Silky Screening the KRAKEN!
Silkscreen MADNESS! or something like that as the March towards APE continues! 3 of the 4 colors are done! Just need to print the back and the cover! This is my second edition of this book- I’ve changed the colors up a bit and added a pattern to the back. This version will debut at […]

SPX bound!
Once again! Time to load up my wagon with my humble comic book and wares and venture south to the cartooning utopia of Bethesda, Maryland. Ok, maybe not as romantic as that but I’ll along with my studiomates Jen Tong and Tory Sica, along with a former studio mate Anuj Shrestha will be exhibiting at […]
fight!Fight!FIGHT! (the webcomic)
There probably few who are familiar with my comic “fight!Fight!FIGHT!” Mainly, actually completely because I’ve only released it as risographed zine that I only sell at festivals. That’s changing RIGHT NOW! I’m going to put the entire thing up on tumblr as a webcomic- is it just gnarly ol’scans that I’m putting up? no sir, […]

RIPExpo was good for it’s first year and I’m looking forward to it next year.

He’s pretty FANTASTIC
I did this as an illustration earlier this year and couldn’t stop thinking it would be a good silkscreen print- here’s the mock-up for the print. I’ll be screening it tomorrow! I’ve also set it up as T-shirt at Tee-Public. On side note. I hate humidity. I really do.
