My Bio
I have been drawing comics for as long as I can remember. As a kid (in the 90's), I always wished I could share my comics with the world and now I finally can, thanks to the All-Powerful Internet.

I live in Pittsburgh and I love it. I also love David Bowie, video games, and cartoons.

All of my art is hand drawn and colored; I am entirely self taught and love to create.

It's been quite some time since I released the first self-published collection of my comics, but never fear! Volume Two is here! Virginia is a People Name: Volume Two is bigger and better than Volume One with 32 pages of comics. It includes three NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN cartoons for those brave few that follow my comics online! Like the last zine, Volume Two is 8.5" x 5.5", hand made, hand colored (with glitter!) and hand-sewn with love and care. You can check it out on Etsy at: http://www.etsy.com/listing/97035989/virginia-is-a-people-name-volume-two Enjoy!

I have finally made my first zine! It's a collection of my comics from the past year or so. I'm very excited about it! It is called "Virginia is a People Name". The title comes from all those times people have asked me what my connection to the state of Virginia is...and I have none! Did you know the first English settler born in America was named Virginia? It's a people name, yo. Anyway...each 20-page zine is packed with comic goodness, with hand-sewn binding and a hand-colored cover. Drawn and assembled with love! It is available on Etsy for a reasonable sum: http://www.etsy.com/listing/77020082/virginia-is-a-people-name And if you live

Today is my first true day of unemployment, being that I am at home after getting laid off and traveling to New York last week. I'm trying to maximize my time between jobs by drawing as much as I can. My goal is to create enough material to warrant purchasing a table at Pittsburgh's next PIX indie comics expo, which means I need at least 70 more pages of comics. So currently, I'm drawing and writing two graphic novels and a few 'short story' comics. The short stories are all things that have happened in my life or in my family, and I'd like for them to become their own collection. The graphic novels are The Orbs of Power and All the Strangers
