About Me

I'm a 30 year old freelance artist. I aspire to breed goats for racing and gambling purposes. I have no interest in being a beekeeper.

For some strange reason, I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when I first heard Hanson's "MMMBop".

If I see a peacock, I will chase it. They're arrogant birds and need to be taken down a peg.

"Beatboxing" is quite possibly the worst thing the human race has invented.

I know I'm too old to be on this. You can check out my web site at Blarg-and-Diners.com . In case you want to check out my show that you didn't go to, it's right here . Going to have an art book for it sometime soon! If you're a Dragon Quest fan, pay DQShrine.com a visit. It's the best darn resource around and recently celebrated ten years online!

My Interests

Keeping it gangsta with my g's on the west side, perfecting my beat while still having love for the street, and making fun of rappers.

But mostly illustration, bike riding, comics, games, music, 'n... stuff.

I'd like to meet:

If you know me one way or another, feel free to add me. Go away cam girls!

Music:

John Mayer, Five Iron Frenzy, No Doubt, Stevie Ray Vaughn, and a whole slew of 90's alternative bands that would clog up this page if I mentioned them all here. I still miss High Fidelity.

Movies:

Television:

Marvin Zindler's Rat and Roach Report, Wonderfalls, The Office with "Business School" being my favorite, Pushing Daisies, Arrested Development, Free Radio, Heroes, The Simpsons, Scrubs, South Park, Avatar, My Name is Earl, Lost, FLCL, Mr. Meaty

Books:

The Cheese Monkeys, Hollywood Causes Cancer, Ultimate Spiderman, X-Factor, Liberty Meadows, Scott Pilgrim, One Piece

Heroes:

Iain McCaig, Dr. Perry Cox, Chris Bachalo, Marvin Zindler, Bob Ross, Tom Dickson

My Two Cents

By now you probably know the story. I'm not a fan of the publisher. Yes, it's a bad contract. Unfortunately, most of the people railing on it don't sound any smarter. Anyone with half a brain wouldn'...

And The Reason is You

Know why I don't participate in any art communities? Because I'm unable to find one with people who can communicate without using "fuck" every other word. That and I can only take so many pictures of ...

Jeff Smith: Bone and Beyond

My Jeff Smith: Bone and Beyond book arrived yesterday. Still working my way through it, but it's a great, refreshing read. They really do get it. An art teacher once told me (on the first day no less)...

Jeff Smith Stuff

First up, I picked up a book called Gemini today. The art style attracted me and it wound up to be a pretty enjoyable read. With books like Cemetary Blues, Image has been publishing quite a few books ...

No, I'm not doing that "Draw Yourself as a Teenager" meme thing the internets are all over this days for two reasons. A: Nobody cares about my crappy artwork and... B: My fashion sense has...

The Roller Coaster That Is My Life

Sometimes, at lunch, if I want to get really crazy... I'll mix Cheerios in with the Special K. Yeah, that's right. ...

Best of Both Worlds!

Some would say my attitude towards a certain company is very Perry Cox. Well, now there's something that combines elements of Scrubs and Dragon Quest. I present... COXKNIGHT! OH HELL YEAH! ...

A Tale of a Disgruntled Game Show Host

There are four Wal-Marts 10 minutes in any direction. One of them has an employee who I guess decided to make his own shopping cart game show. He made a wheel and everything. Usually he lies in wait b...
