Wild Cartoonist Loose in New York City

About Me

I,m a True Native New Yorker born and raised. I say things like" Cawfee " and "How ya doing". I,ve lived in the East Village way back in the days of gunshots and drug dealers as neighbors. I enjoy hitting my favorite watering holes from the Beauty Bar to Lit with my friends. There is always some event going on and the village every night of the week. There,s nothing better than summer in New York . I,ve been a comicbook artist for 15 years working on books from either Marvel or DcComics including the acclaimed series by Ellis Transmetropolitan. I currently just finished working on 52 the series. Also Green lantern , X-men, Batman , Spiderman , Green Arrow, Toe Tags by George Romero and many other bookks too long to mention here. I enjoy traveling to conventions in europe because they,re crazy fans there too. Walking and bicycling around is a favorite pass time and cursing at really bad cab drivers. Gets the blood flowing

My Interests

I,m interested in many things. Traveling has influenced me the most. There is nothing like hanging out in any part of Italy and having a drink and a meal. I, can say that i,ve been driven by friends ( because i,m a true New Yorker and can,t drive.) in Bergen Norway, Berlin ,Munnich Germany , Barcelona and Aviles Spain , Paris France. Well you get the idea. It,s just strange to ride around another city in a car . It gives you a whole different persective. Even in my own neighborhood the East Village New York City has a whole diferent look to it in a car.

I'd like to meet:

Rembrandt or John Singer Sargent. Just a few months traing with either of these master painters. It wouldn,t hurt to meet some wild and crazy gals in New york city either!Wait i already meet them, never mind

Music:

I,m into all kinds of music from Beethoven to the Beatles to Velvet Revolver to The Artic Monkeys. The best are the new bands that crop up in the dungeon clubs of New York City like Blonde Redhead ,The Liars , Miho Hitori, The Flesh. The music scene is ever evolving in places like Pianos ,Lit Lounge,and Northsix. That,s what i like about it .

Movies:

Too many to list but a few are Donnie Darko, Gladiator, Master and Commander, Sin City. I also get into the strange films like My Dinner with Andre, Wasabi. I,m always looking for anything with out of control action ,but also many laid back films with great character interaction like Mumford, Shooting Fish and a New York Classic 200 cigarettes

Television:

24 and anything HBO. Rome , Entourage ,Deadwood, The Wire,Curb your Enthusiasm. It,s amazing to me that Larry David doesn,t even do any drugs to come up with half the ideas for episodes of that show. The T.V always on when i working just to hear the dialogue . There are times you can miss out on what,s said between characters when your focused on what they,re doing physically..

Books:

Lately it,s been a lot of Fantasy adventure usually by David Gemmel. For non-fiction The Hopi handbook. The Templar revelations ,

Heroes:

Real life heroes. I live in New York City. All i have to do is look across the street at the Local Firehouse to find a heroe. Anyone working in the NYPD or Emergency service ,They,re the first to put there lives on the line for everyone in the city.
