About Me

During the day I am a substitute teacher and at night I struggle to produce something worth looking at. I'm more successful at one of those jobs than I am at the other.
Check out Negative Burn #12 as it has a story in it by Phil Hester and I entitled Big Q: Butter Sandwich. Phil wrote an awesome script and he and I tackled the art. Check future issues of Negative Burn for more Big Q stories. I will be writing and drawing some of them.
Also working on a really cool action comic called Safe House with the super talented Dennis Hopeless. He's a great writer (if you don't believe me, check out GEARHEAD (now in trade paperback from Arcana)! It's awesome!) and apparently a super patient human being for putting up with my bullshit. I'm sure he's getting anxious to see some artwork from it, so I'll be posting teaser images in my pics folder. I'll keep you posted.Myspace Layouts

Lost...

I've resisted watching Lost for 5 seasons now. I don't know what it is. I didn't think it looked terrible, I just had no desire to get roped into it. That is, unti...

Lone Wolf and Cub

Well, I finally did it. I finished the entire run of Lone Wolf and Cub. Why is this a big deal? Well, it's a 28 volume series and each volume is about 300 pages long. You do th...

Spider-Man 3

Okay, I haven't seen Spider-Man 3 yet (after a failed attempt at the riverboat in KC this weekend) so I don't want any spoilers! I just need to vent about something that's getting on my nerves. ...

I guess this proves times have changed

Over the years I've been puzzled by the song selection for certain commerials. Either it's a song I'd never expect an ad agency to see as valid, or it's by a band or artist I never thought would...

Who gives a shit?

Well, a while back I deleted the blogs I had written. I just couldn't justify putting my thoughts on a public forum. I mean, how fucking arrogant could I be to think anyone gives two shits...
