THIS SPACE IS ALL MINE!

About Me

Corbett is an illustrator and cartoonist living in the Minneapolis area.
He enjoys making people laugh through the long forgotten art of being [b]funny[/b].
Sometimes Corbett draws with pencils, like this: AMAZING! or this: INCREDIBLE!
Sometimes he draws digitally, with a Wacom tablet, like this: FANTASTIC! or this: HACHI BABBA!
He's working on some sketchcard sets for Breygent Marketing : BAM!
He's drawn a few comics, like this: ZOWIE!
And simple magazine spots like this: SPOOT! and this: HRM!
He does interviews with swanky Los Angeles magazines you've never heard of: SWANK!
Makes loud noises with his instrument: TOOT!
And sometimes has big hair: POOF!
Corbett loves you.
Feel the love.
You wear a lot of "wife beaters" in your photo section. Do you beat wives?
Heaven's no! What a ghastly thing to suggest! I often wear tank tops because I rarely do laundry. Tank tops allow me to wear the same shirt over and over and over without it ever touching my armpits.
You're hot.
Thank you, but that's not a question.
Are you hot, Corbett?
Yes.
What do you do for a living, really?
When not immitating meat products, I work in the print industry doing layout and design. I have now for about 10 years. Occasionally I do freelance illustration and the like.
Is it true you have an unhealthy obsession with Winona Ryder?
A lot of words are thrown around like, "unhealthy" and "obsession" and "have". . .they amount to no more than fanciful rumors and are created to undermine my moral presence on the internet.
However, if Winona should do a random Google search on her name, and find herself reading this. . . . .I loved you in Welcome Home Roxy Carmichael! CALL ME!
Got a question? Send it here!
