I just noticed that some nice things were said about me last month over on The Geek Prospectus! Cool! Thanks, internet!
I started drawing a new little comic not long ago and was hoping to have finished it by now but illustration work has been keeping me pretty busy. I recently did some work for Ani DiFranco's Righteous Babe Records and am working on a few more projects for various magazines at the moment. Hopefully I'll find some time to finish up the new comic soon!
Also, please remember to ask your local comic shop to order a few copies of You Ain't No Dancer 3! Publisher Ed Brisson has posted some more information on ordering here.

New illustration added to the folio. This one should be in the May issue of KING Magazine.

After a year of scipting I've finally started drawing what will eventually be a book length comic. Right now I don't have a title for it, but I'm coloring it for the internet and will be posting the pages online as I finish them. They can be found here! Let me know what you think?

I've been selected as an "editor's favorite" on IllustrationMundo.com!

Hello! I just made some big updates to the folio section with seven new illustrations and two old oldies. Some of these were commissioned by private clients, some of them posters for rock shows, some of them things I did for fun, and one of them an illustration that I believe will be in this month's issue of KING Magazine!
   
   

I printed up a new batch of promo postcards, which I will be sending out to several hundred potential clients soon.
In other news, I recently acquired everything I need to start making screen prints, so I'm looking forward to some fun projects with that! I'm keeping my self busy with some new comic projects as well.

I just added a new illustration to the folio. It's from a t-shirt that I recently designed for 100 Damned Guns.

Hello! Things have gotten pretty quiet on this website. I've been busy busy busy. Since my last update I've been busy with illustration work, new comics, and helping my friend Frank Cammuso color his first Knights of the Lunch Table book.
Here is a two page comic that I drew not too long ago. I also put Angelica, my story from Plotz #0, online. I've been posting new stuff fairly regularly on the blog as well, including a new little project that I'm calling Mall Folk. I recently started working a part time retail job at the mall for some extra cash. When things are slow at work, I try to draw some of the strange people that I see wandering around the mall.

Happy Halloween! SPX was a ton of fun. It's always nice to get to see old friends, make new friends, and get a ton of wonderful new comics. Thanks to all the wonderful people that stopped by my table and said nice things or gave me mini comics!
I've started putting comics up on Serializer.net again. Check it out!
October 9
I will be at SPX this weekend! Friday the 12th and Saturday the 13th. I'll be exhibiting with my friends, Jess Fink, Eric Feurstein, and Mike Stevens. If you're going to be there, swing by and say hello!

I set up a blog! I'll be posting work-in-progress, sketchbook doodles, personal work, and anything else that I feel like sharing. Feel free to bookmark it or add it to your RSS feed or something.
Another bit of blog related news is that I am now a member of Sugar Frosted Goodness! It's a collaborative illustration blog. There are dozens of great people contributing, so I'm really excited to be accepted as one of them.

I just added two new illustrations to the portfolio. They're actually from about a year ago, but I just now found them on an old flash drive. I thought I'd lost them when my old computer crashed! What a relief. Anyways, the site is fully functional now, with the exceptions of the blog and the store. I'm going to figure out what I want to do with the blog soon. I plan to get the store up and running in about a month, after the rush to get things ready for SPX, which is coming up soon! If all goes according to plan, I'll be there with my friends Mike Stevens, Jess Fink, and Eric Feurstein.

New! Website! Finally! Excuse the mess - I know a lot of stuff isn't working yet. Hopefully I'll have that taken care of within the next few days.
What have I been up to? I graduated from college. I moved back to my hometown, Syracuse NY. One of the illustrations I did while interning at The Post-Standard last summer won the 2006 Syracuse Press Club Professional Recognition Award for best art illustration, which was quite a surprise. I'm working on a some new mini comics, hoping I can get them done in time for SPX, which I'm almost certain I'll be attending as an exhibitor. I'm also working on a comic for an anthology book, but I'm not really allowed to talk about that yet. I'm helping my friend, Frank Cammuso, doing some of the color work for his first Knights of the Lunch Table book, which is being published by Scholastic. The biggest news of all is that after a bunch of false starts in college, I'm finally working on a graphic novel of my own. I'm still typing up the script, but it's coming together nicely and I'm anxious to start drawing.
