Yesterday, I was rear ended by a guy who doesn’t know how to drive in the snow. This morning, I woke up sick. So… 2016 is off to a weird start, but hey, 2015 was a great year!
Last year, I… Continue Reading “My 2015”

My new gig!
Back in September, I left Dark Horse Comics after six years to pursue a position at a brand new company. But, due to the top secret nature of that new job, I couldn’t say anything about where I was headed.
Now, thanks to the killer publicity efforts of Steve Sunu, I’m psyched to share that I’m the senior editor at Stēla: a brand new digital publisher producing exclusive and totally excellent mobile native comics, aka radical comics built specifically to read on your smart phone!

It’s my fourth position in my nearly six years at Dark Horse Comics and my second editorial promotion in the past three years. Continue Reading “Climbing the ladder”

I have written a comic! Birch Squatch: The Last Bigfoot lives!
Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your peepers!
I have written a comic about a bigfoot pushed to his limit that Comics Alliance (who generously covered this indie effort) dubbed “quite possibly the greatest sasquatch-based sci-fi revenge mystery of autumn 2014.” You should use your eyeballs to look at its glorious art and read its excellent words! The comic is called Birch Squatch: The Last Bigfoot and it is currently available digitally on Gumroad. Continue Reading “I have written a comic! Birch Squatch: The Last Bigfoot lives!”
Branch out
I recently read a great piece from Brian McDonald’s Invisible Ink blog about how imagination is like a reservoir.
Here’s a sample, but go read the whole thing (and check out his book too!)… Continue Reading “Branch out”

Learning my medium by doing
I’m not a writer.
I can write. I’ve been paid to write. But I know writers. Real writers. Sit down and type for hours because they have to writers, agonizing over every word writers, write or go crazy writers… And I’m not one of them.
Still, that doesn’t mean I don’t have a story to tell. Continue Reading “Learning my medium by doing”
Movember Moustache Photo Diary 2010: Day 4
I got the first few comments on my Movember 2010 mustache today, which means—that’s right—it’s visible! My “‘stache stain” is dirty and thin, but it’s there and it has no choice but to bloom into a full blown mustache of mammoth proportions!
