I am a 31 year old comic artist, art historian, writer, and lapsed painter whose battle cry is "Nerdin' it UP!" I live with my wife, newborn daughter, and two Russian-named dogs in Dallas

I have drawn, off-and-on, the comic strip Cosmo since 1988, which has been published in the Austin-American Statesman's weekly entertainment magazine "X.L. Ent.", the Denton-Record Chronicle, and online in one crappily-designed website after another. Cosmo is currently on hiatus.

In addition to my comic work, I have a Masters degree in Art History and work at the Dallas Museum of Art developing adult programs (that's "adult" as in "for adults" and NOT as in "adult cinema" - it's a crucial distinction). One fun program of interest I coordinate there is the Comic Book Club: it's a book club that only reads comics and graphic novels. It's great fun, and I will post future meetings here for anyone interested.

Please visit my website at www.cosmocomics.net if you're interested in my comic work, and feel free to email me if you have any suggestions, criticism, or good chili recipes.
