Free thinker, writer of comics, motion comics, stories, and video, videogame art maker, great collaborator with other creative people. In a nutshell, that is me.

Two years ago things began to pick up speed. I wrote "P.O.D.: The Nexus" for artist/creator Mat Broome. It was published in 2008 by Zondervan Press, a division of Harper Collins. What a great experience it was since the comic was published along with a CD of P.O.D.'s music. Over the top!

That year while working my Artists Alley table at the San Diego Comic Con I met Brad Boyink, marketing pro with Meal Magic. He needed a comic book team to put out the next Meal Magic corporate comic and I stuck with them while they drafted the script and did a sample layout. In 2009 my art / inking partner Johnny B. Gerardy and I completed the comic, called "A Tale of Two Schools," and Brad and his boss, Jim, were very happy with the results. The comic is being printed now and will be distributed to Meal Magic clients, schools, and other potential buyers. Look for us at the San Diego Comic Con 2010; we'll have copies!!

I am now working on two projects:

First is a cookbook called, "Batter! Broil!! Baste!!! The Comic Book Creators Cookbook," that has already been picked up for publication by Square One Publishing. The catch, I am looking for someone at Kickstarter.com to toss an invitation my way so I can raise money to pay Johnny B. Gerardy to complete artwork for the book. THE COMIC BOOK CREATORS COOKBOOK IS DEFINITELY THE PROJECT FOR KICKSTARTER.COM because without funding, Johnny B. Gerardy , who is putting the sequential artwork together, won't be able to contribute.

Second, my own comic, "Gun Nose Presents," is a look at a hard core conservative transmogrified into his worst visual nightmares and cast into an alternate reality where he is forced to be a talk show host. Lots of humor, lots of surprises. Look for it soon on Kickstarter.com.
