaginary worlds. It’s just how I’m wired and I don’t know any other way to live my life.

Is always talking about creativity beating a dead horse? I honestly don’t know because in my world that horse keeps coming back to life. All I know is writing out my thoughts on the creative life helps me organize them, and if they can benefit or entertain someone along the way, then I’m more than happy to take them on the journey with me.

A.P. Fuchs Novelist Memoir

Posted on October 18, 2019 9:13 am by A.P. Fuchs

In June of 2020, I will have been writing for twenty years. Though I was creating before that–primarily comic book art–it was in June of 2000 that I decided to make books my living. I was originally aiming to be a comic book artist but life threw me a curve ball and through various circumstances books became the order of the day.

I’ve been giving thought to a memoir for a very long time. It would be an opportunity to share with readers my creative journey and, when appropriate, my personal journey as well. It would also be a chance to lay my creative life out in front of me where I can see it and visit time periods I haven’t been to since they originally happened. A partial journal effort, so to speak.

Regarding publication, no doubt there would be a formal release of a paperback and eBook, but I’m also thinking of airing it on-line first, whether here at Canister X or on my Patreon or both.

It’s been a wild ride to get to the present day. I started out crafting stories completely naive as to how this business worked and hit many roadblocks along the way. The plan for this project will require further thought but I think I’ve already settled upon the process so I can create it without it overloading my already-hectic schedule.

Now I just need to settle on a title.

Watch this space for more news as this develops.
