About Me

Hey there, how are ya? I'm a freelance comic illustrator and cartoonist (www.deftoons.com). My current self-published work is a horror series titled School: A Ghost Story.

School is about a girl named Lindsay Buckner, 12 years old, all of a sudden wakes up as a ghost inside an elementary school. She has no recollection of how she died, when she died or who did it, so she needs to find out exactly what happened to her in the last moments of her life while in this elementary school that she's trapped inside. It's part murder mystery, part gothic horror, and it's something fresh for the new genre of comics. Go to http://www.deftoons.com/school.html if this peaks your fancy!
Feel free to drop me a line, too. My email is [email protected]. I look forward to hearing from you!

This is me dancing:

Actin A Fool!
