I also just finished a Graphic Novel - Therefore Repent! - a collaboration with DIY author/publisher Jim Munroe, available now from NMK and soon from IDW in the US!

Go here for more down low on that.

Occasionally I’ve also worked in film doing storyboards, designed and manufactured props, painted murals, and carved a trade sign or two for local bars. You may contact me about any of the above or just to spread the love!

My Interests

Art, comics, writing, film, music, dancing, cycling, walking, seeing, doing, making stuff, thinking and the pleasures of the flesh and 5 senses.
