About Me

Editor at Dark Horse Comics/Books (recent triumphs: Diary of Indignities by Patrick Hughes; Empowered by Adam Warren; Outer Orbit by Zack Howard and Sean Murphy; Lonely Heart: The Art of Tara McPherson.) Artist/writer for a vast array of comic books over the years. Some are good, some not so much. Aging garage-guitar knucklehead not bright enough to see the writing on the wall. Rahrr! Singer/guitarist for the sensational, intelligent Cleavers, one of Portland's punk rock legends. Musical "career" high point: blowing out my knee while opening for Black Flag.
PLEASE GOD: I'm fine with "thanks for the add" images as long as they aren't enormous or of a nature that a reasonable person would think of them as advertising or shameless self-promotion that has nothing to do with the stuff I'm obviously into. No offense. As far as you know. (Actual, real-world friends and colleagues are welcome to shamelessly self-promote, within reason, you piggy-backing bastards.)
PRIVATE PROFILERS: If you have a private profile, don't be surprised if I don't add you. On the positive side, being my friend is no picnic.
