About Me

I got into the comics medium early, around age four. I liked the smell of print almost as much as the smell of gasoline. I wanted to be a car mechanic but my parents insisted on comics. My first strip was silent and ended with the protagonist getting blown to pieces by some dynamite in his pants. Later I learned the alphabet.

After a few decades I got bored and turned to filmmaking. My first films were shot in 35mm color cinemascope with dolby stereo sound. As I got more experienced I upgraded to 16 mm and mono sound. Finally I made a black and white super-8 silent movie. Then I returned to comics.
