NEW PAINTING: Share With The Dead
November 10, 2009


Here is a new painting I recently finished titled “Share With The Dead”. Leave a comment with some compliments or constructive criticism.

Two New Minicomics
October 16, 2009


I just finished my first two minicomics.

“Okay? Okay!” – 64 pages / black & white
A double comic featuring work by Aaron Whitaker and Melinda Boyce. It is the real love story of the two artists told through two perspectives in two contrasting art styles.

“Future Ghost” – 44 pages / some color
A fictional story of a girl house sitting for the summer.



Both of these comics will be sold at APE in San Francisco this weekend. They will soon be available online and at many Portland comic book shops (I hope).

APE 2009
September 28, 2009


Come see me in San Francisco, October 17 & 18 at the Alternative Press Expo. I will be selling original art work, comics and t-shirts. Plus check out all the other talented artists and cartoonists there.

“Okay? Okay!” coming out Oct 17th
September 24, 2009


Okay? Okay! is a 60-page “double”-comic book following a relationship from two different perspectives through two different comic styles. One direction tells my view and the other direction features my girlfriend, Melinda Boyce’s, account. During the process we did not let the other see what each of us was drawing.


The comic will be released at the 2009 Alternative Press Expo in San Fransico this October 17 & 18. Shortly afterwards it will be available for purchase online and at some Portland, OR comic book stores.

I will post some more pictures soon.

Massive Website Cosmetic Surgery
August 31, 2009


Okay… well not really massive… but something definitely worth writing ma and pa home about. Included in the reconstruction will be:

  • Better, cleaner look
  • Much, much more comics
  • Music from my two bands: The Jellyfish Bandits and Bat Cave Beach
  • A nifty store
  • More purpose
  • Daily posts (opposed to the monthly ones)
  • plus more?

During this time the website may have issues and ugliness. I’m sorry.
