About Me

Not much to tell really. I'm a geek, lets get that right out there in the open. I'm an artist, and a writer. I'm constantly working on one of my many projects, whether it be my comics or one of my many unfinished novels. I'm obsessed with horror flicks, especially those involving zombies. I watch entirely too many movies, I read entirely too much, and I drink an unhealthy amount of coffee pretty much on a daily basis.Here's the link for "Ooh, Pie!" The first comic coming out from Bogeyman's Closet Comics (mine and my partner's studio...and by partner I mean hetero-life mate....no really...don't look at me like that!Our first graphic novel, Ooh, Pie! , is now available for online sale through Comixpress. Here's the link to the webstore (click the cover image):
Ooh, Pie! follows the misadventures of a demon-possessed teddy bear called Twiggles and his absurd crew of hellish henchmen as they repeatedly attempt to exact revenge on the man known only as Dad for inflicting upon Twiggles the dreaded curse of Bedtime!
84 pages, perfect bound, black-and-white graphic novella from the twisted minds of the Bogeyman's Closet. (Mature readers only.)
