I have an Ikea temporary tattoo. Wanna see?

About Me

I guess this is where I'm supposed to show my wit & candor with lines like "I was born with human genitalia" or "Warning: Severe Tire Damage." Well, being a smartass can only get you so far, so that's why I'm banking my future in comics (a non-stop rollercoaster of poverty & fame, mixed in with extended bouts of inactivity). After all, nothing gets you prepared for life when your childhood dreams of being an astronaut are shot down with your mother saying, "But only astronauts with 20/20 vision are allowed in space!" Anyway, see current disasters in progress on my website .

My Interests

Art, cartooning, illustration, painting, drawing, music (listening & performing), reading, cooking, biking, driving, camping, swimming, hiking, ice hockey, movies, cartoons, Bombay Sapphire martinis, pancakes, Special Forces CQB weapons & tactics, science & technology, and long walks on the beach (seriously).

I'd like to meet:

Gunslingers, intellectuals that understand the nuances of a dick & fart joke, rockers, black girls that like country music, odalisques, hockey fans, Canadians, cartoonists, gag writers, race car drivers, astronauts, ice skaters, and models willing to be still for hours while I paint/draw/throw bologne at them.Also, no fatties ;P
