oseph Matthew Alberts (also known under the nom de plums "Spindack", "J.M. Matthews", "James Michael Matthews", "James Matthew Sorrell") son of English teacher Marianne B Gabel and and automotive manufacturer and Trappist Monk Glenis "Ralph" Sorrell of Ann Arbor,Michigan, is a North American multiracial author, cartoonist, diarist, engineer, inventor, fantasy and science fiction writer, dramatic animation spec script screenwriter, illustrator, app developer, blogger, producer, and filmmaker, of American, and according to DNA records at 23AndMe and the Genographic Project, Caucasian, Mongol, Berber, Moroccan, Tunisian, Australian, British, and French ancestry and descent of unknown cultural origins or lineage. He is the 2017 Founder and Recruiter of J.M. Matthews Media Animation Studios. Primarily known in the webcomics, anime fan, American manga, and internet communities. He is the author of several pulp-influenced and inspired book, comics, manga, and short stories, including End Times and Mono Jubei, one of the pioneering post-apocalyptic works and archetypal fiction and fantasy characters of the early 21st Century. He was also an early and pioneering contributor to YouTube streaming video uploading technology, the creator and inventor of ActionToonTV and ActionToonTV Mobile action genre anime web 2.0 app and online network, and the founder of the streaming animation and action cartoon app and webstream movement happening online recently.

He is attacked, parodied, mocked, criticized, featured, expose'd, filmed, written about, wifi hacked, impersonated, quoted, referenced, and praised, continually, indirectly, and vicariously in virtually all forms of printed, broadcasted, and published media virtually every minute or less every day, 365 days a year. He is both one of the most famous and infamous and referenced celebrities and public figures in the entire history of media and the world, which often makes reference to his unconventional, casual, aggressive, sometimes heavyset sometimes not athletic sedantary bodytype, rugged unruly facial hair, curly scalp, spectacles, and general off putting demeanor, which is often not at all popular with his audience, despite his cultural and media fame, popularity online and in the United States / worldwide, and ubiquity. Despite this, he is often portrayed in pop culture as a stereotype of a nerd or pervert, an awkward, morbidly obese, ugly, criminal, pedophilic (due to his famed lolita fetish, which he never acts upon and never would choose to), predatory, hypersexualized, hedonistic, materialistic, masturbatory, disheveled, unwashed, misanthropic, pasty, white and/or black, unlucky, and friendless,, despite having several friends, and a mountain of evidence to the exact opposite conditions..Despite his overwhelming fame, ubiquity and popularity, J.M.has lived with his adoptive parents in their Casselberry, Florida, Seminole County house, and remains largely uncompensated for any of his work being misappropriated, adaptted, and plagiarized by greedy power-hungry copyright-disacknowledging executives in L.A., New York, and Japan who have misappropriated his name, face, and likeness without monetizing said activity for him (J.M. Matthews) and stil refuse to pay him a single penny or dollar, or admit any form of public apology for Viacom and other mainstream corporations admisssion of wrongdoing and guilt towards J.M. which is illegal and a crime in all 50 states, let alone paying J.M. millions or billions for his likeness or the intellectual property J.M. created online which they without J.M.'s permission, and continue to misappropriate without J.M.'s monetization, consent, contract, compensation, or license. J.M. can thus far not afford to take legal action against these big businesses, media companies, websites, and corporations because he doesn't have enough money to pay a lawyer to defend him and his litigious legal battle. His legal case and battle against corporations is so vast, widespread, and compelling and widely ignored that if it ever went mainstream it would bankrupt many of those companies in legal fees and royalty payments and the fallout that goes with the territory, so naturally companies like Viacom deny and bully the issue, and attempt to bury and fight J.M.'s mission with big news campaigns which include more swiped parody, brainwashing, "face horror time", intimidation, reverse psychology, media propaganda, "puppeteering" techniques, false accusations, PR spin, marketing, and more PR News Distraction Campaigns.

Birth
Born in the United States, JM grew up speaking fluent American English, and was born and adopted in Ann Arbor Michigan, in Ypsilanti County, adopted at the University of Michigan Hospital, spent his early childhood years living in Ann Arbor, Michigan, moving with his parents before the age of 5 to Central Florida.

DNA and Ethnic National Origin, potential ties to Thomas Merton
JM has “hidden genetic lineage” that traces back over many centuries to Great Britain, France, Australia, Mongolia, Berber, Tunisia, Morocco, and parts of Africa numerous centuries ago, according to a DNA test he once took as part of the National Geographic Genographic Project. JM's British biological father, Glendis Sorrell, whom JM never met when his father was alive, built automobiles for a living in the local Michigan automotive factory, according to his death certificate, and at another point practiced Catholicism as a “Trappist monk” according to my JM's biological mother Marriane B. Gabel. Who also claimed Joseph is one of the grandchildren of Thomas Merton, famed religious figure and the world's most famous Christian Monk.

Early years, Early Schooling, Preschool
Upon the start of his childhood growing up in Florida, JM attended preschool in Maitland, where he met one of his two lifelong best friends, Chris, and after that, attended elementary schooling, in Seminole, where JM Matthews still lives today. In Elementary School, JM excelled in writing and art, and got very good grades received early high praise from teachers, which left a strong formative impression on JM's confidence as an artist.. After that, JM attended Middle School, where he was was tested to have an I.Q. Of 130, and promoted to gifted classes as a result, for English and Science and maintained a generally positive relationship with friends and classmates. This was where JM met his other best friend, a local musician and aspiring comedian in his school named Johnny. In middle school, JM's parents purchased him a drumset, and he excelled at English and rhythmic orchestral percussion in extracurricular band class, including snare drum, tamborine, bass drum, triangle and bells. J.M. realized he had an advanced understanding of rhythmic percussion and musical composition by this point. He began listening to alternative rock CDs along with his classmates, and began studying the work of highly complex and established professional drummers and percussionists in the rock genre, including Jimmy Chamberlin of The Smashing Pumpkins, Tim Alexander of Primus, Carter Beauford of Dave Matthews Band, and the musical scores and composition of rhythm centric-composer Danny Elfman. The Middle School JM attend had a vibrant music program, but didn’t have any art classes or art teachers at the time, so most of JM's early art and drawing was drawn and sketched during classes he found boring, on notebook paper, where JM drew cartoons and comics he shared with his friends and classmates, who all strongly admired his artistic abilities and often requested drawings from him. After JM graduated Middle School where he got most of his good grades, JM unsuccessfully attended a local public High School, which he found quite unnerving personally. It was harsher, more aggressive, and harder to pass classes and there was more bullying amongst his classmates than JM had previously seen before in his earlier middle school and elementary adolescence in the mid 90s. Upon absence from school for psychiatric hospitalization from a full blown nervous breakdown caused by the stress of school, JM and was forced by his parents to transfer to a much smaller private charter school. What people in the current media now refer to as "secular charter schools". JM Had a much more positive experience in charter school than public community high school, and to everyone's surprise, began excelling academically and making a lot of friends in his classes again, with very little hostility towards himself to be found at the time in 2000 and 2001, with few exceptions. One of JMs older classmates, Amanda, coincidentally had also transferred schools for personal problems as JM had, also attended the same charter school as well as the same middle school as JM. After they went to high school together with everyone else at the school, JM and Amanda would go on to bond later on, and become very close friends.

Adolescence to Young Adulthood, Animation Lessons. Attendance at the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale. Second Nervous Breakdown
JM graduated from his charter school class as a salutatorian, the second highest ranking Grade Point Average in his high school class, which later led to JM receiving a fully paid scholarship to the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale, based on good word of mouth from J.M.'s early 2000s art mentor, Animation industry veteran and School of Visual Arts graduate, Phil Ferretti, who had worked as an intern on Nickelodeon's first Nicktoon, DOUG, and the MTV Animation series, Mike Judge's Beavis and Butt-Head, in the mid and early 90s. Upon graduation from high school, after a mid-sized hiatus upon receiving his high school diploma from private high school, JM applied to and submitted his portfolio to 2 art schools, the Ringling School of Art and Design, and the Art Institute of Ft. Lauderdale (AiFL). JM was rejected by Ringling, but gained acceptance to and invariably studying for a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) In the Media Arts and Animation program, time as a popular man on campus, and local legend among 2002 attendees, where JM met an equally rebellious female friend named future Suicide Girls photographer and entrepreneur, Nicole Cook who was studying Photography, and J.M. lived in a room with roommate John Miller who was also studying Media Arts and Animation. Once again, psychological disaster struck without much warning, as JM had another nervous breakdown in art school, and was taken out of art school only to be "baker acted" by Florida's medical community, a medical and psychiatric law only legal in Florida, and dumped in a psychiatric ward in Orlando, mostly for not returning his adoptive parents phone calls from his house in Casselberry attempting to maintain communication with him,, and neglected schoolwork and instead of working on school projects. JM got distracted and would loiter and socialize with dorm neighbors a lot at the Sunrise Hall Living Quarters Apartment. JM's dorm neighbors liked him a lot, and he achieved a newly discovered popularity in AiFL Art school for the most part, and was very popular in art school, a “star” at the school and dorm, where he achieved some local fame in art school, but was forced to make an early exit, as he came under a lot of fire and medical pressure from his parents back home for socializing "too much and at unwanted times." JM was both one of the most disruptive students his art school had ever seen, and one of its most famous, well liked, popular, and high achieving, as he didn't just goof off. Half of JM's time was spent sketching across campus. Just not for schoolwork. In retrospective, J.M. found it odd how obsessed his adoptive parents had become over J.M. medical and psychiatric "maintenance" to the point of dismissing the creative and spiritual elements of his academic pursuits.

2002, Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale Dropout Recovery Period
Upon returning home, JM entered a dark dark period of his life where he lived in my parents house to this day mostly, attended night classes in film, music, and art, at a downtown community college. His neighbors in Casselberry, and neighborhood teenage thugs, who were local Floridian racists, anti-semitic, white nationalists, drug addicts, and bigots, began bullying J.M. and attacking his computer with viruses and stealing his adoptive father's WIFI, on a continually aggressive manner in a way they never had before he had lived in Fort Lauderdale or previously in Casselberry. Casselberry was encountering a racist and bigoted uprising which is had never encountered before ==The Controversy and Infamy/Scandal Hustlers, Gawker Dark Web Illegal Espionage controversy. Early run ins with Trojans, Spyware, Malware, Slander, Exposes, Libel, Murder attempts, Local Neighborhood assailants and Bullies / Cyberbullies, ASMB, Encyclopeadia, Dramatica, fighting Shou Tucker / Colonel Stinkmeaner, and Inspector Heinrich Lunge, and early run ins with North Korea.== We could go there, and talk about those people, and their various legal and ethical trespasses and violations. But it's already been discussed to death. Let's not and say we did.

2008 Working in Television, Anime Dubbing Studio Bang Zoom!, Anime Review Show Writer on Go Anime TV
In 2008, J.M. ended up writing online reviews for the TV show Go Anime TV, hosted by anime veteran voice actor celebrity Johnny Young Bosch, and produced by producer Eric P. Sherman and his anime dubbing studio, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bang_Zoom!_Entertainment Bang Zoom! Entertainment] of Los Angeles, where despite much difficulty, continued to pursue his career goals in entertainment, animation, anime, co-productions, manga, and comics. Both celebrities were industry vets J.M. would have something of a falling out with upon the failure of GoAnimeTV to achieve a real audience, a conflict arising more from circumstance than actual animosity.

END TIMES Manga, Indie Comic and Pulp Literature Series
In 2004, JM began work on what would become my would-be magnum opus and one of my most popular projects of all time: Parallax or "END TIMES" as it came to become known by others. JM's comic, that was heavily influenced and inspired by his love for the aesthetics of action movies and cartoons, manga, and anime.

DVD Authoring and Video Engineering Career
In 2005, JM ended up an engineer alongside being an artist-writer-creator also began experimenting with DVD authoring software, which was the first example of his engineering skills put to work, when JM made his own DVD of video taken directly from websites and made into a DVD film he created at home from scratch on no budget, of what was primarily footage of Toonami and Adult Swim interstitials he found on early Apple-based video websites. And then a miracle happened.

YouTube and Google Career, Beginning of Copyrighted Video Content Uploading on YouTube
Rolling Stone, which had helped JM in the past, helped JM once again a thousand times over by making him aware of a new website that was “turning normal everyday people into worldwide Hollywood players. YouTube.” This sounded intriguing to JM, so JM went online to investigate. Lo and behold, what JM found there was a fledgling website in 2005, YouTube that was openly accepting video uploads from anyone for anything at the time. It made no mention of copyright or anime, so JM figured what the hell, I’ll give it a try. Then without hesitation JM began uploading much of the footage from his video collection off of Adult Swim and Toonami sites, and leftover footage from his “TV-DVD” tech invention prototype he had produced months earlier. JM WAS looking for exposure for his anime filmmaking skills and YouTube seemed like just such an outlet. People took notice, and the rest, as they say, is online and digital anime history.

SplitAtomBoom YouTube Channel
J.M.'s YouTube channel, SplitAtomBoom, received over 647,000 views (more than half a million) and 1 million minutes of viewership. Primarily for his immensely popular and commented on Gorillaz "Clint Eastwood" music video, as well as hosting the entire second season of the popular noir anime Big O 2. But as many YouTube anime uploads sites go, was eventually taken down by Youtube over copyright claims between J.M. and YouTube to be replaced by a less popular channel with far fewer uploads.

Amazon
J.M. is the author of numerous published books and Kindle Ebooks, Including to Amazon genre bestsellers. His books include Art Manifested: The Art of J.M. Matthews, an art book (first edition; Kindle Second ebook second edition), End Times (One Shot), the bestselling Kindle manga graphic novel, End Times: Anthology, MONO: The Anthology Megamix, and the 4,000+ page Journals Volume 1-4 Quadrilogy. all published through Amazon.

Other Writing Venues
Print versions of many of J.M. Matthews books and cartoons can be purchased and found at Lulu and his writing can be found on such sites as Blogspot, as well as his J.M. Matthews account at the literary website Scribd.

Refusal To Switch To Digital Drawing in Webcomics and Animation
Due to limited budgetary constraints, high levels of artistic integrity, and a old fashioned values, J.M. chose to continue using lead pencils and mechanical pens to draw he bulk of his artwork. “It's a textural thing,” he says. “Generally if someone's drawing with a Tablet without using actual tangible drawing lines, you can tell if you're experienced at drawing by hand enough. It just doesn't feel right. It feels dull and fake. There's nothing wrong with busting out paper, pens, sharpies, and lead pencils and just diving in. I really couldn't give a shit if this is how Marvel and Cartoon Network draw all their books and shows now. To me, it's all wrong. I don' mind Flash or ToonBoom, as long as they're doing it the anime way, and scanning and animating lead pencil or pen ink paperwork. Most anime gets it right. They're more old fashioned than they let on.” He was quoted of saying this well into 2017.

2018 Death of J.M.'s Adoptive Mother, Relocation, Severing ties with Lulu Publishing
J.M.'s adoptive and essentially only mother Peggy, died recently on January 13th of 2018. And J.M. found himself deeply saddened and depressed by this, finding it difficult to keep up with his comic book duties, and dealing with a case of often severe writers block brought on by the chaos of living with his brother's family in Casselberry, of whom he found extremely difficult to live with and get along with, and the difficulty of J.M.'s coming to terms with his mother's death

At his mother's funeral J.M. got to meet many old friends and family figures from his childhood, many of whom he ended up keeping in contact with and friending on his Facebook account, which J.M. keeps family and close-friend centric for the most part.

In 2018, J.M. Matthews recently closed his Lulu author book publishing account, citing deep dissasisfaction with Lulu Publishing, saying the entire company, despite being successful at making money, was a scam, citing the fact that Lulu intentionally refused to promote it's author clients from making money, and almost no profits from that websites were generated from booksales, of which almost no sales exist to support Lulu's authors, with virtually all of lulu's profits being generated from printing fees Lulu charges its authors without compensating them with any royalties from booksales in stores, of which sales for books and royalties fro Lulu's authors bein essentially nonexistent.

As of May 2018, J.M. recently moved out of Casselberry, and into his own apartment-house located in Longwood, Florida, where he currently resides.
