New Painting: Neck Holes
November 27, 2009


Happy Thanksgiving… here is a very unrelated painting.


New Painting: A Midsummer’s Extinction
November 27, 2009


New Painting: The Loch
November 13, 2009


I was watching this awesome documentary called Objectified while painting this. It’s a film about product design and I completely geeked out to it. It made me want to paint more simply and design conscious which I think shows in the painting.


NEW COMIC: BEARDAMORPHOSIS
November 12, 2009


Here is a new comic about the world’s first beard.


STORE OPEN FOR BUSINESS
November 10, 2009


The online store is now up and running. Currently I have two low-priced comics for sale. I’m unemployed so any purchases would be greatly appreciated. Also my comics can be purchased at stores around Portland, Oregon (see the store section for complete list).



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).
