I am invincible and so are you.

About Me

My name is Christopher. I'm a writer, artist and graphic designer. I create a comic book series called THE GHOULY BOYS for SLG Publishing and occassionally contribute to other comics works (HAUNTED MANSION, TALES OF HOT ROD HORROR, SLAVE LABOR STORIES, STRANGE EGGS PRESENTS, THE BULLET ANGELICA and others).

The story so far...

A week after graduating high school, I was hired to work the graveyard shift as a clean up artist for an animation studio. Working there under an "assembly line" type setup, I mind would wander off into thoughts of eventually starting my own comic book studio, where I could be my own boss and be free to create whatever I wanted. A year later, with my two best friends, we did it. We started self-publishing comics under the "Invincible Studios" imprint and put out 5 issues of a comic book anthology called, "THREE". After a decent start, each issue got increasingly fewer and fewer orders, so I had to finally throw in the towel. I may self-publish again someday, but for now "Invincible Studios" is mainly my art and design studio name.

10 years later:
I was picked up by SLG Publishing to write and illustrate my own comic book series. After releasing the first two issues of THE GHOULY BOYS, I decided to take a one year break to concentrate on my new role as a father. Before I knew it, that year turned into three... and counting. During the interim, I've contributed to some other projects and THE GHOULY BOYS has been optioned by Benderspink (A History of Violence, The Ring) and Mandate Pictures/Lionsgate (Juno, 30 Days of Night, The Evil Dead) to be made into a movie.

Today:
I'm a full time graphic designer for AEG Worldwide and occasionally spend some time on nights and weekends to work on a panel or two for THE GHOULY BOYS issue 3. Recently, I finished illustrating a 6 page story written by Cory Doctorow for the final issue of DISNEY'S HAUNTED MANSION comic book and illustrated 97 sketch cards for MARVEL COMICS' "Marvel Masterpieces II" trading cards.
