Titus Gee

Titus is a founding member and Editor-in-chief of RedFence. In past lives, he was a blacksmith, a security guard, and a newspaper reporter who explored tattoo culture, national border disputes, child abuse scandals and much more – that is, when he was not test driving cars or flying in various aircraft. He has lived in Israel, Germany, Poland and Italy and wandered other countries, always with a ready pen. His voices vary as widely as his subjects, though lyrical rhythms infuse each one.

Titus has written 86 article(s) for RedFence Magazine.

His paintings capture this truth, both literally and symbolically, as he digitally manipulates photographs of fire into surreal and sometimes gruesome images. Stewart’s work began as a whim, but steadily grew into an obsession […]

Maybe its envy. Or some kind of weird inferiority complex, like playground bullies pushing down smaller kids. Maybe they’re compensating. Whatever it is, the ugly little cowards can make riding an exercise in temperance.

And yet the latent tragedy of the final cover of the final book provides such power to the story. Its finality gives the story weight and so creates a part of the magic that can be captured no other way.

We’re on a Bridge, Charlie! by Titus Gee Charlie the Unicorn is not funny. That is to say, no particular part of it is funny. Silly, maybe. And yet as I joined the more than 12 million viewers who have traveled with the surly Brooklyn unicorn and his annoyingly cheerful uni-friends on their Flash-animated adventure, […]

Conversation died as we approached it, stepping into the aura that seems to linger around the base.

Getting Wet by Titus Gee Most of my travel companions think I’m kind of a lunatic, I think. Usually they don’t say anything. They just give me this look, whenever we stop to rest. They stare out at the snowstorm, the beating sun or the dark of night; then they look at my grinning mug, […]
