Working like a madman

About Me


Comic book writer and artist for Silent Devil Productions mini series "Furious Fist of the Drunken Monkey:Origin of the Species" and the Silent Devil web comic "20%". I've also had work appear in books from Imperium Comics, Digital Webbing Press, Dimestore Press, Launchpad,Ronin Studios, and Top Cow's "The Unusual Suspects"."This was a fun read about a monkey, a gal, a frog, and a quest for love. If there is one unequivocal truth about the world it is that monkey = funny. Although the use of monkeys in comics has been prevalent throughout the years, I dont think Ive seen such an influx of primate activity on the four color page as I have recently. THE FURIOUS FIST OF THE DRUNKEN MONKEY is yet another tale of a tough talking simian and the trouble he gets into. Like I said, its a fun read that takes stabs at popular comics trends and had some pretty interesting twists and turns concerning monkey/hot chick relations that made me giggle quite a bit.
