Announcing My Latest Comic and Patreon
I hinted at this on my last post, but I’ve been working hard on getting a new comic ready to share. I haven’t posted any work online since they still called them “webcomics.” Either way, I’ve been tooling with this comic for the better part of ten years and I’ve...
Giving Yourself Permission to Play
How are you doing? I’ve been busy. It’s been three years since we last talked. I was promoting a documentary. I’ve since helped out on another documentary. It’s good. They are both streaming on Amazon Prime Video if you want to watch them. I knew a lot about the...
50 Summers
The world changed overnight, and I forgot to make a big deal about our movie being released. I’m sure like me, all of you have been stunned by the spread of the COVID–19. I hope you are home. I hope you are safe. And I hope you are healthy. I am all three (home, safe,...
Diggity Do!
I recently completed a strip for Seven Days again and realized that it's been over a year since I last posted here. A lot has happened since then. TLDR: I was depressed. Bad Medicine In August 2018, I heard back from my cardiologist. I had finished my 6 month checkup...

You Will Be Missed, Dean
I'm saddened to learn about the passing of Dean Allen this week. He was one of the great writers and designers of the independent web. And he created one of the best content management systems of the early 00's – Textpattern. Nearly every site I built between 2005...
Inktober 2017…From Hell
For this year’s Inktober, I’m turning it into a work assignment. I’m going to be working on a graphic novel set in Hell after I finish The Walk. And I wanted to use the month as an opportunity to do some research and character studies on demons. Demons who I’d like to...
Surgery Is A Great Way To Stop Drawing Comics
Twenty-six years ago, I dislocated my right knee while we were on a family vacation in Colorado. After the initial dislocation, it seemed to be better. I wasn't running a marathon or anything, but it was okay to walk on. Several days later, we stopped for an...
