Once upon a time(Approximately 1992-93)I attended the Kubert School with the intention of becoming a cartoon animator. Upon completing my first year I decided on questionable advice to see whether or not the grass was greener in Canada. Things did not pan out.
Shortly thereafter I took up a nomadic existence in a red state somewhere in the American Heartland. Lived in C-Town for about 10 years, worked for a now defunct grocery chain, and even spent 4 decent years working in advertising as a production assistant. Then I found myself laid off.
Along the way I met my beautiful wife(has a degree in Fashion Design) and introduced her wondering mind to all things cartoon and comic book related. We had a child and soon inculcated him with the desire to run around in tights, cape, and cowl battling evil in all it's nefarious glory.
At fifteen I was already deeply immersed in the lore of Elfquest and Warp Graphics, and soon meandered over to Marvel and DC. While at Kubert's I was introduced to Independent comics by my roommates and have since wandered all over comicdom filling my head with all sorts of insanity.
I am currently in comic rehab unable to afford my weekly fix. I haven't done more than flip through the selection on the local spinner rack in four years and have no idea, what is happening out there.
I have spent the last 15 years of my life working on my own independent comic( the manuscript of 12 issues, is at this time about one hundred pages; double that for the art I intend to work into it).I have done a fair amount of freelance work. Mainly, caricature work for hire as well as promotional work for local bands including an album cover or two.
