About Me

I'm a writer and illustrator hard at work in animation, comics, and gaming. Nickel-Dime Diaries is an independent comic I started four years ago chronicling life in Oakland, CA. As I gear-up to debut 510 nationwide in 2009, I'll post more artwork and unpublished strips here on MySpace. You can also check out my website . So peep game and leave me some feedback--MANG.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Patricia Williams, Aisha Tyler, Kayce Freed, Teresa Strasser, Shira Lazar, Liz Habib, Alison Bailes, Peggy Hill, and Lucille Ball.
