Moved here about eight years ago with a steam-trunk and my name. The city really kind of grows on you after that fifth year or so.
In the intervening time, I've made a living drawing funny faces, mastered a laser, gotten lost a lot and once I hugged a lion.

I'm into good stories, writing and riveting, pulse pounding, edge of your seat conversation. Occasionally, I'll write music and even more occasionally I will sing that music.

I work at publisher services company by day. We print comics and everybody there is pretty awesome as a general rule. it's kind of great.

By night and sometimes by dusk, I'm a cartoonist. So when I'm not at work, hanging out with friends or goofing off in town, I'm honing my craft. It's a lot of drawing, a lot of writing and a lot of studying but worth the work. Finishing a story that you conceived of, wrote and drew on your own feels like nothing else.

Oh, I'm also sewing a sweet cape to wear when I slam evil.

Evil's got it coming, y'all.

Writing

Cooking
Those little mazes on the back of cereal boxes
Slamming evil. Seriously. I'm coming for you, dude.

Lately, it's probably my hair.

Words and pictures, how they work together and how stories make us who we are. Think about it, every class you've ever had, besides maybe math classes, has been a bunch of stories that tell you how to do things. That's pretty crazy, right?

Lately, I'm out on Friday nights. If I'm not, I'm probably working on a comic or wasting a little bit of time in Minecraft.

I have a fang.

It is spectacular.

You're smart, fun and funny.

I don't have a lot of don'ts and I think that most people are interesting if you can find the right angle to see them from.
