The Awkward Quarterly #1
April 23, 2010


I just finished my first issue of “The Awkward Quarterly”, which is a mini-comic series of my autobiographical work. This issue is divided into two parts: “Teenage Ruckus” (dumb things I did as a teenager) and “Starving Artist” (dumb things I am doing now). It is debuting at Portland’s Stumptown ComicFest this weekend, then I will add it to my online store to buy on Monday. It’s black and white, 48 pages and only 3 bucks! Enjoy a preview of it below:



Also debuting at Stumptown ComicFest is the first chapter of Melinda Boyce and I’s coming of age horror comic series, “Batcave Beach”. I’m so excited about how it turned out.



Misc Road Trip Comics
April 13, 2010


I found a couple road trip comics that I never posted. I know they’re out of context and not that great, but it’s better than the nothing I have been giving you the last couple weeks. Sorry! Once I am done preparing for Stumptown Comic Fest I will have tons of updates.


Album Artwork
April 02, 2010


Our album is coming soon. I’m really excited! Just finished mixing and the cover art (Melinda did the awesome embroidery).

Wanderlust

Although, I’m sure we’re all thinking that same thought and we’re just projecting our own hesitations on eachother.

In Their Image
March 22, 2010


I’m going to be posting a new comic everyday from now up until Stumptown ComicFest at the end of April, so check back often! I also really enjoy reading comments, so comment away please!

EDIT: So I’m a liar, it doesn’t look like I will posting everyday. There’s just too much work to get done! I can promise that I will post as much as possible though.

I did an interview for GizMag #8, a really cool art PDF magazine. My girlfriend, Melinda Boyce, and great cartoonist, Jeffrey Brown, are among the other rad artists in the magazine. Check it out, it’s free to download.
