About Me

Hey there. I guess I should write a small introduction about myself, eh? To make us closer friends....
I draw comics.
I've worked with A. David Lewis almost exclusively. He managed to talk me into drawing two of his twisted MORTAL COILS stories. We then decided to push on with our collaboration and tackled the frantic world of international espionage in this year's two issue mini series, EMPTY CHAMBER .
In the middle of creating EMPTY CHAMBER, the good people at Hoarse & Buggy saw my work and asked me to be a part of their critically acclaimed anthology, WESTERN TALES of TERROR . I had the unbelievable good fortune to get hooked up to draw the 8 page story, Other Folks' Troubles, written by none other than Mr. Stuart Moore.
With the completion of EMPTY CHAMBER, I began working with writer Michael May on a comic called Kill All Monsters!. It's a book that pits giant robots against giant monsters. I know. It sounds played out. But this book is different. You'll see.
I've also finished the art for the Matt Dembicki penned story, which is set to appear in the highly anticipated anthology, POSTCARDS .
