About Me

i'm a cartoonist from central new york. i spend a majority of my time drawing, watching 70's sitcom dvds, drinking too much diet coke, eating too many doritos and sleeping way too little.

Bob the Squirrel is my pride and joy. a daily comic strip that mirrors my life in more ways than i care to blog about. i have been doing the strip in one form or another for four years. that's damn near forever in squirrel years. bob is syndicated thru gocomics .

frankpage.net is a site strictly for my illustration work that i will be getting up as soon as humanly possible...

My Interests

music--have played guitar for 17 years
dvds--i'm running out of places to store them all
creating a funny comic strip

I'd like to meet:

albert einstein
charles schulz
bill watterson
richard roundtree
melvin van peebles
jimi hendrix
jimmy page
jimminy cricket
james brown
muhammad ali
henry rollins
mike peters
redd foxx
steve buscemi

Music:



the music thing for me is pretty much across the board--- the beauty of having so many songs on you ipod is that you never know who is going to pop on--- so i can go from slayer to amy grant to henry rollins to trisha yearwood and no one but me will know what's going on behind the earphones...

Movies:

again... across the board. netflix is my hero on so many levels.

Television:

all time favorites:
sanford and son
good times
deadliest catch
what's happening
that's my mama
sopranos
csi
hogan's heroes
the jeffersons
jackass (i can watch those idiots over and over and STILL laugh)
OZ
there have to be a few dozen more at least...

Books:

don't have as much time as i would like to read...i could list some authors, but that won't get their books read...:-)

Heroes:
