About Me

Learn all you ever wanted to know about me and my comics by listening to an hour and a half long podcast interview I did with Indie Spinner Rack . Oh, you want the short answer, you say?

I draw a comic called My Brain Hurts , about a couple of queer punk rock kids in NYC. It comes out thrice yearly at the moment. Click here for a list of where to buy it, or just get it directly from me here or at one of the conventions listed below.

I also draw a webcomic called Freewheel , which is the story of Jamie, a young girl with an active imagination, who goes on a "quest" to save her older brother. A new page of Freewheel goes up every other Wednesday!

Subscribe to my blog for updates and to see new pages and projects as they're completed. You can also add me on LiveJournal for a similar result. Also I'm on ComicSpace .

Come visit me at a convention:
October 12-13, 2007 - SPX - Bethesda, MD MyGen Profile Generator
