Personal: I'm a freelance commercial artist by day,
comic writer/artist the rest of the time. I've been
interested in comics since I was 8 years old when my
father, not quite sure what to get me for my birthday,
hauled out a pile of comics he'd bought on the way
home from work. Since that day, comics (and newspaper
comicstrips) have been a part of my life. I've
collected, sold, created, drawn, wrote, lettered,
colored... comics, a wonderful visual medium.
My son collects (though not to the degree I have), now
my grandkids are slowly getting into the feel of it
(albeit a bit too early to tell if the 'fever' will
stay with them).

Works: My first 'professional' works were published
when I was a member of Interfan, penciling spot illoes
and comic strips published in fanzines in the 70s.
From there, Rick Burchett, Paul Daly and I, friends
already, decided to self-publish. We published 4
issues of the comic anthology, Swashbucklers, and 4 or
5 issues of the mini-comic, Vista Graphics Digest, each issue
dedicated to a particular series or anthology.
Paul and I created the Terranauts in the mid-80s and the
1st issue was published by Fantasy General while Rick
went on to greater fame inking Joe Staton's E-Man for
First Comics. I also worked with Bill Black and AC
Comics for most of the 80s on the (still published)
Femforce and my own character, Colt, once a backup in the
AC Comics line.
During the next 15 years, I worked in the commercial
art field while working peripherially in comics, in
one form or another. Companies like Solson (Jim Lee
and I worked on Samurai Santa. Ask him about that
sometime), AC Comics, Caliber, DC Comics... and others
I can't quite remember.
Paul Daly and I put together the Terranauts again,
this time as an online comicstrip for Adventure Strips,
some years back and we've been doing it ever since.
We're also working on a 3-issue Terranauts mini-series
for Ape Entertainment. The Terranauts will soon have
its own comicspace site by May 1st. The color comic
strips will be uploaded twice a week, along with
character bios and illustrstions and cover previews
of the Ape mini-series... Look for it!
