Dogmatic will collate & disseminate the world of cutting-edge television, cinema, DVDs, comic books, extreme music, toys, and anything and everything with a touch of outré. We’ll take a plunge into the pool of the counterculture and dance with everything the mainstream shuns. Those closest to me call me JR and I can be reached via email here.
The Dogmatic blog was born in April 2003 and re-born in September 2006.
When I’m not blogging, I am always with a camera in hand trawling the streets (and back-streets) of Melbourne, Australia. My flickr page is updated daily. Currently, I am busy with a new company I have launched called The Visceral Industry which is a web, print and multimedia design company. Hire us for your next project! Go on! I need the money and you need a new website!
FAQ:
Q: Why the name Dogmatic?
A: Absolutely no reason. I co-directed a company called Dogbite Media from 2003 & 2006 and when I was first setting up this blog back in April of 2003, ‘Dogmatic’ was literally the first word that came into my head. I liked it then, and I like it now.
Q: What are those words underneath your logo?
A: They are part of an ancient human sacrifice ritual that if read during a full-moon the portal to hell will open with great fire, brimstone and there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Nah, they are the lyrics to the song ‘Black Sabbath’ by my fave band Black Sabbath.
Q: Hey, I like your designs! Can I hire you for my next project?
Q: You seem like an interesting cat, what are some of your hobbies?
I really adore photography and just grabbing my camera and heading out for a few hours for an expedition! I prefer shooting in seedy places and trying to capture the urban niceties and the like of my city Melbourne. (Best city in Australia. Absolutely no contest!) I’d love to be able to publish a book one day about some of the stuff my camera and I have seen. Apart from photography, I love design and art and striving to better my craft with each and every project I undertake. I’m a total music buff - especially for the harder edged stuff - and I love cramming as much tunage as I can into my iPod. Love going to the movies and I have a DVD buying fetish that really needs to be curtailed! And if I have any money left over, I love buying magazines, comic books, and weird and wacky toys and action figures! Oh and I’m a huge Howard Stern fan and can be seen listening to his show everyday on my trusty iPod. Hey now!
Q: Serial Killer of choice?
Richard Ramirez (aka The Nightstalker) of course!
Q: What happened to the last three years of content from this blog?
Q: Hey that’s really cool but I wanna know more about you.
Visit my daily photo-journal. I document each and every day from the mundane to the magnificent!
Q: Let’s chat online what is your handle?
Sorry, I don’t IM. If you need to reach me email me here.
Q: I’ve linked Dogmatic to my blog, will you link me?
I truly appreciate the link so thanks, but I don’t reciprocate links. However, if yours is a blog I visit every day and enjoy - I will link you without question.
Q: What do you look for in a blog?
I generally like ‘visual’ blogs with lots of pictorial content. I hate reading online so the more you can communicate with me on a visual level, then the chances are I will be digging your blog on a daily basis.
