Philadelphian by birth, Bostonian by happenstance, Denverite by choice. Over the last few years I've written/drawn several comics: Angst Boy Comics, Sturm und Drang, Schadenfreude and Byron: Mad, Bad, and Dangerous (now being published by SLG Publishings.) I'm currently working on the next Byron series: Byron: Die Byron! Die!; doing some freelance work for DoggieWare (a division of Flying Dog Brewery) and several other Denver companies; as well as working part time for Modern Drunkard Magazine .
Check out some of my artwork HERE. It's NEAT!!!

"Writer/artist Karl Christian Krumpholz's comic series, Byron, tells a story of growing up, discovering who you are, and learning just how foolish it is to glamorize dark things that very well might be real. Set in the pulsing, dimly-lit world of the gothic night club, "Lord Byron," dressed to the nines, craves the attention and approval of the club crowd, and he tries just a bit too hard to impress: Byron is living the unfortunate life of a poseur in a world filled with real life menace. - SLG Publishing
"Karl Christian Krumpholz has... crafted a wry and ofttimes truly terrifying book. The protagonist Byron is characterized with a complexity of ambition and insecurity that has only ever been handled properly in the best of small press gems (such as Blue Monday or Strangers in Paradise), though the self-defacing humor of the book gives it its own, unique flavor." -Dave Baxter at Broken Frontier .
"Puncturing goth pretension with plastic fangs, Byron: Mad, Bad, And Dangerous (Slave Labor) is a loving deconstruction of the vampire-comics glut. Sprinkled with everything from H.P. Lovecraft an..o Peter Cushing and subcultural politics, writer-artist Karl Christian Krumpholz weaves a diabolical yet lightweight tale of Byron, an ersatz goth who winds up tangled in the vicious plots of real vampires. It's clear that Krumpholz is injecting some firsthand observations into his fiction, and he likewise lends quirky soul to his artwork, which imagines a cuddly Richard Sala jamming with Tim Burton. B" - The Onion AV Club .
"For me, despite the presence of sassy vampires and hallucinogenic hypno-toads, Byron's tales resonate with truth. Living in his beloved dark fantasy world, Byron is completely unprepared for real darkness. I find that hauntingly familiar... -Ted Naifeh (creator of Courtney Crumrin, Polly and the Pirates, and How Loathsome) from his Introduction.
