Damon Abdallah

I was born in Spokane, WA in 1978. When I was in elementary school, the only thing I wanted to be when I grew up was a comic book artist. Then I started to play basketball in Junior High/High School and that REALLY made me want to be a comic book artist! When it became clear that I was not destined to be the next Charles Barkley, my best friend Mike suggested I enroll in drama class and try out for the school play. Twelve years later, I have appeared in over 70 productions, one-acts, musical reviews, vaudvillian "olio" shows, short and feature films, radio station I.D.'s,as well as having auctioneered, emceed concerts and performed my original music at open mic's and living rooms all over the Pacific Northwest. In December of 2004 I married a sweet girl named Ginny and we moved out to a tiny town in Central Washington called Twisp, where we went to work for a small professional theater and occasionally mow our lawn. Eventually, we let the lawn go by the wayside, as the theatre proved more of an artistic challenge. The comic book artist dream has recently been realised in the form of a bi-monthly panel in "The Methow Valley News", a weekly newspaper serving Okanogan County. In 2008, I wrote my first professional screenplay, as well as illustrating the storyboards for Sage Bannick's horror-thriller, "The Absent". In the fall of the same year, we moved back to Spokane, feeling the winds of change once again.
