Comics, zombie matters, spooky music, skepticism, kitty-cats, glorious eccentrics of all shapes and kinds, wild speculation about the future, monsters, steampunkery, wrought iron furnishings, H.P. Lovecraft and, of course, Disneyland (Pirates of the Caribbean is my church, my god Thurl Ravenscroft).
I am also interested in you possibly BUYING MY BOOK, Serenity Rose Vol. 1: Working Through the Negativity, available for a song* simply by clicking the image below.

About me: I write and draw comic books. It turns out that's a lot of work.
More specifically, I'm the "goth sensation" responsible for Serenity Rose (from Slave Labor Graphics) and two books for DC's MINX label, Kimmie66 and Confessions of a Blabbermouth (co-written by Mike and Louise Carey).
Also, I used to do character designs for a show called Invader Zim that was murdered and buried many thousands of years ago.
MY WEBSIGHT (for more awesomes!) is HEARTSHAPEDSKULL.COM. There's a Serenity cartoon there and everything.
You can buy most of my ORIGINAL ART right about here. Serenity Rose pages, Fables sketches, Vicious stuff and more, reasonably priced for all occasions.
That is all.
Who I'd like to meet:
Me in a dark alley. I think I could take him.
