Has not connected their Facebook account.
I'm a professional musician, independent comic creator and writer living in Los Angeles with my wife and beautiful baby girl, Emily. You can find me playing Spector basses and DR Strings in studios and on gigs all over town - Drop a line if you wanna hang. The critically -adored comics are The Villain (co-created by Pat Loika) and Hard-Bullied Comics (Featuring Billy Blackburn, P.I.). The debut issue of The Villain is sold out entirely, and the second volume of Hard-Bullied Comics, the first-ever musical graphic novel "Dead Zep" is due out this summer. The writing is done for GeekWeek.com, where I've been running the entire debut story arc of Hard-Bullied Comics ("Back in Blackmail") for free, one page a day. Turn-ons include Tequila, great comics, Bourbon, soul music, old school rock n' roll, jazz, crime fiction of every kind, Xbox 360, and a good cigar.
Pat Loika is a writer and an illustrator based out of San Diego. He wrote and self-published the Path to Armageddon, illustrated the Blacklisted graphic novel, and is the artist and co-cretor of The Villain. Pat absolutely loves comics, and hopes to keep creating them for years to come.
