If you've enjoyed my comics/art and have a little extra money to donate, I'd really appreciate it. I'm unemployed currently and spend most of my money trying to fund art supplies, printing costs and top ramien. Cheers!

Happy Thanksgiving… here is a very unrelated painting.


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.


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


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).

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


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).
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.
