Drippan
I am a graphic designer and illustrator who has been working on and off in comics for the past fifteen years. My most recent work was during this year's 24 Hour Comic Book Day at Buy Me Toys.Com which is now available as a webcomic .PDF at drippandesign.com. (and it kind of makes up for my "Jesus Comix" days...) Download it by clicking here  I haven't been doing a lot of comic work in the past few years since I have been working on my BFA in graphic design and minor in art history but you may remember me as the creator of "Action Cop!" or my reteling of Dostoyevski's Crime & Punishment mini-comic featuring Nancy, Sluggo and Popeye among others. I also did "Jesus Comix" for Plastic Soda, "My Life" for National Lampoon and "Popped Culture Theater" for BC Magazine. In addition to that I wrote mini comic reviews for both the old Comic Book E-Mag and, although this will probably date me, the Syco Comic Distribution cataloge S.C.A.N.S. as well as the comic strip "Zeke & Clem". In addition to my comic book work I am a veteran of the United States Army and a commissioned infantry officer currently serving in the Indiana Army National Guard. Visit my newly updated (as of 12-22-06) website at http://www.drippandesign.com or at my myspace page and feel free to drop me a line and say hello.

John -- just rec'd a PM from David about the Action Cop strips. Unfortunately, I don't have any of that archived. Man, I can't believe you didn't save that stuff! 1 Reply [ Latest posted on March 1st, 2007 2:09 PM ]

Ed-
Yeah, I'm a moron. ;-)
I may have some of them still on my old PC but I'll have to dig it up and do some hunting. I did use archive.org (thanks to a suggestion from Ben Avery) but was only able to find old placeholders, alas...
Thanks for letting me know though. And check out the new stuff on my Comicspcae.
Thanks again, man!

ACTION COP lives again! I love the new Infotainer strip! AC's second panel reaction is classic.

Hey! Thanks for the words about AC!
I hope to start posting them once a week once I get my studio unpacked. Hopefully in another week or two. I may even make up for this last week and post a couple of old ones.
I really dig your stuff, man! Your style is really cool. I especially like your tribute to Johnny Cash among other things. Great stuff! |

Hey JT!
Glad you got my e-mail and decided to join up! I hope to get to come out and see you again sometime early next year. Say hi to the kids! (And I need to get wedding pictures printed for you--it meant so much to us for you to be there).
And I'm stoked to see what you can offer up for the hosted comics section when that gets rolling. Drippan mini-comics still have a place of honor at home.
