Published Articles: I currently write for The Editor's Guild Magazine, and have covered Dreamworks' Monsters Vs. Aliens.

Animation: My animation work has been profiled in The Guardian (UK newspaper), SFX Magazine and the WIRED blog. I have been a guest animation lecturer (subject Richard Williams) at the Santa Monica City College and ASIFA-SF as well as a private tutor.

DVD Features: Garrett shot and edited all the Making Of documentary and DVD feature material for the feature film Inalienable, interviewing actors from Star Trek and Battlestar Galactica like Richard Hatch, Walter Koenig, Marina Sirtis, Alan Ruck, Gary Graham, Tim Russ, etc ... He also did the interviews for Star Trek: Of Gods and Men which shared some of the same cast.

Some footage of Spider-man filmed by Garrett [played by John Nania] appears on the official Spider-man 3 DVD, as sold at TARGET.

He did an animated segment of a slot machine for The Raconteurs (band featuring The White Stripes' Jack White), for a piece called "From Old to Gold."

Graphic design: Garrett has worked as a licensing designer for Monty Python (Blisshouse, Inc.), and Neil Innes (of The Rutles, the Monty Python films and the Bonzo Dog Band). A strange high point was seeing his design for Monty Python toilet paper show up in Spencer's Gifts. He wasn't sure whether to be flattered or insulted that people could now wipe their behinds with his artwork.

Stand-Up Comedy: Garrett has performed standup comedy officially at The Comedy Store, The Laguna Beach Brewing Company and the Pasadena Ice House, and unofficially at The Laugh Factory. He has appeared on MTV. While still in college, he often performed onstage as Radio Man, doing short stints at USC's Groundzero Coffeehouse, where he was often thrown offstage. He attempted a one-hour, one-man stand-up show entitled "I Want to Have Sex With Your Cat," in which he appeared onstage as himself. It was performed on Martin Luther King Jr. Day 2004. It was recorded on video but unreleased.





The Sugarhigh Crusade

I wrote and drew this comic strip from 1999 to 2004, completing 63 strips for USC's newspaper, The Daily Trojan. The strip told the adventures of a knight and a samurai on a college campus, aided by an attractive young woman and a comp. sci major with a helmet on. They go on strange quests and fight the villainous forces of Leonard Maltin and Alex Winter (the other guy from Bill and Ted). You'll also get to see my political strips, called Opinions With Mr. Flopsy, that I also did for the newspaper. I won quite a few awards for these two strips, regularly picking up the $50 prize for Best Editorial Writing - Graphic Arts. Will Sugarhigh ever return? At the time, I had several dozen more strips written that I wanted to do. Maybe someday the characters will return in some other format. Maybe not.



The Tao of Cow

Garrett Gilchrist's first book, "The Tao of Cow." "The Tao of Cow" is a book of sixty unrhymed philosophical poems, told from the point of view of a cow. Ah, and now you're asking - is this a joke? What sort of philosophy could a cow possibly have to give? Quite a bit, as it happens ... the cow teaches of a life simply and contentedly lived, in harmony with nature. In ten chapters, the happy cow meets a weary man on the road of life, and attempts to free his mind until the man can see where true happiness lies. It may free your mind as well ... the book has a calming effect, good for the stressed and distracted ... and a good gift for family. The spiral-bound, 102-page, fully-illustrated paperback book is available for $9.59 ... Garrett makes no profit off of this, he just wanted to make the book available. It was originally written when he was younger and much less jaded, and it has a lot of meaning to him today. He hopes you'll enjoy it.
