Howdy, I've been a comic book fan for over 25 years, off and on. Things change, friends come and go, but comics seem to be a constant in my life so far. I used to draw a bit, but lately don't do it much anymore. Nowadays, I probably read about 25-30 comic titles on a monthly basis, and it seems I buy more DC/Wildstorm titles, but also get a few Marvel and indy titles in the mix.

In the 1990's I spent a lot of time on the newsgroups, rec.arts.comics.* (posting as "Patman").

Nowadays, I frequent:
Comic Book Resources
Millarworld
Newsarama

I lurk:
The Beat
The Planet/Bluetights
Jeff Parker's blog
Colleen Doran's blog

I went to San Diego Comicon in 1996 and 1997 when it was still a comic book convention, nowadays, it's much more of a multimedia convention, and the crowds seem too unwieldy to have a good time. I do go to Heroes Con (Charlotte, NC) on a regular basis because it's a well-run comic book convention and just the right size without being an overwhelming experience. I also go to Dragon Con every year because I live in a suburb of Atlanta, GA, but it's mainly to snap photos of the costumed attendees and to check out the celebs that show up, plus I go looking for back issues when I get a chance.

Here are some links related to my artwork, sketches I've collected over the years (but I've slowed down in collecting sketches due to time constraints and costs), and photo albums from different comic cons I've attended:

Heroes Con: 2003 - 2004 - 2005 - 2006 - 2007


Dragon Con: 2003 - 2004 - 2005 - 2006

San Diego Comicon: 1997

In the past few years, I have started collecting original artwork, mainly from Ed Benes, Gary Frank, Greg Land, but also anything else that catches my eye and doesn't break the bank. I've finally uploaded scans of my original art collection:
