About me:

I'm a twenty something comic creator (I draw yes, but I'm also a writer)looking to break into professional comic work. Currently I'm pursuing a number of personal projects as well as collaborative efforts with my studio mates at Space-Gun.com. To date I've worked on several smaller local projects and done pin-up work for a Devil's Due release titled Serpo (art for that being helmed by the masterful Joe Eisma). I attend conventions, I paint, I fence, I draw, I watch movies, and when I can find a free moment from all that I sleep. I'm currently dating one of the sweetest and most awesome women ever to be made of sugar and spice. She's the highlight of my days. I'm currently looking for any kind of reasonably paying/awesome art jobs or gigs I can find. As Queen would say, "I want it all, and I want it now".

Who I'd like to meet:

Any established and upcoming artist's, writers, or creators in the field. I love to collaborate with people.
