Pin-Ups & Warm-Ups 

Well, I've only colored three pin-ups that have been printed, so I'm adding a few things I did for fun and warm-ups.

Fan Art 

I've decided to add a gallery with some of my original art. I am limiting it to comic related things for now though.

Thanx for the add.
Really like your mundAIM gallery. ;-)

I'm really digging your work! Hector Plasm was a great comic, and everyone should buy at least two. The fan art is boneriffic and I think the t-shirt designs are pretty rad too.

Thanks for the good words. When I was sober, I had some funny comments about the Hector pages set in my town, but now I'm drunk and I forget what they were. Easy come, easy go...

Thanks for the compliments on Theater Hopper.

You weren't the guy wearing the "Ask Me How I Became A Pirate" shirt, were you? That was the one I designed.

Then again, I always stop to talk to people wearing Threadless shirts. Even though the site is huge now, I still think of it like it's a small community. It's like finding someone who likes the same obscure band that you do!

Damn! I had no idea you've done so much in comics! Now I gotta go hunt down those issues! Great work!
