[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3qYk6Fu6eE] Doug TenNapel has been one of my favorite creators, ever since my Dad introduced me to his all-clay computer game,ย the Neverhood, in either sixth or seventh grade. His quirky characters, funky stories and cream-of-the-crop monsters have all been instant favorites of mine and I’m the proud owner of all 10 of his graphic novels.…
Later this Fall, my first graphic novel, Upside Down: A Vampire Tale, will be released from Top Shelf Productions. To get people excited about the book, Top Shelf invited me to contribute a four-page story to this year’s Free Comic Book Day issue! Dad got me into Free Comic Book Day years ago when it…
This week’s contribution to Phillip Sevy’s Periodic Heroes blog. This week’s theme is Invader Zim.
Anne Koyama is a force in indie comics and runs the publishing house, Koyama Press. Just check out these amazing books from Chris E., Tin Can Forest, and Dustin Harbin. She already has a logo, but keeps a running Flickr set of artist’s variations of her KP logo—this is my contribution.

This is strange for me. I don’t think I’ve ever posted to a blog so consistently. Hopefully these posts are doing something good for someone, instead of me just rambling on the internet… This is page 2 from my new comic. It’s slow-going, but steady, so far, and I should be finished with the full…
A few months ago, I was invited to contribute to a comics anthology, but just didn’t have the time (until recently) to work on a story. This comic will be 12 pages long and I’ll be trying out a few techniques I haven’t used before. The trickiest part will be in drawing the detailed, graphically…
From the Doodler’s Anonymous website: Blik, the world’s first removable wall graphic company, is teaming up with Doodlers Anonymous for this next big showcase and we are jumping up and down because of it. But take note: This challenge is a sticky one! Have you ever wanted to go crazy on your wall with a…
