About Me


Pimp out your webpage with PimpWebpage
Born in Manhattan, Ian K. is older than MTV but younger than Etch-A-Sketch tm, making him contemporary with Lite-Brite tm. Like his contemporary, Ian exists to entertain others; a skill he has been honing for 2 decades.

After attending White Plains High School , Ian went on to study Latin, German, Classical Greek, French, Theatre, and Linguistics at Roger Williams University in historic Bristol, RI.

At some point while trying his hand at retail management, playwriting, screenwriting, acting, juggling, painting, playing drums/ukulele, and bartending, Ian decided that writing comics was probably the best way to make use of his classical education and has devoted himself tirelessly to this task.

In his spare time, Ian spends time with friends, reads comics, and tries desperately to keep track of his ideas.

He has made Warren Ellis admit to smiling.

Ian currently lives on Earth... with you.

I make webcomics. Links to them live below this line of text.

Music:

My favorite contemporary band is the Weakerthans, my favorite band in general is the Clash... I'm also pretty big on the Pogues. Cannonball Adderly is definitely ringing my bell these days. the Decemberists are pretty brilliant. I also listen to a lot of Motion Picture Scores, so, John Williams, John Ottman, and Ennio Morricone are all very incredible.Alright, look, I'll level with you -- I work in a music and movie store so I'm familiar with a tremendous amount of music and I like a lot of it from Mark Knopfler to Gogol Bordello to Hector Berlioz, to Johnny Cash... I don't like Rap or Showtunes and that's about it.

Movies:

the Usual Suspects is my favorite. It would be stupid to list movies I just thought were good.

Television:

Mr. Show, the State, Monty Python's Flying Circus, Rowan & Martin's Laugh In, Your Show of Shows, SNL Seasons 1-25, the Muppet Show, Kids in the Hall

Books:

the Chronicles of Druss the Legend, Watchmen, V for Vendetta, the Dark Knight Returns, Top 10, A Civil Tongue, the Golden Bough, Paradise Lost, American Gods, Smoke & Mirrors, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Volume II, Promethea

4th Blood

I'm watching "First Blood" right now. A lot of people forget that the first Rambo movie was just called First Blood. Many people also forget that it's actually a well made movie and based on a very de...

World's End As We Know It

Adaptation

I'm watching "300" right now. It's pretty good. I like it better than "Sin City." In fact, I didn't really like Sin City that much. Well... no, I did. I liked it a lot. It's inaccurate to say that I d...
