It's yaytime...let's go!

About Me

I work at Nickelodeon Magazine.
I draw a weekly webcomic called Astronaut Elementary . It's about going to school, falling in love and destroying your enemies in outerspace.
I also write some comic book series like Agnes Quill for Slave Labor Graphics
Jax Epoch and the Quicken Forbidden (like Alice in Wonderland set in NYC...with talking marshmallows)
& Teen Boat which combines the Angst of Being a Teen...With the Thrill of Being a Boat.
Check out the stories by me in the 3rd and 4th volumes of Flight available from Random House/Villard Books.
I've drawn some stuff for Wizard Rock bands like Harry and the Potters!
I have a Live Journal too which I update way more frequently than this page!
Did I mention my love for strawberry milkshakes?
Comics I had something to do with:
Check out the CD cover I drew for the band, Harry and the Potters!
The CD is available through their website.
And if you go to any of their live shows you can also buy buttons I designed!
Here's another CD I just did some art for:
