I'm a journalist working out of Vancouver/Toronto, Canada who has written for various publications including TVWeek, Peace Arch News, The Magazine (Not for Adults) and most recently, ABILITIES MAGAZINE winter 2007 issue.Now, I'm about to embark on the single most difficult, important, career make-or-break journalistic enterprise of my natural existence on earth--The Ryerson Review of Journalism www.rrj.ca (NO PRESSURE, OR ANYTHING!!!)Look for LAUGHING MATTERS in the Summer 2007 issue of Abilities featuring Last Comic Standing winner Josh Blue, The Anti-Giant Andre Arruda, the first disabled comic on the Tonight Show Brett Leake and star of Shameless: The Art of Disability, David Roche.
On October 7th 2006 I participated in a grueling international marathon of explosive creativity. One normal comic book is 24 pages. I wrote and illustrated one comic book in 24 hours (that's one completed page an hour--no stopping) along with many other artists at Hairy Tarantula West in Toronto, Ontario www.hairyt.com. Every year, the best work is placed in an anthology that is sold at comic shops and book stores around the world. Two of us from Hairy T are represented in the anthology, one of my panels from "The Amazing Broverman Survives 24 hour comic day" (featuring the day's inventor, Scott McCloud, as a fairy) and my friend Rodrigo "Bravo" Santos (featured at the bottom of this page) has his incredible full story, "Ruins", about living life to the fullest, is featured within its pages. So support us, and the rest in the book, and buy yourself a copy at your local comic shop. Comic Shop Locator: 1-888-COMIC-BOOK
I also have disability, but before you get all excited, know that I walk with a cane and use a scooter and manual chair. It really depends on my mood which one i use. I am also an activist for disability rights, I snowboard and I used to play wheelchair basketballAs a writer I find myself on the computer more than is healthy and locked inside worlds in my head. Professional success breeds a social sacrifice that turns me into one of these:
Then again, One million monkeys at one million typewriters could potentially change the world!
DC COMICS PITCH: "A Ripping Yarn" by Warren Ellis 2002It occurs to me that an awful lot of trouble in Gotham City could have been averted a long time ago if Batman had just ripped the Jokers nipples off.I mean, treatment doesnt work, does it? They stick the Joker in the nuthatch, he comes out again and does the same things.A man with the nipples ripped off him does not make the same mistakes twice.Criminals are a superstitious, cowardly lot, and need the nipples ripped off them.I mean, whos going to argue?Batman, Ive heard disturbing reports that you ripped the Jokers nipples off.Choke on my fuck, Commissioner Gordon.okay.I mean, crime in Gotham City doesnt exactly seem to be affected by a man dressed as a bat flapping around the place. But no-one disobeys a man wearing a necklace of human nipples.Im Batman isnt cutting it in the striking-fear-into-their-hearts stakes. But Im Batman and Im here for your nipples is an entirely different proposition.Criminals would see the error of their ways after a man in a black leather pervert suit had their nipples off with the edge of a Batarang, you mark my words. Or a Bat-Denipplizer.Im off to ring DC Comics.
