Storytelling
I’m a storyteller at heart, and I’ve been lucky to work in several different concentrations at the same time during my career.
Cartoonist
Published by Fantagraphics and SpongeBob Comics, I earned an MFA in Cartooning from the Center for Cartoon Studies. I have also created several webcomics.

Support Your Local DJ
I started posting my new comic to Instagram this week. Browsing my feed, it consisted of memes. I couldn’t find my friends or other accounts I follow. It was nothing but meme accounts. And I wasn’t sure why I was being shown most of this until I noticed that friends...
Won’t You Be My Patr(e)on?
I launched my Patreon last month. The British may call the effort “willy nilly.” I prefer to think of it as the dam finally bursting. I kept putting this off. The time had come, it was Halloween, and I thought, screw it let’s do this. It’s not...
Join Me on Patreon
I decided spur of the moment to launch my Patreon tonight. Maybe it was the fact that Halloween is here, and the new graphic novel that I'll be sharing on Patreon takes place in Hell. I've heard some Halloween tales have taken place near that locale! Regardless, I...
