Creator of Mama’s Boyz-- a comic strip that has been syndicated weekly by King Features since 1995. Artist/writer of the book Mama’s Boyz: As American As Sweet Potato Pie! a 96-page collection of my strips with a foreword by one of my favorite cartoonists, Lynn Johnston (For better or For Worse).

Cartoons featured in Chicken Soup for the African American Soul the newly released Chicken Soup for the African American Woman’s Soul, and short interviews in Will Eisner- A Spirited Life, The Idiot's Guide to Comedy Writing, 100 Years of American Newspaper Comics and the college textbook Facing Difference; Race, Gender and Mass Media. Also featured in a “how to draw cartoons” segment in a video series from Harcourt Press called Media Literacy and Communications Skills.

Check out my newest Flash cartoon:"The Black Superheroes of My Childhood." Also, peep the Feb 2007 issue of Essence magazine to see my illustration on page 150!

So far I've been fortunate enough to have illustated greeting cards, board games, coloring books, posters, t-shirts and lots more. Just ended an 8-year gig at Sports Illustrated For Kids when I was the Editorial Director of the website. Wrote stories, created games, interviewed athletes and made cool cartoons like "The Randy Moss Driving School" (also on my site).
