jess smart smiley

Connected as Jess Smart Smiley (1229 friends)

Jess Smart Smiley is a 6'3" bipedal creature, native to Utah's rocky mountains. He spends his days drawing, cooking and biking, and drools over the thought of making pictures for a living. Jess can be seen selling and drinking lemonade on the corner, climbing tall trees, lifting extremely heavy things with his mind, and generally making merriment.

His first graphic novel, Upside Down: A Vampire Tale, is soon to be released from Top Shelf Productions and can be pre-ordered at: http://www.topshelfcomix.com/catalog/upside-down/736
