About Me

i draw alot. here's proof - www.thedreamerandthefool.com
sometimes i think i'm the undrawn cartoon that would've been born from charles schulz and bill watterson working together. especially if mcgyver was overseeing the whole operation. think "pigpen meets calvin" without socks who works for the phoenix foundation. well, sort of.
NEW PAINTINGS! everybody loves new stuff! i think!
zine stuff! hop on the boat before it sinks without you!
next stop adventure zine - out now!
sometimes i write down these adventures and sell them / trade them in zine format. basically NEXT STOP ADVENTURE numbers 1 AND 2 (!) are out now. get in touch about getting one, if you like sockless, coconut-shattering, KFC-sleeping, bike trip adventures.
if you're really interested, you can buy them from me, or from the following places:
microcosm publishing - next stop adventure #1
microcosm publishing - NEXT STOP ADVENTURE #2!
loop distro - next stop adventure #1 also
loop distro - next stop adventure #2 DOUBLE also
thank you for the support! microcosm carries a patch of mine, too! and billy, of loopdistro, is rad beyond your wildest dreams! make sure he knows that!

things that happen when i go "hmmm"
