About Me

I am the a freelance artist and writer, based out of Austin, Texas. I founded Studio Underhill to publish my comics All Miracles Have A Price and Berserker: The Wild Hunt with writer and co-creator Jens H. Altmann. I've also worked with Savant magazine and PopImage and worked on Richard Linkletter's A Scanner Darkly.I've drawn for text-book companies, comics, designed tattoos (including my own) and websites and have an occasional stint as animator or storyboard artist. I've got art up at my main site and at my DeviantArt pageI do all my work digitally, using Painter, Photoshop, a couple of trusty workhorse computers and a lot of swearing.Oh, and I'm also rockin' like Dokkin.I like to paint socialy, drink good beer and better vodka and generally have a good time. I can swing and I've been known to do a mean salsa on occasion. I'm an ordained minister, so you know I'm in good with the guys upstairs, or at least possibly the downstairs franchise. I've got a license to marry people and I'm not afraid to use it.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I want to meet fun people to talk to and hang out with. I value a quick wit and a sharp sense of humor. Being a geek as well, or at least geek curious, is always a big plus. Also, as I said, I freelance as an illustrator and writer. If you want to commission something, I'm interested in meeting you.

Music:

Charitably described as "Ecclectic". On an average day I'll listen to Jim Steinman, Flogging Molly, Social Distortion, Hikaru Utada, Dragonforce, Cowboy Mouth, Yoko Kanno, The Pixies and Leonard Cohen.

Movies:

Most recently:Casino Royale Infernal Affairs The Bourne Ultimatum Spirited Away 3:10 to Yuma Death Note Eastern Promises Millenium Actress

Television:

Veronica Mars Heroes Prison Break Reaper Mythbusters

Books:

Too damn many to list here.
