I've had an amazing time at Hero's Con 2010 in North Carolina and became very inspired by the enthusiasm of many of the web cartoonists there. I've been very unhappy with the earlier parts of my comic, Wizzywig, and have been reformatting and rewriting those strips, to be collected once I finish the rest of the story.

Instead of just disappearing completely I decided to serialize the new improved Wizzywig pages online, with new posts every Sunday and Wednesday at www.wizzywigcomics.com

Come check it out.

Unfinished Page 4 Due To Impending Plane Travel

2010-05-19T21:23:00.005-04:00

This weekend will entail a transatlantic voyage to a comic book festival in Copenhagen, Denmark and involves about 24 hours of airplane travel back and forth.

I thought it would be interesting to upload the last thing I worked on in it's unfinished state in the event that I die in a plane crash or am a victim of some sort of atrocity akin to that movie, Hostel.

The scene above follows a few douchebag correctional officers making their rounds through prison.

A G-20 Cartoon For An Upcoming Exhibit!

2009-08-24T00:17:00.005-04:00

Stay posted for information regarding the big G-20 Cartoon exhibit, at a prestigious venue here in Pittsburgh, with many great illustrators both local and international.

Here is my take on the G-20 as comic book supervillains. This could certainly be inspired by all the G.I. Joe comics I've been reading lately.

Pornhounds #2

2009-06-29T21:14:00.004-04:00

Years ago when I was starting out in comics one of my first gigs was written by a really cool chick named Sharon Lintz. It is called "Pornhounds", and its about her experiences working in the back offices of porno magazines and some of the wild people she dealt with during those times. There were a few artists who collaborated with Sharon to bring the whole thing together.
Check out some examples of the artwork here.
It looks like Pornhounds #1 is still available if you're interested.

Very recently Sharon asked me to be a part of the second volume. I definitely will contribute to the book and judging by this preview she posted online (art by Nathan Schreiber) her story is taking a very important turn.

She's doing fine now and I'm glad she asked me handle some of the art.

More on that later.

Off The Hook

2009-06-26T12:18:00.000-04:00

Last month I was invited as a guest on Off The Hook, a great radio show broadcast from the heart of Manhattan. The 20+ year archive of this show was the major inspiration for my comic, Wizzywig. My whole project is a ruse to be friends with Mad Scientists and Evil Geniuses.

There is a lot of down time.

This is what I did today.

Off The Hook

2009-05-07T01:33:00.002-04:00

I got to be on Off The Hook. Here's the link to listen to it.

The show is one of the coolest, smartest, radio programs in the country. They gave away copies of my Wizzywig comics as part of their radio station fundraiser. It's on a station called WBAI in NYC, which is purely user sponsored, meaning that corporations have ZERO say in what is broadcast.

Consider listening to WBAI's stream and donating to keep the station up and running so that their is a voice aside from the homogenized horseshit that we hear on mainstream networks and such.
