Hi, my name's Jonathan "Pegleg" Pelleg and I‘m a writer, creative director and obsessive culture sponge.
I love to play with my words like a toddler plays with their food, rewriting every sentence 30 ways and making a beautiful mess in the process to find the perfect way to say the perfect message.
I write scripts, journal entries, pitch decks, short stories, illegible post-it notes, morale-bolstering emails and this page. When I'm not writing, I'm absorbing new bands, novels and comics, or playing games of the board, tabletop, card, and video varieties.
Here are some things I've been digging for the first half of 2026:
Movie: Fantastic Planet (1973)
Novel: Psalm for the Wild Built by Becky Chambers
Graphic Novel: Mister Miracle by Tom King
New game: Expedition 33
Retro game: Final Fantasy VI
Artist: Thundercat
I'm currently living in Oakland, CA. Please email me if you want to know anything else or would like a picture of my dog or cat (Poppy and Daisy, respectively).![]()
