About Me

I am a cartoonist, illustrator, writer and animator and all-around bon vivant. I'm crazy about early-to-mid sixties design, architecture, cinema, music and space-age culture. I couldn't be happier that Tiki, Lounge, Mid-Mod, Burlesque and hot rod culture just won't go away. Oh...and I also love horror movies (though not so much the necro-gore variety). If you want to see some of my work, go to www.redmeat.com or check out my animated web series "Shadow Rock" on comedycentral.com's MotherLoad (in the "web shows" section if they're still up). Otherwise, look for them on itunes in the next few months. P.S. Check out the "games section" at comedycentral.com, and look for the "Shatnerd Trivia Game." That's me doing my piss-poor imitation of Shatner's voice, and not getting paid for it. And yes, I do have an unpimped page devoid of musical and video entertainment. WTF is my deal?

My Interests

Zinnias, 15th century textiles, nematodes, underwear.

I'd like to meet:

Ostrogoths, Visigoths, Phlegmlocks. Possibly, the glowing, floating, advice-giving head of Abraham Lincoln.

Music:

Old school jazz, lounge, exotica, ambient and soundtrack stuff. Although, I may, at any time, without warning,"ROCK."

Movies:

Bring 'em on. Good, bad, bizarre, unintelligible...it doesn't matter. I host a monthly short film festival/gong show at the Loft Cinema, and I can't wait for the first Friday of every month.

Television:

Too shrill. Makes me nervous.

Books:

Shameful admission: I've been reading through Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch novels. Who doesn't love a lone-wolf, avenging angel, cop on the edge?

Heroes:

I prefer hoagies.
