About Me

"All I want is what's coming to me. All I want is my fair share."
-- Sally Brown, A Charlie Brown Christmas
I am a cartoonist! Or at least that is what I tell myself before I go to sleep at night to stop myself from crying.
I'm quirky and whimsical and annoying, probably!
I am a snob about my musical tastes and I like hoity-toity artsy films as much as summer blockbusters.
CURRENTLY LISTENING TO: Metric - Fantasies/Yeah Yeah Yeahs - It's Blitz
I am crazy in love with comic books, music, animation, television and film and would love to someday be involved in any and all of them. (thus setting myself up for countless crushed dreams)
***ON SALE NOW! WILDGUARD: INSIDER #3 by Todd Nauck, published by Image Comics, featuring my first published comic book work! Shake something in celebration! Anything! (except babies)***

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Joss Whedon (other than just staring at him in awe from across the DC Direct booth), Wes Anderson, Sufjan Stevens (in hopes that his genius would rub off somehow), Zeb Wells (for whatever reason, the universe does not want our paths to cross), Todd Dezago (because we've never met in person), Stephen Colbert and Mitch Hedberg (in Heaven).

I would just stand there and mumble and salivate, though.

And I would be far too terrified to meet Joe Madureira (he is forever my Art God).

Additionally: Someone who completely "gets" me.
