Illegitimus non carborundum

About Me


I'm a loose cannon and an edgy antihero. I tear a path of vengeance across the desolate urban wasteland where my only hope of survival is to keep my friends close and my enemies closer. My life is a gritty romantic comedy with a rock n' roll opera soundtrack. And just when you think you have it all figured out -- there's a twist.

Please visit my website. It will be fun.
Cast Of Characters:
(in no particular order)
Diva
Delilah
Seymour Glass. (Go on, tell me that's not a clever name for a fish.)
Me, affecting an expression which indicates that I am deep in thought. (Note: affecting.)
...that's a little too close, Mr. DeMille.
My new sidekick, Perky Percocet.
My shoes. I'm afraid they are much cooler than yours.
Whoa! How the hell did he get in here?
This a picture I did of my friend, Adrienne Barbeaubot because she was the first to answer the all-important trivia question I posed, "What movie did this line come from: 'This is my happening. And it's freaking me out!'"

My Interests

I like comics. I like comics a lot. That's just something you will have to accept. I read comics, I draw comics and during the day things will happen that will remind me of stuff I've seen in comics. My tastes lean towards the more "alternative" or "underground" types (the books you see under the heading "Graphic Novels"). I'm not going to launch into a list of my favorite cartoonists because there are too many. Just ask. I like the occasional Superhero stuff too, but I'm not a completist who knows every storyline by heart, so don't dismiss me if I don't know the secret identity of Peter Parker's long lost niece, ok fanboy? I also like Manga and Anime (some, that is) and weird animation.I love traveling, bookstores, dark and smoky coffeehouses, unique little art galleries, listening to bands, big cities, small towns and the countryside. I don't like suburbs. .. width="425" height="350" ....

Movies:



Television:

Sex In The City, Red Dwarf, The Office, Curb Your Enthusiasm and Six Feet Under. Kids In The Hall and Mr. Show reruns. And, um...*whispers* Golden Girls. That's about it. Don't ask me if I watched American Idol last night. I didn't. (Oh, um, and I watch Cartoon Network. And Adult Swim. I love Johnny Bravo and the Power Puff--what? Stop looking at me like that!)
I like Sci-Fi.

Books:

I read books without pictures once in awhile. I love Bill Bryson's travel books, Graham Greene, Andy Warhol and Joe Orton's diaries, P.G. Wodehouse, Flannery O'Conner, Margaret Atwood, David Sedaris, Joy Williams, Jonathan Lethem, Martin Amis, the LOTR trilogy, Julian Barnes, Jeanette Winterson, Ian McEwan, Annie Dillard and British mysteries by Reginald Hill, P.D. James and Ruth Rendell. Just to name a few.

And while you are at it, read my good friend Sam's book...

Heroes:


Him. (Chris Knight, that is. Not Val Kilmer.)

A juicy, sexy, beefsteak tomato. . .and did I lie about Strange Snow being back? No, I did not. And I deliberately posted a big, flashy, big-mouth blog saying it would be every day, partly so I c...

Achtung, babies

Since May 1, I've drawn Strange Snow every single damn day. (Slightly different format -- some will like, others may hate. But please, don't hate.) So far I have drawn 12 comics in 12 d...

sickbed ramblings

 Nobody has ever written me a love poem. Love letter, sure, but not a poem. Don't know if this says more about me or more about the guys I've been with.  I haven't had a drink since last aug...

The worst

I've never experienced a winter like this before. It's affecting everyone. Nobody is in a good mood. Never have I felt so colorless, so drained, so lacking the will to move. It's even hard to lug my c...
