About Me

Mythos: Captain America will be in stores July 2nd. Be sure to tell everyone you know and 3 people you don't. This is the 6th and final Mythos book and surely the best. It's also the last time I'll paint interiors for quite a while.

On with my bio: I live and work in Brooklyn, but I was born and raised in Daytona Beach, FL. I have had my dream job of comic book artist for the past 6 years and it only seems to be getting better. I have an unreasonable fear of sharks and quicksand... and I seem to always end up being Spider-Man for Halloween (the costume is always there and I usually wait until the last minute).
